YOUR reader, Mr Dix, (SWA 3.11.14) asks what we are to make of UKIP doing deals with far right MEPs.

Had the EFDD not accepted these people into their ranks, then the largest British party (UKIP) would have lost valuable speaking rights, thanks to EU rules.

Does it not occur to Mr Dix that by being members of the EU, we are already in parliament with these far right organisations.
