I WOULD like to express my gratitude to all those who voted for the UK Independence Party, Mid-Worcestershire constituency.

Many thanks for giving me your support at the recent General Election. Together, we doubled the vote taken at the 1997 election, which is most encouraging.

It shows that by making the effort, we can make a stand against the major parties' intentions to take our country further and irrevocably into the EU.

Please continue your support by attending future meetings and debates.

TONY EAVES,
