Paul Nuttall on Channel 4 tomorrow

Paul Nuttall MEP is on The Political Spot on Channel 4 tomorrow at 6:55pm talking about the Union for the Future policy.

There has been a great deal of interest in the policy which calls for a renewal of the union on a federal basis with effective and equal devolved government for all four member states of the UK.  That interest has resulted in a number of new members and defections from other parties, mostly from the English Democrats.

I'm told that the policy has a couple of gaps that need addressing before it is published in full and that it will definitely be for devolved government with a devolved executive (ie. an English Parliament) and not a Grand Committee of British MPs elected in England as claimed by one of the English Democrats' main financiers.

UKIP Wales ignoring public opinion ... again

UKIP Wales has ignored countless opinion polls and two Welsh referenda in favour of devolution and published a "counter-proposal" to Paul Nuttal's Union for the Future policy proposal.

The "counter-proposal" is basically a restating of UKIP's currently policy that doesn't make sense, has minority support amongst the electorate and is so fundamentally flawed that it could never work.  The document contains just about every lie, misconception and misunderstanding about devolution that has been put out by the Big Britishers that oppose devolution.

I have taken apart the "counter proposal" almost line by line (it's that bad) and corrected it.  You can read it here.

The message from the party on this rubbish from UKIP Wales is that the NEC supports Union for the Future, the policy committee supports Union for the Future and the leader supports Union for the Future.
