UKIP a close second

[David Johnson]

Well one positive thing to emerge from this by election is that it suggests the Tories have no chance of winning the next election.

They couldn't get an overall majority at the last election even though the country was gripped in the worst recession since the Thirties and Gordon Brown was one of the most unpopular Prime Ministers in recent history.

It is even more unlikely then that the Tories will win the next election given that after almost 3 years in power, there has been no growth, the deficit is rising again, the debt is rising despite hundreds of thousands of public sector workers thrown out of their jobs and the UK has lost the triple A rating which was the most important measure of success set by Osborne in 2010. To add to that, Cameron's attempt to move right on Europe to counter UKIP has totally failed based on the Eastleigh vote.

Having said that UKIP doing well is just Lib Dems mark 2. With the Lib Dems it was a bunch of bozos who had never been in power rambling on about the "New Politics" and then shafting their voters when they sniffed power. So now it is another bunch of bozos in the shape of UKIP getting the protest vote simply because they are not the Tories and Labour and their main message that it is all Jonny Foreigner's fault either in the shape of the EU parliament or immigrants, appeals to those who have difficulty rubbing two brain cells together.

What these new UKIP supporters will find is that many of them are turkeys voting for XMAS given UKIP's plans to privatise the NHS, get rid of the 40% and 50% tax rates and to have a general "libertarian" approach to public sector pensions etc. i.e. they are hugely overpaid.

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

????????????????? Very strange reply.

I think that's correct.

Lots of people like the Conservative idea, but not what it's done to their lives after a couple of year of Cameron in No.10. so they voted for the "other" conservative party instead.

Labour will get back in, come 2015 (or sooner), and the Tories will rebuild their support, while in opposition.

UKIP will go back to being an also ran.

I am looking forward to the next GE David i must say!!!

Can't wait to see what Labour have got in store for us. To sort out the mess the Tories got us in too. Perhaps spending money like there is no tomorrow will help?.

Oh wait.............

Damn you CB!! You've unearthed Labour's secret financial plan, the same one they've had since they were formed. By working class people who were interested in working folk, not Harvard and Oxbridge snobs keen to line their own pockets......as soon as they get in they'll on their knees blowing off their old chums at Goldman Sachs begging for another trillion.

I haven't got time to respond to your cutting, incisive political analysis but I have asked a mate, Candice-Marie who will be making an appearance on "The Only Way is Cumbria" later in the year to comment. Over to you Candice-Marie.

Cunty Bollocks (what a juvenile name) you seem so shallow "Perhaps spending money like there is no tomorrow will help?." You have obviously just read this in a tabloid newspaper and came up with the slogan as if it is your own idea. My advice to you Mr Bollocks is to try and think for yourself.

As to Arginald, what is with the homoerotic fantasies? Are you the only gay in Cumbria or something? Rather than spending your evenings dreaming about getting fucked by Nigel Farage in a tweed jacket you might stop coming out with adolescent twaddle like "You've unearthed Labour's secret financial plan, the same one they've had since they were formed. By working class people who were interested in working folk, not Harvard and Oxbridge snobs keen to line their own pockets"

Don't you realise Clem Attlee, Labour Prime Minister during the great reforming post war government was educated at a prep school and Oxbridge? Dear, oh dear. And don't forget he was responsible for all the "homes fit for heroes that got built" And let's face it Argie, without the whole concept of social housing you would be stacking shelves in Poundland in return for your benefits.

Thanks Candice Marie, enjoy your Brazilian and a couple of cocktails. If these two lads start talking shite again I will give you a shout.

Cheers
