If you want to be represented by thugs and bullies........
For a party which says it's against Europe, UKIP do a decent impression of the Polish government.
Oh dear, Lindyloo, not sure where you got such information from, but I'd like to see the evidence to back up what you say ! I suspect that you are mistaking UKIP for that dreadful group that love a bit of fighting and go under the name of English Defence League. Or perhaps you are mistaking UKIP for Britain first, who seem to have a similar policy to EDL. Maybe you are in fact mixing UKIP up with BNP who have had a reputation for 'slight' violence ! Yes I am aware that some UKIP members are ex-BNP, and that is why they are 'ex' - they became unhappy with how the BNP were behaving.
With regard to getting into parliament, at the last General Election UKIP obtained around 28% of the vote - they managed to get ONE MP into parliament, whereas the Conservatives obtained around 33% of the vote - and they managed to form a government !!!!!! That just demonstrates how the gerrymandered boundaries have great effect over voting ! If proportional representation (PR) had been adopted then ( a much fairer way of voting) it is believed that UKIP would have obtained 80 MPs !!!!!
So please
listen to what Nigel Farage has to say about things - he is the only politician that will answer straight-forward questions with an honest and straight-forward, un-flowered answer. Can you name me any other politician who does the same sort of thing........
In a UK TV political programme, on Thursday evenings after the BBC News, called Question Time and chaired by David Dimbleby, I have noticed that Nigel Farage is regularly asked to be on the 'panel'. Why is this ? Because he answers any questions, thrown at the panel, in a straight forward, honest and very lucid manner..........................
such a refreshing change !
