SADLY Chris Davies Lib Dem MEP for the North West has chosen to fight his Euro Election campaign in the gutter.

The UK Independence Party ( UKIP) will not be joining him there.

By using tactics so beloved by politicians and loathed by the electorate, he exposes the extent of his desperation as he faces political obscurity in June.

Why are the North West's Europhile MEPs producing gratuitous insults instead of positive arguments? Because they know the game is up, they know that the British people will vote against the EU Constitution when they have the chance and will use the forthcoming Euro Elections to reinforce their rejection of an undemocratic, corrupt, monolithic European Federalist State.

Tony Blair's U-turn on a referendum for the EU Constitution was not initiated by the right wing press or the Conservatives; it was sheer people power.

It was hundreds of thousands of signatures on petitions, many collected in the North West by UKIP. It was the thousands of post cards sent to the Queen begging her not to agree the EU Constitution.

It was you the people and you should be extremely proud of that.
