Anyone knowledgeable about English politics agree with me that this 5/6 on UKIP getting over 6.5 seat in the GE is a huge price? http://www.oddschecker.com/politics/british-politics/next-uk-general-election/total-seats-ukip I thought they were in for at least 20 seats.
Also if they are genuinely in for about 7 seats (and that price is correct) why to bloody hell are they getting so much media coverage? Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party is going to get more than 7 seats and no one gives a flying **** about them!
I'd be surprised if they win one seat, this first past the post system forces voters to choose Tory or Lefty.
Lefty doesn't exist as an option anymore. It's Juche/UKIP Toryranny or New Imperiousness. Whoever wins it will be more of the same.
I voted Natural Law party once. This Fruitcake called William Treend called at my flat in Southsea and started banging on about Yogic flying so I promised to vote for him. None of the others paid me a visit so it was like, thanks for the effort you know.
The future ain't bright whether it be Tories or UKIP,they are both on a xenophobic ticket and both anti-EU which has convinced the populace in by-elections.What happens to brands that compete on a global scale ie Scotch,welsh lamb,scottish beef etc.Do you realise that going on your todd you'd be competing against Europe and who's to say they don't want you? only saying ps bar the Scotch
Labour are.The DUP are part of the planned coalition that Labour will try to form.UKIP are currently running in the 15-18% range.That isnt enough to win anything on the First Past the Post system.Carswell will get reelected while Reckless will live up to his name.Farage has picked himself a winnable seat so he will be puling in a cool quarter million a year in salaries and expense from Westminster and Brussels,crazy guy?
The Toon man is correct.Any referendum would be dominated by dire warnings from the CBI of the consequences and threatened pull outs by multi nationals who use the UK as a European base.Leaving would probably see unemployment double.There is a lot wrong with the EU but leaving is unimaginable.
