The reason that a slogan is important is that people forget all he heavy print and just remember the slogan.

If you dont have a slogan then they dont remember anything that you have said.

The slogan I like is:-

I want a referendum on the new EU Treaty.

The UKIP result in the Sutton New Hall ward on the 22nd October will be very different.
