Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

UKIP - what is that colour? I suppose it's memorable, but - er - dayglo pink and yellow, for libertarians?

The 'To help, call...' flash is good. They're recruiting, and you can get involved. It's interesting how most of the other parties have missed that minor point.

They seem to have found someone professional to do their media for them. The website isn't bad and it even has a flash video on it. With music, and stuff.

But something very depressing is happening - between the UKIP, the BNP and the other nationalist parties, the election has been turned into a de facto referendum on EU membership.

Where's the EU to present a positive case? It's Ireland all over again - the pro-vote isn't even visible, while the anti-vote is engaged, passionate (albeit cynically) and reasonably well funded.

I'm starting to suspect the lack of subtlety in some advertisements is more subtle than it appears.  A deliberate appeal to voters sick of slick politicians.

And I guess everyone else has noticed the similarity of the victory salute to a certain rude Anglo gesture.
