They are making the usual anti-EU noises now, but we shall see what they actually do once they have won power.<br />They don't seem to realise how popular a campaign to cut the EU down to size would be. Polls show that a large proportion of the public wants to leave the EU altogether, and replace it with a free trade arrangement.
