Congratulations are in order for UKIP who also came very close in the other vote of confidence. This is going to send massive shockwaves through Westminster and so it should, they need to wake up and face the facts.....nobody (or few) like the way they operate!

Edward Lever Posts: 734 Joined: 22nd Dec 2005 Location: UK | Posted at 10:30 on 12th October 2014 The success of UKIP will come as a shock to the chattering classes, who seem so out of touch with the broad base of British public opinion. It is amazing to witness the shrill protests of horror and outrage from the Guardianistas at UKIP' s success. |

There will be S - D all left to govern if red ED gets in again. |

I wonder if they will do the same for Labour, Tory and Libdems and all the other hangers on? And now that there is talk of Nigel Farage being invited to go head to head in a debate with the other erks, what do we get, every man jack (and woman) who shouts their mouth off now wants to join in and are even trheatening legal action if they are not allowed to. None of this would have happened had Nigel Farage not made the fantastic headway that he and UKIP has, so I say keep at em Nigel and very well done! |
George Woodward Posts: 73 Joined: 30th Dec 2012 Location: UK | Posted at 12:23 on 14th October 2014 Ron,my area is a strong Labour voting area.it always has been,and to quote a well used saying "put up a donkey under a Labour banner and it would get voted in"People put their mark in the box and never ask what they stand for,their parents voted Labour,their grand parents voted Labour and so on.I talk to people and the usual thing is "politics don't interest me,they are all the same,I'm not voting for anybody". I think I have said before,I should be voting Labour,being working class(retired) but after "going abroad and actively seeking people to come and work in Britain"to quote Peter Mandleson,my Labour voting days are long gone,and never,ever Conservative. Nigel is a person you can believe in,and I think he would do well to have more of the party to "share more of the limelight"for want of a better phrase,in last weeks elections I only ever saw Nigel in the news. I do hope none of the U.K.I.P. candidates make the news for the wrong reasons as has happened in the past. |
George Woodward Posts: 73 Joined: 30th Dec 2012 Location: UK | Posted at 14:24 on 14th October 2014 John,something to look forward to,like the debate today about barring Scotish MP's from voting on solely English matters,if the Labour party will lose 40 votes by barring Scottish MP's,why not stop 40 Conservatives from voting then it makes up for the lost 40 Labour votes,and it's on an even keel then. Maybe,that is too simple a solution. |
