text: if we have another 10 years of labour government will the uk cease to function as a distinct state?   the process has already reached such an advanced stage that a better question might be 'after 9 years of this blairite/new labour government is there anything that can be done to prevent the uk from ceasing to function as a distinct state?'  the solution?  defend the union, re-take the power to govern this country from the bureaucrats in brussels and repeal all this oppresive centralism, devolve power to the lowest possible levels, as near to the people (who pay the bills after all) as possible.
