Stan Tamudo   10 #1885 Posted November 20, 2014 UKIP 1/100 to win. Who'd have thought it... Labour obliterated..  David Cameron obliterated, he makes Brown look half decent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Ellco   10 #1886 Posted November 20, 2014 David Cameron obliterated, he makes Brown look half decent.  I wish the Labour Party would come back to their true home and stop all this nonsense... They look weak and hypocritical..  They are now presenting an immigration policy that would have had them in uproar a few years ago. They just chase votes.  I wish they would have just said we think immigration is great for the country and we'll continue encouraging it.  I'd disagree with that sentiment but would respect them for standing by their principles.  If there was a poll tomorrow that showed 66% of the country wanted to come out of the EU they'd start to soften there approach to the usual dogmatic EU fluff.

pretty_big   10 #1891 Posted November 20, 2014 Is this the same media who constantly promote UKIP to the exclusion of many other parties who have the same or higher levels of democratic representation? Is this the same media who whenever there's a story about Europe or immigration that fall over themselves to get farage on to rant about his normal pet ideologies rather than anyone who actually knows anything about the subject in question. UKIP gets no where near the level of criticism and analysis the mainstream parties get from the mainstream media. People who think they're being attacked because the media are filming them saying one thing, only to then deny that they said it are deluding themselves or deliberately misrepresenting the situation.  UKIP are now a mainstream party and I reckon they might be around for an election or 2 although I can see another scandal appearing in the not too distant future. The problem is that the quality of Candidates isn't good enough (for me it is I can't see a problem with speaking your mind) they're not media savvy enough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

ECCOnoob   1,050 #1894 Posted November 21, 2014 UKIP are now a mainstream party and I reckon they might be around for an election or 2 although I can see another scandal appearing in the not too distant future. The problem is that the quality of Candidates isn't good enough (for me it is I can't see a problem with speaking your mind) they're not media savvy enough  If UKIP are a "mainstream party" then so are all these:  Democratic Unionist Scottish National Sinn Fein Plaid Cymru Social Democratic & Labour Party Alliance Green Respect  All of whom have MORE or the same number of MPs as UKIP. Funny how smug smiley Farage gets all the media attention but the others dont. Maybe he is simply more entertainment value.  The day they actually make a difference and bring in a credible policy that does not include the words "IMMIGRATION" or "EUROPE" I might actually start to take them seriously Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Mecky   10 #1896 Posted November 21, 2014 I saw the clown's speech it was hilarious ... If you believe in low taxes. How come nobody is allowed to ask questions like if you lower taxes how are you going to reduce the deficit and national debt?
