Hello Just thought I would say hello. I joined the party a week or so ago after being a member of UKIP for a few years. I had never felt very comfortable with UKIP - too right wing for me - but I am against our membership of the EU, particularly in its present form.

Hello hello, fancy meeting you here. :)

Hello Alex - is this the party for the future?
I did not get a notification of your reply and I had ticked the right box.

As a Lib Dem I'm duty-bound to answer your question very definitely in the negative. Now that's out of the way, I look forward to discussing things with you... 8)

This isn't my forum so I am afraid I cannot give you any explanation as to why you are not receiving notifications.
Party for the future?
I don't know but it's worth a try.

Hi Millennium3 - thanks for your email, and welcome to the forum!

There is a facility to automatically notify you by email if somebody sends you a PM, but so far as I know there isn't a facility to notify you if somebody replies on a thread you have started. (I could be wrong about that, though).

Thanks for your welcome Tom.
The item in the profile section I ticked says:
'Always notify me of replies:
Sends an e-mail when someone replies to a topic you have posted in. This can be changed whenever you post.'
However this is just a small convenience and of no importance.

Thanks for your welcome AST. As I explained in my opening post, my concern is our membership of the EU so, I think you must agree, the Lib/Dems is not the party for the future for me.

I see it now. Somehow I've never noticed that before! I wonder why it doesn't work? I'll experiment with it a bit and let you know if I manage to fix it.

OK- thanks Tom.

I get reply notifications...
Anyway, if you're liberally-minded and euro-sceptic/euro-phobic then the Liberal Party may well be the party for you - if you see Europe as a defining issue (in all honesty I see it as a side issue to the fundamental need for liberalism in government - and, of course, am on the other side of the debate anyway).

Is your benevolence towards the EU because you see the laws that it is responsible for making, and will be making to an ever increasing degree once the Lisbon Treaty is fully implemented, are more liberal than a British government would make, or is it that you do not recognise that the EU would severely hamper any future Lib/Dem government from making the liberal laws you desire?

Neither. It's on its own merits. But perhaps that should go to another thread?
Eurosceptics seriously overestimate the power of the EU and also massively underestimate the power of the UK in making them. If the UK puts its foot down it's extremely unlikely a regulation will come into effect. Until Lisbon is ratified it's actually impossible for anything to be passed by the EU legislature without the consent of the UK government.

I have moved the topic to International Affairs.
