UKIP a close second

[Arginald Valleywater]

A warning to Cameron and Millibland....UKIP are for real.

[RoddersUK]

Sure are.

If UKIP, the Tories, and BNP all join up (they have a lot in common) they might win the next election.

UKIP are the new Lib Dems. Years ago people who were kind of Tory in their thinking, but didn't like the Tories any more, voted Lib Dem. Now, people fed up with the Tories and/or Lib Dems vote UKIP. They are the fall-back party, the one you go to when disgruntled with the others.

Regarding UKIP's specific policies and whether them getting any MP's would make a difference on the Europe issue, them gaining ground is largely pointless. Even if UKIP had 10 Westminster MP's our policy on Europe wouldn't change.

UKIP are for real? They wont win one seat at the next election. They are a meaningless bunch of closet racists and bigots who are about as relevent as the SWP,without the good intentions.They are made up of BNP types in suits,without a brain cless between any of them. If you think this bunch of weirdo's are a serious political force at a genreal election you are stark raving mad.

In the 2009 election to the European Parliament, UKIP obtained 13 seats with 16.5% of the vote.

In 2011 the party won 9 out of the 17 seats for Ramsey Town Council in Huntingdon, Cambridge.

The Eastleigh By-Election was the 4th time the UKIP has finished 2nd in a House of Commons seat.

Twaddle.

The BNP hate the Tories & UKIP.

For example: the BNP do not want to privatise the NHS - whereas the Tories & UKIP do.

The BNP is opposed to using our military forces as cannon-fodder for the Americans - whereas the Tories & UKIP supports the war in Afghanistan.

It's the default position of the Marxist cabal - who control this country - to accuse the BNP of being "racist" - when in fact it is the Marxist's who are racist.

The Marxist's have been allowed to control the language used and therefore they control the argument. This is very sinister.

Oh what a wag you are. Very funny. Keep it coming.

Along with the jokes, maybe you could give us your interpretation of the following clause from the BNP constitution.

"It is therefore committed to stemming and reversing the tide of non-white immigration and to restoring, by legal changes, negotiation and consent, the overwhelmingly white makeup of the British population that existed in Britain prior to 1948."

The Tories are catching up with Labour. The Tories have not won a general election for 21 years (1992), the Labour party didn't win one for 23 years (1974-1997). By the next election, in 2015, they will be neck-and-neck in terms of their failures to win outright. We all thought Labour were a joke for not winning for so long in the 80's and 90's, Dave C half-won and formed the coalition with Nick and his crew, but their last outright win was all those years ago in 1992. Both parties are largely failures if you look at these statistics.

Funnily enough 2 of my long standing Labour voting friends are going to vote UKIP next time as they are scared of how much worse we will be when Mrs Balls ousts Millibland and hubby takes over number 11. All new parties have to start somewhere.
