We really aren't all voting UKIP.

 

Roughly 85% of us have no intention of voting UKIP.

 

Nigel Farage needs to include compulsory adult numeracy lessons as a manifesto pledge."

No. I'm quoting figures that you know nothing about.

 

There lies the difference.

 

85% of the UK electorate have no intention of voting UKIP at the next election.

Can any of you Ukippers tell me why you hate wind farms?

Doesn't really reflect the claims of certain UKIP posters that support for Labour has collapsed does it...

 

Well there may be more Tories coming over but its changing... there is another dynamic... people who never vote are coming to UKIP.

 

Initially, Ukip was a far greater threat to the Tories – but since early last year, for every nine votes it has taken from the Conservatives it has taken six from Labour

Hey Sibon

 

an extract from the above link

 

"Seldom have the future contours of British politics looked less certain. Nobody can be sure whether the SNP and Ukip will produce electoral earthquakes, or whether this autumn’s Scottish referendum and Ukip by-election triumph(s) will prove to be the twin peaks of insurgency, after which things return to normal.

 

Which will happen? Ask me again next year – on May 8.

 

 

Seems its wrong cos Sibon sees the future

I'm not seeing the future, XT. I'm seeing the present.

 

Check out my posts. They are all in the present tense.

See?

Are you sure?

Or it doesnt reflect reality

 

Are you saying that many UKIP claims don't reflect reality?

 

After all sometimes the truth is hard to swallow

 

Well that is very true.

 

Roughly 85% of us have no intention of voting UKIP.

 

I reckon that figure is a bit low. With YouGov saying only 17% percent are intending to vote UKIP, we then have to discount the about 40% who won't vote for anyone. Those figures would mean at least 90% of people have no intention of voting UKIP.

 

Remember "party for the people"

You realise that's a poll about who would make the better prime minister.

 

I imagine a good number of Labour supporters would be quite happy to agree that Ed won't make a good PM.

 

It says nothing about voting intentions, where UKIP is still getting half the support of Labour.

I wouldn't trust the Excess, if I were you.

 

This is the latest You Gov voting intentions poll. It doesn't match with the claims in the article. It does match lots of other polling evidence.

 

Re-read your link, see whether you can spot the deception.

This bit?

 

Labour MP Austin Mitchell said: "The leader and his aides are running around in small circles panicking about Twitter. "It has been blown out of all proportion. Why did Ed Miliband need to put it out that he was extremely angry?

 

"He should have ignored it all and it would have blown away." Some Shadow Ministers lamented that Mr Miliband had made the party a laughing stock after he was manoeuvred in an interview into saying that when he saw a house with a white van and flags that he felt "respect" for the occupants.

 

One said simply "Oh dear" while another insisted: "If we were stronger we could have seen this out." One ally moaned: "We have become a magnet for bad luck and bad timing." :hihi:

<snip: A load of irrelevant waffle>

 

No. The deliberate obfuscation by the journo.

 

Designed to mislead those who exhibit a lack of attention to detail.

 

Looks like it worked. Confirmation bias is a powerful thing.
