I actually have no clue other than NOT UKIP. The public seem to be looking at them as an alternative not realising they're just as useless as the idiots in power but with a bit of racism to boot.

But really, I don't have faith in any of them. They're all well on their way to ruining the country.

UKIP have no policies beside immigration and people are falling for it. EU is far more beneficial than hurtful for our economy and most of our immgration issues come from outside the EU. Simple changes like having to pay into the ecomony for 2 years before you get any benefits or NHS cover would sort most of it. Not leaving the EU.

This is just simply not true.

They have lots of policies. It's just which ones they'll talk about depends on the audience they're talking to.

What policies? Everytime one of their Politicians names one, Farage seems to disown it.

It's scary to see so many people vote UKIP


Why is it scary?

Because they're a bunch of chancers with no actual plan other than the pull out of the EU. Sadly there are far more things which require thought out policy than just this, whether you are pro or anti EU.


Have you read their policies?  Yes UK independence is a main one, the amount of support they are getting shows that a lot of people are anti EU, I don't see how that is scary, how do you know they won't do better than the current 3 main parties? If no one else is given the chance



Present tories aren't half bad. Little bark and less bite, and given the recent parliamentary vote on Palestine, obviously not bad lots.

(Farage for PM)



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

According to the votes so far, ukip wins

All they have done is fearmongered about how we should leave the EU before all the Romanians move in, there's a bitter racist vibe about their policies, not to mention that leaving the EU would cripple most of our economy. "They're taking our job's, leave britain british blah blah blah."

That was kind of my point. Lots of policies, but only when it suits them. Farage saying their previous election manifesto was all bullshit rather than taking ownership and saying it was wrong was the final straw for me.



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

They're all awful, but at least Nigel is entertaining. Not entertaining enough to be PM though.

So you can't tell me what policies they have that are "racist" you just believe the media with no questions of your own....

Well that's what the majority of Britain want, make Britain british again...your confusing racism with pride, I find it funny you say leaving the EU would cripple us, you know before the EU around the 1950's and 60's we had an amazing industry that shipped WW and people relied on us......That's the way I'd like it again and not us reling on the EU, have a bit more faith In your own country,

I find the rise of UKIP to be quite remarkable.

Love him or hate him, you have to respect him. Nigel Farage is the John Cena of British Politics, without the backing of Vince McMahon (Murdoch, in this case).

Respect a racist drunk?

I garuntee 90% of the people who vote UKIP dont actually know their policies regarding things like education, healthcare and public services.

They just vote for them because of "bloody immigrants" and because he enjoys a pint down the pub whilst on the job.

Pride is a mild form of racism which leads to extremism.

I bet the Nazis were proud of their country and what they were trying to build.

And EU is essential to the UK to rebuild a stable economy. I know the EU, and specifically the € are in bad shape, but the trade benefits which we recieve are pretty big. Without being an EU member most EU members would not be willing to trade with us because we would have to up the cost of goods to cover the loss of trade benefits.

This is why Scotland going independant was a terrible idea, they would have no sustainable trade links.
