The Conservatives aren't phobic enough to be as sceptical as UKIP

The latest trend within the UKIP is to label the Conservatives as some sort of raging Europhile party, because God forbid there can be no other Eurosceptic party like a UK Independence Party.

Let's get facts straight.  It doesn't require somebody with a batchelors in investigative journalism to see that the Conservative Party is made, largely of Eurosceptics.  The reason this can oft go unnoticed is because the Conservative Party membership refuses to play the putrid Eurosceptics game whereby made in Britain good, made anywhere else evil.  Conservative Eurosceptics are intelligent, not emblazened with potty ideals of what Britain should be and as a result of this Conservative Euroscepticism rarely, if ever gets a mention in the media.

However, UKIP of course, with its bizarre anti-immigration and anti-Islam claims by individuals such as Gerrard Batten will always get press attention.  Who wants to know about a Conservative MEP who is against Turkey joining the EU purely on current economic grounds when they can wheel out barmy aging men like Gerrard Batten to continue his immigrant-bashing crusades and make bizarre claims like "80 million Muslims coming to Britain".

UKIP Euroscepticism is based purely on phobia and negativity.  The majority of its members would not be in the party if it ever decided to cease its anti-immigration stance.  That is an undeniable fact that Mr Farage on a daily basis feels embarassed about and no wonder he has resigned as leader.  Who would want to lead a party full of phobics?

Back to my original point.  Michael McManus in this article accuses Cameron of being a Europhile which anybody who knows Cameron or has been interested enough to research him knows is utter cock and bull.  I advise Mr McManus and other UKIP members who have been lulled in to the delusion that Cameron is a Europhile to research his first campaign literature, before he was leader of the Conservatives.

I believe Cameron was elected over David Davis on one sole issue; his Euroscepticism.  Cameron promised his party that he would remove them from the ghastly European grouping that they were a part of pre-2009.

However I'm not hear to deny McManus, a delightfully intelligent fellow, any agreeance if it is deserved.  For he is indeed right when he says that trouble awaits the Conservatives if the leadership sway towards Europhillia.  There are certainly more Eurosceptic members then there Europhiles, but what outweighs both camps is the Reformists within the party.  These people are neither sceptic or phillic about the EU, but seek to reform it to the best of Britain's interests.

One worry I do have is that a turn towards Eurofederalist ideals within the Conservative Party leadership will lead to far right anti-immigration parties like UKIP and the BNP dredging up more support.

It is great to see the UKIP try to sound certain that the Conservatives are for a Federalist Europe whilst they rock back and forth nervously knowing that this indeed will not be the case.  Only time will tell and time will tell that Mr Farage will be on his way to the Conservatives very soon.
