Millions of people are hoping they are for real and that there will be change and that we will gain independence from the bureaucrats in Brussels, but it may all just be a mirage. They will win the Euro elections, then we will have to see what they do in Europe and how they run the General Election campaign.
It may just end up as plus ca change
