Could UKIP win the General Election ?

[brighton fella]

It's gibberish because it was the Tories that took us into the then EEC and the left that warned of the dangers at the time. The idea that socialism and a capitalist club like the EU are the same thing belongs to the same second-hand nonsense that right-wingers like to pump out without any attempt to construct a meaningful argument for their drivel.

if I remember rightly the EEC at the time was only supposed to be a trade market nothing more or at least the public were led to believe it was, how wrong could you get !!. couldn't give a t*ss either way who entered us into the EEC right of left it was the wrong thing to do, all I can say is thank f*ck Britain opted out of the euro.
all I was saying was that new labour thrive on being in the EU and love everything it stands for. & so do the tories to an extent but not as much.
as for capitalism if its served correctly I have got nothing against it, everybody deserves the opportunity to make a lot of money for themselves if they are prepared to put in the hard graft it acquires, good luck to em and if there business employs lots of people all the better.
as for socialism I see it as being not much different from communism, they hate to see anyone who has made a lot of money for himself apart from the hierarchy who set outs these bills.

Clacton was previously a Tory seat and the UKIP candidate was the former Tory MP. The same was true in Rochester. Therefore right -wing voters were simply voting for an even more right-wing version of what they had previously voted for.

Any working person who votes for a party that is as virulently anti-working class as UKIP is gullible. You are free to think otherwise.

A very selective answer indeed. I am well aware that the two sitting MP were already conservatives in situ, but you are still going down the "sweeping statement" route, when you say as you do. The voters had every chance to vote conservative, but chose not to. Doubtless, some of them voted for the person, rather than the policies, which will always happen, but en masse they changed their vote, which showed some sort of conscious decision-making and weighing-up of views, and is thus hardly the hallmark of the gullible, as you arrogantly put it. Also, which of course you choose to ignore, some 11.000 voters in the Rochdale area chose to vote UKIP. They were, presumably, largely traditional labour voters hitherto, and so your argument breaks down here, other than for you to suggest that they too were all gullible and incapable of thinking for themselves.
You might not like UKIP, which is your prerogative, but you would be most ill-advised to assume that otherwise decent folk who vote for them do so simply because they are gullible. Afterall, the same accusation could be levelled at you for voting as you do.

Thankfully, the sweeping statements and generalisations from people like Dandyman say more about them than UKIP voters. It makes them look rather prattish and arrogant.

Ukip please challenge ukip Surpporters what policies they have other than Immigration. Also ask them if they have any how will they pay for it. All parties have idiots and the bigger they get the more you have.

"what policies have UKIP got other than immigration" best not start slating UKIP if you haven't got a clue yourself what other policies they have.
as for how they will be paid for, foreign aid and the expense of being in the EU would be a good enough start.

The media are just trying to discredit UKIP at every opportunity. Soon as UKIP say something straight in the papers, if someone else said it from another party it wouldn't even be mentioned.
These stories have absolutely nothing to do with politics and now it's getting boring. It's a great distraction from the real problems in this country isn't it, the countries massive debt, increased immigration numbers under the Tory government, the massive payments we make to EU every day.

I could take to UKIP being on the back hand of any joke but when a snidey looking c*nt likes this decides to have a go I draw the line.
thing is I wouldn't of minded so much had it of been near on half funny but instead it was embarrassingly cringe worthy unfunny. as I say I switched off more or less directly I see his ugly looking mug.

Aw shame...so desperate to steer attention away from the lastest UKIP gaffe, you got excited, and posted in the wrong thread. Brilliant. Thanks for yet another laugh.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

UKIP won't win the election.


My reckoning is that they will finish with less seats than Labour, Conservatives, SNP, Democratic Unionists, and maybe even the Lib Dems (!).

Nah, two threads is better than one, gives people more chance to see what a complete liar you are........maybe search out a few more threads you have lied on.

Go for it. Im sure youre desperate enough to avoid discussing the latest UKIP tit of a candidate. Then you can have a go at that wife-shagger comedian.

I just put down how i feel, without expletives like you. Fortunately most will debate, some agree, some disagree....but YOU because you have a different opinion choose to insult, *****, and generally annoy on purpose with those who have a different point of view.........oh and you also LIE, even after the proof shows you up.

 

[daveinprague]

blah blah blah...again.. im sorry expletives trouble you. You must be desperately unhappy at football matches and in the general public. I feel for you.

Actually i am happy at games, i go to watch BHA, who do you support?
You don't know what i am like in the general public, same as i don't know how you behave, i can only go on your nasty expletive ridden posts from a different country on anything bar BHA, plus you must have the hind of a rhino to still post after your constant lies......enjoy your pigs in blankets.

i have the hind of a rhino, as ive explained to you, because I dont give a feck about what anybody on an anonymous platform thinks of me. My ego doesnt need massaging. Enjoy xmas.
