Panorama - the Farage Factor

[kevo]

Fail to believe anyone can watch this and still want to vote for UKIP. Far from being 'anti-establishment' and transparent, Farage is as corrupt as they come - and his attendance and voting record in Europe is appalling. How anyone can have faith in someone who never even bothers to turn up when he supposed to be representing his constituents is beyond me.

Is his voting record the first stage of UKIP pulling out of Europe?

I wish his dad had pulled out.

The party of anti-establishment, is full of people within the establishment. It's hilarious, they're no different. They also avoid any question about the net gain or loss from leaving the EU, they only give a gross figure. So much for 'common sense' it's rational, tapped up emotional politics. And we all know from history who's done that..

"Mr Normal", yeah right Nige. I wasn't fortunate/normal enough to go to private school and earn a fortune from working in the financial city.

It was your own fault for leading him on.

He is anti, the European Soviet, He flatly refuses to take part in minor European debates due to the expense to the tax payer. He attends the compulsory voting forums and takes the generous day payments to "repatriate" the money back to the UK.. This money is split between a national charity and ukip coffers, which is against EU regulations. The EU has yet to suspend him over this. Good on him!

It says more about you that you dont understand this situation.

He was democratically elected.
His electoral mandate (clearly put to his constitutents) was to work against the interests of institution he is elected too.
He will take the money from the institution to pay for his party's work in democratically acting against its interests.
He will not take an active part in its mechanics because he does not recognise its legitamacy over national interests (UK or otherwise).
His constituents understand all of this................so who is being misled?

Do you consider that Gerry Adams and Sinn Fein are equally not representing their constituents interests despite thier democratic mandate?

UKIP. My Daughter is 19 and this is her first General Election. She has worked all her short life and takes nothing from the government in hand outs. Life and money for her is tough and she is 100% for UKIP. Just saying.

Saw this when it was first on, it makes for interesting viewing. THE big problem with UKIP is that it is The Nigel Farage Show, If Reckless and Carswell hang on to their seats and Nige does not get Thanet he will be out though thank goodness.

Thick as pigshit.

You have failed as a parent.

And you have the cheek to accuse other people of being thick after these witty, intellectual and thought provoking posts

 

[nicko31]

Basically the more educated you are the less likely you are to vote UKIP and the more likely you are to support Palace.

Despite all the hype 2,3 or 4 seats is about it. We're got bigger things to worry about than UKIP

Farage is a Palace fan. Just saying.

Reading that actually makes me genuinely sad.

Yawn! Ancient history - programme broadcast last year. Can't be arsed to look it up, but I'm pretty certain the anti-UKIPers will have already creamed themselves at their witty put-downs back then.

Keep up!

Unfortunately your attitude seems representative of the main parties over the past twenty years. UKIP may or may not succeed in the election but the issues which motivate people to vote for a party like that will not simply go away at a whim. I would be more concerned that if UKIP totally fail, something worse, like the French national front, would replace them.

Sometimes the angels punish us by answering our prayers.
