WE saw the Referendum party hold its first and, probably, its last conference in Brighton.

It goes without saying that any political party with only one policy has little future, but, by fielding candidates in most seats at the General Election, they could end up with exactly what they don't want - a federal Europe.

It is no secret that if Labour were to win the election, they would sell this county down the river to the Eurocrats.

In this country there is only one party which will ensure that Britain holds on to its sovereignty and self rule, that is the Conservatives.

The bottom line is that a vote for the Referendum Party at the general election is a vote for ensuring a Federal States of Europe.
