Norman Lowell, head of Imperium Europa this morning welcomed the fact that he had doubled his votes in the European Parliament elections but said that in not electing him, the people had wasted an opportunity to put the main issue facing their civilisation at the top of the agenda in Europe.

"I intend to fight on, our flag if fluttering, we have not been obliterated," Mr Lowell said at a press conference outside the law courts.

"The votes we won were not a protest vote, this was an ideological vote by people who know what the issue facing the country is," Mr Lowell said. "People did not vote for us to spite somebody else."

Mr Lowell said his party had imposed its ideas on the major parties and had thus won the most important battle of all, the battle of ideas.

"We are an ideological party, not a party of opportunists" he said.

However he complained that he was ignored or treated shabbily y the media and said the time had now come to form a well structured right party.

"We have more than doubled our support, and we will now redouble our efforts to defend this country," Mr Lowell said.

He forecast tough times for the country adding, however, that the people had been warned. "The political ignorance in this country is unbelievable and makes you cry," he said, pointing out that the people had voted for individuals who had wasted four years chasing the dream of burden sharing which could not be realised.
