I don't know if you're racist or not but you are probably a bit thick.

In answer to the original question , Could UKIP win the general election i would say yes they could , if stuffy true blue tory voters like my mum can change a habit of a lifetime by voting for UKIP in the locals then whos to say she will not be the tip of a iceberg , plus that nice Mr Farage sent me a christmas card today so its a yes from me .

No he's not, you are.
Whatever people think of UKIP, the lurch to the right by both the Tories and Labour regarding immigration, only goes to show the significant level of influence UKIP are having on British politics.
And even the Labour Party have stated that it's not racist to have concerns over immigration.
Yep, and Labour even admitted they had got it wrong on the amount of immigration, yet still people slate UKIP for stating they want to control immigration.

I agree with controlled immigration. I disagree UKIP are the party with enough clout or intelligence to pull that off. Get your arguments right before you type.
What "arguments". Labour admitted they got it wrong on immigration, UKIP have stated they would control it. YOU think that UKIP will not have the clout or intelligence...so where is the argument.....you disagree, your choice and OPINION.

But UKIP have made both the major parties change their policies towards immigration.
Is that enough clout for you.

Ha! Yeah, they'll go ahead and change lifetime policies for a no mark party like UKIP. Think on lad, think on.

I have no problem with UKIP making the two major parties rethink their policies on immigration, nor on bringing EU membership to the fore in voter's minds.
What I do have a problem with is the reluctance of UKIP to discuss their other policies and the oft immediate retraction when one of their representatives do speak out.
If any of the other parties, or more importantly their candidates, would only discuss those two policies then there is no way I'd vote for them! That's why I can't understand those that say they will cast their votes for UKIP.

Both labour and the Tories HAVE both changed their policies as a result of ukip, most noticeably regarding child benefit, unemployment benefit and housing benefit for ey migrants so not sure what your point is?

Both parties have changed because of the relentless media circus around Farage.
Really, you surely jest. Could it be that they realise that votes and opinions of the people they represent seem to be favoring the policies (or some of them) of Ukip.
Could it be that they have seen how well Ukip did in the Euros and that (even though less than a year ago many on here said Ukip would not win any seats) they have won the last two local elections. Could it be that UKIP in the polls have grabbed a far bigger percentage lately, and climbing.....or is it like you state the "relentless media circus" around a leader that is vilified and slated in the press and is made to look like a clown.
