Indigenous brits are waking up at last to what is happening to our country.Floods of immigrants being allowed to settle here raping our hospitals, schools and social services.The people have had enough of being ignored by the main political parties. UKIP listen, the rest bury their heads.

Ukip are just in the right place at the right time to gather up the enormous and growing swathes of population who despise mainstream politicians. In truth they are a complete rabble (which is strangely part of their appeal) with a totally incoherent set of policies.
|

By:
Vote UKIP to stop the madness.

By:
The rabble, as you call them, are the other parties you steaming nitwit.

By:
I would say the others are deluded, pompous and arrogant. But ukip are a rabble.

By:
Wow!! I am thinking back to what the rabble did to bring down the monarchy in France
Gulp!!! If they are a rabble I suppose it shows how poor the other parties are!! |
|
By:
You might well be right. Rabbles can be hugely powerful forces, often for the better. But they are still rabbles

The labour party are going to be wiped off the political map in england as they have been in scotland.

By:
If they're a rabble what does it say about the parties they are taking votes from.
The other parties need to wake up and realise that name calling isn't working and they need to start listening to people. |

By:
UKIP are the only working class party, so the north of England will vote UKIP

What a crying shame ukip failed by such a small margin in Manchester..like most of my bets, beaten a short head again

By:
bigmo - I totally agree with you. You ask the right question. The fact a young party which emerges from a single issue party with little discipline, a fair share of weirdos in high positions and a fairly random set of policies can get the support it gets says everything about the state of the other parties.

we should be very grateful that we have UKIP.
In the latest general election in Sweden, the Sweden Democrats, who are the equivalent of the BNP, got 13% of the vote because every other mainstream party refused to make commitments about reducing immigration. They turned it into a them or us thing. That's right 1 in 7 people in a country which apparently is the most racially tolerant in the world were prepared to vote for massive dangerous racists because that's how concerned they are about this single issue. In the UK and in Sweden, and other parts of Europe, this is all about registering a vote over a single issue which affects a lot of peoples lives which isn't being addressed by the mainstream parties. People are showing that they don't care too much about the party that carries the issue. We should be grateful that we have a moderate bunch of mild misogynist anachronistic racists representing this issue rather than a motley collection of frothing cross burning loons. but of course, it would be better if the mainstream parties addressed these issues themselves. |

Great results but now Nigel Farage has a problem. What does he do about defectors from the other parties who wish to join UKIP?
|
|
By:
Does he take all and sundry or will he be choosy?

Just the deranged and deluded

By:
^^^ Look who surfaced on a UKIP thread.
![]() The Guardian reader. The forumite who reads the newspaper that 'publishes the truth' - but doesn't let people have comments that don't agree with their stance, they are deleted before getting a chance to be viewed. |
|
By:
They may be deranged but they aint deluded,deluded is somebody who votes for a party which covered up and swept under the carpet the systematic sexual abuse of underage vulnerable young white girls and boys by an ethnic minority group because they feared it might stir up some trouble.
Through political dogma and the imperious self belief that the good of the party was greater than the welfare of our children ,hang your head in shame if you voted labour. |

By:
give facts a break he is hard of hearing

|
By:
I suppose if the two mainstream parties keep banging on that UKIP is a racist party & full of loons then there will be a rather large minority that will totally believe that 100%

Farage is married to a German. He's anti EU not anti European.
He is however, just another public schoolboy who thinks if he's pictured holding a pint he can connect with the working man, he's only ever known money. |

What a pity they didn't take Middleton.

By:
Working class people will leave the tories and labour and vote UKIP. Young people once they get over
their indoctrination will vote UKIP increasingly, and the intelligent middle classes are turning. There is a revolution happening. |

By:
Apparently, if Labour had lost that close seat, Red Ed's position would have been untenable. I can't think of would have replaced him but Balls would have been another major disaster.
If I was having a bet now, I would be on the Tories to win most seats at 5/4. (given Labour's weakness to hold on to marginal seats) |

UKIP = whiteys last stand. Farage = canute

labour held middleton despite the low turn out. The big threat is to the tories. UKIP will get votes in labour areas but they are unlikely to take many seats. They are more likely to stop tories winning in a number of key marginals and may take some seats off them down south. |

By:
THe UKIP bandwagon will pick up speed by next May. Labour voters will begin to get more exposure to Milipede and despair as Farage talks their language more than Ed could ever do. I wonder if Ed will even be there by May next year.Chukka will increase the UKIP vote even more.
