He is way too clever, Paul Merton.

They could always bring forward the date for a 'in-out' referendum, where would that leave UKIP?

 

It would leave UKIP bang in the national spotlight campaigning for a 'yes' to leave.

 

And if the yes camp won it would probably leave UKIP in an extremely powerful position, perhaps becoming the dominant party on the right and leaving the Tories with a centrist rump of MPs. We should never forget the impact that the SDP had in splitting the vote on the left - something very similar is looming for the Tories.

 

A 'no' vote and they're toast. But what a risk that would be to take.

From what the pundits on TV are saying, the Tories are already toast, if UKIP take away some of their votes.

UKIP's policies might need more detail adding but what Nigel Farage speaks is good, down-to-earth, common sense. I'd like to see him have the chance to use his common-sense thinking to solve this country's problems. There is sod all to pick between the Labour, Liberal Democrat and Conservative parties. They just want to carry on in the same old mould and line their own pockets. They have become institutionalised and too used to living on £65,000 a year plus the same again in expenses. How can they relate to the normal working man? They live in a different world!

 

Common sense is the term people use to refer to those who share their own prejudices it has no objective meaning.

I don't believe that to be honest. The Tories are too smart as a party machine. They'll find a way to diminish the threat of UKIP. Likely to be the nastiest political attacks yet seen in the UK. The Tories will fight dirty then a bit more.

 

Let's be realistic. The Tories are the party of business. Most big businesses want us to stay in the EU, albeit many of them on improved terms for the UK, EU membership-lite if you like. Make no mistake that staying in the EU is core Tory policy because business are telling the Tories they want in, not out.

 

I think the forces that could get mobilised against UKIP are immense. Labour has been on the end of it more than once.

CRAP

 

Farage is just the same as everyone else. Posh boy who wants to play leading the country. He has no more feeling about real life than any of the others. Ex city boy millionaire who now wants to show his "down to earth" nonsense.

 

If they ever got in they will just as bad. The Daily Mail brigade comes to life and gets power over the government.... jesus, its enough to make you sudder.

 

Forget the immigration glossy headline take a look at some of their REAL policies.

 

Support GM foods, reverse decision on hunting ban, reverse decision on gay weddings, cuts to university places, make universities private so they can do and charge what they want, cuts to the minimum wage rate for apprentices, cuts to NMW, reduction of working age benefits rates, cuts to student grants/loans, flat tax rate of 31%, changes to VAT, reductions to health and safety legislations and rights to Claimants, reductions to safety inspection powers and reducing fines/forced closures down to "serious" incidents only, reductions in food safety and lower standards for caterers and restaurants and a proposed "postcode lottery" on prescription charges with decision power being made at 'local level'.

 

That's what you are voting for. Wonder how many of the recent local voters actually read up on this before putting the X in the box or, maybe just maybe they fell for the eye catching shiny headlines.

 

 

That means reading...you mental or summat?

[MadManMoon]

Come on lets make it happen, I would love to see what his reactions would be on the international stage.

 

Both him and Boris Johnson have more collective personality than the whole of Houses of Parliament put together.

 

Just remind us how many MPs UKIP have?

I'm sure that's what you've been told are UKIP policies, by equally ignorant and ill informed people.

You could have taken that as an opportunity to explain thier policies as you see them?

[PRESLEY]

Agree completely. At least Farage can speak clearly and correctly, unlike Milliband, who sounds like hes got a mouth full of gum.

 

At least he doesn't speak like he 's got a plum in his gob like the majority of the Conservative party.

I don't need to, UKIP policies are on the UKIP website.
