The party has a number of policies I support:
- withdrawal from the European Union
- establishment of an English parliament within the Union
- Elected mayors
- civic nationalism
The ED lost members. Its AGM in September had a low turnout (6o approx) compared to the previous year. Many people were disappointed that Mr Uncles, who had resigned from the NC, was elected chairman of the South-East area and thereby became entitled to a seat on the NC.
Following the NC meeting on October there has been claim and counter-claim as to the membership of the NC and roles of individual NC members. Whilst one expected the discontent to rumble on until the next NC meeting, the issue exploded on the ED Facebook page today as one of the page's administrators made a number of incendiary comments. These have been deleted, but thanks to screen-capture' technology the comments have been saved for posterity. The comments may be viewed at:

Washing dirty linen in public?
Saddled with debts of more than £200,000, internal strife and an inability to run a whelk stall the party has shot itself in both feet, kneecaps and hands. Unless order and stability is re-established very quickly the party either will soon be listed in the archive of failed parties or become something rather different to what it was a few months ago. What is needed desperately is clear - headed thinking, determination and resolve by the moderate civic nationalists within the party. Time is short, it will soon be High Noon.
