In reply to Sarah Leigh’s letter referring to my Portslade meeting (Letters, February 26), she really doesn’t understand the role of Ukip.

As explained in the meeting, Ukip is elected to oppose all EU legislation and propose our own sensible legislation that works for the UK and that MPs can vote on, not a homogenised, one-size-fits-all, 28-state solution, which she supports, and over which our MPs have no say whatsoever.

If voters want more than 70% of our laws made in Brussels by un-elected bureaucrats; agree that damaging EU floods legislation has contributed to our own mis-guided handling of flood plains; that uncontrolled immigration is driving down wages and has contributed to the building of houses to cope with the influx on flood plains; that primary school are full to bursting point; green taxes are making pensioners choose between heating and eating and low income families having to pay more for food because of Common Agricultural Policy, then vote for the other pro-EU parties. That is the voters’ choice.

As membership secretary of the European Movement, she too has an agenda. We are diametrically opposed. Yet I agree with Sarah, let the voters choose.
