Mr Farage made the admission after being dogged by speculation that he was severely ill and would be unable to take part in negotiations in the event of a hung parliament.
He says he has been forced to speak out after rumours surfaced about his health following a series of campaign appearances in which critics said he looking tired and unwell.
Mr Farage told The Telegraph he has been in “horrible” pain following the recurrence of a serious spinal injury in recent weeks.
The Ukip leader said he is receiving hospital treatment twice a week and has been prescribed strong sleeping pills to help him cope during the election campaign.
In addressing his health, Mr Farage denied he had told “untruths” to voters despite initially denying he was unwell.
“There were a lot of rumours at the start of this campaign that I was unwell which I denied," he said.

• Nigel Farage: I pray to God 'sometimes'
“I was not unwell – I have not had heart palpitations - but I was getting increasingly terrible pain in my shoulder, my back and so I was suffering from neuralgic pain.

 

UKIP's colours might as well be the same as Tory blue, Farage has revealed he'd take his party into a coalition with the Cons.
Any socialist minded people thinking of voting for UKIP because of their immigration policy should realise they could be voting for a Conservative government.

Vote Labour.

 

Traditional Conservative voters voting for UKIP is good news.

 

Many people of all political persuasions appear to agree with UKIP on immigration.

You appear to be a traditional conservative voter Dribs.

 

.Never a conservative supporter: would not like to see another conservative government.

 

They'll win no more than 4 seats, they're a ****ing irrelevance in reality

 

They are capable of splitting conservative votes. That worries Tories.

 

Working class people voting Tory is like gazelles voting for the Lion party

 

UKIP have said they would work with either the Tories or labour. Get your facts right if your going to randomly abuse the party..

They've also said they wouldn't enter a formal coalition but would enter a confidence and supply agreement in return for an EU referendum.

So basically your entire comment is incorrect

 

They could well take over four million votes. Thinking the views of over four million people who actually bother to vote is an irrelevance is the kind of attitude that ensures the ****s in the labour and Tory parties continue to govern.

Also if one of the parties narrowly misses out on a majority it could well be that a party with only a handful of seats is involved in the next government.

 

Wind your neck in soft lad



Farage: Tory-UKIP Alliance Is 'Best Option'

http://news.sky.com/story/1471525/farage-tory-ukip-alliance-is-best-option

 

I admit, totally, that I do not know a lot about UKIP but the general impression you get from the UK media is they are a bad sort. There are far more negative articles about UKIP than any other of the main 4 parties.

The media don't touch the truth, that Tory and Labour have made **** of the country in many ways. Widened the inequality gap too.

 

Soft lad? That must be some northern insult I don't understand, sorry.

As for posting a link in big letters, that doesn't make you correct. Farage has said on several occasions he would work with Labour or the Tories. The most recent example was the last televised debate in which he made it clear UKIP would work with either party to achieve it's main aims.

 

Many elements of the media have decided to attack UKIP at every opportunity and it isn't impartial or balanced in the slightest.

For some reason labour and the Tories get a free pass to repeatedly have members caught out for all sorts of outrageous things without judging the party or followers on the comments or actions, yet with UKIP every comment by anyone linked with the party is dissected and presented as the agreed view of the party and all it's supporters.

 

The story in the link was from last night and well after the last debate, he said he was mistaken to have said UKIP would consider an alliance with Labour because of Milliband's continued stance on the EU.

Now unless he lied during the interview with Sky and he told you personally this morning that hes changed his mind you're completely wrong and completely behind with your info.

 

While I obviously cannot comment on UKIP becaue of my complete lack of knowledge, I can on Tory and Labour and their destructive policies by assessing the outcomes of said polices concerning some areas, like vast sums spent on war for example.

So your analysis of the UK media is a fair one, UKIP have never done such damage to Britain and the media attack them most

 

He has said,repeatedly, for the years leading up to this election, that UKIP would work with either labour or the Tories to achieve there goals. He made the point again on the televised debates that if labour were able to give the people the choice on Europe that UKIP could work with labour. This isn't the stance of labour, labour don't want to give the people there say and therefor it would be difficult for UKIP to make a deal with labour unless Labour changed there stance on a referendum and therefor a deal with the Tories would be more easily workable. I don't get what your finding difficult to understand here? Your article just supports what I'm saying, did you even read it before you posted it?

UKIP would happily work with either Labour or the Tories provided a referendum on the EU is promised.

 

P.s. You still haven't explained the whole "soft lad" thing to me

 

UKIP has been labelled as a racist party.Nigel Farage utterances has not been helpful also.

 

Ffs, he now knows Milliband won't budge on remaining in the EU, so it matters not what he thought for years or what he said in the leaders debate, yesterday he stated he would only consider an alliance with the Tories, its as plain as day.

"
He told Sky News: "What I got wrong is I thought that Miliband would promise a referendum, albeit reluctantly. He's chosen not to do so,

"So on that basis, from the UKIP perspective, we would rather see David Cameron as the biggest party, though we don't trust him at all to hold the referendum on free and fair terms.

"But David Cameron as the biggest party with enough UKIP MPs to hold his feet to the fire is for us the best option."

That's enough for me to see where his and his party see their political future after the election, but knock yourself out with what ever you think is the case mate.
