I don't like UKIP i believe they would lead this nation to disaster, but despite this prospect something good has come out of it all. The working man has got a voice again! For years we have been the butt of jokes, we are lazy, we are stupid, we have not moved with the times, we are all middle class now and other such bollocks, you could at one time crack jokes about the various races that is thankfully now largely unacceptable but at the same time it was almost anything goes if you were white and nominally working class. UKIP has frightened the establishment because it has set itself out to appeal to the forgotten working class, good isn't it? The problem is Lab/Con have probably no answers to this as yet, I suspect it would take Farage, Carswell and Reckless to conduct a gang bang in a nursery school to reverse loss of votes to the main parties. |

Can I forward an hypothesis ....... The Business Giants have been promoting their self interests by establishing and funding the Conservative party, and it worked well for them. Until Thatcher and then it seemed that throwing more and more money at the Conservatives, no matter that they also had a good grip on the propaganda network, was not going to be enough to keep them in government - the Nasty Party was beyond saving. So they did the smart thing. They bought the opposition instead, and at a damn less spend than the Tories were receiving. |

I do love your conspiracy theories Affa. You should adopt my pseudonym; Sinic suits you far better than Affa(ble).

That IMO is the problem with Labour. On BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, Graham Stringer, MP for Blackley and Broughton, said Mr Miliband was “not an asset”. “If you go on the doorstep, Ed isn’t an asset to us. I don’t think that is even a controversial thing to say, rather sadly. They [voters] think he doesn’t understand the problems they are suffering”. In the by-election, Mr Stringer said, Labour focused on the NHS but voters were talking about immigration. “You can’t hope to win elections if you don’t talk about what the people are talking about,” he warned. “We have a problem about communications and credibility,” said Mr Stringer. “People have to believe what we say, at the moment, they simply don’t.” As miliband is often quoting, " He just doesn't get it". David Blunkett got it right, he said one is the idea of having a conversation with people rather than performing in front of them in a kind of parade. |

As someone who has looked for protest votes on many of the matters that have always been important to ordinary people I welcome the opportunity to not put my X next to the NF or BNP. Labour are dead in the water so don't concern yourselves re the ludicrous claims that a vote for UKIP is a vote for labour. |
