a bit more than jo swinson, at least hes actually run something and had a job in REAL LIFE outside politics

 

[Westdene Seagull]

How come a nothing party like UKIP get a seat on Question Time then? I don't recall the communists or BNP being allowed a seat.

Because they have an MP and a number of MEPs possibly - democracy at work I think you'll find

I'd happily eat a plate of Casu Marzu with Caroline, if she'd give me a flash of her minky.

It would ruin the moment a bit with a stomach churning full of rotten goats milk and maggots, but I can see where you are coming from.

whats the matter with some of you? , why are you so desperate to establish your hip trendy right- on credentials , what the f*** is wrong with being white and middle aged ? i can just imagine your hysterical reaction if i made a reverse comment about black people.

They are never going to be a national credible party if they only attract a certain calibre of person, in this case a very restricted specific type.

They be better to call themselves the Middle (Southern) England Independence Party

and in parallel the reverse would be true. An all black party in the UK would poll few votes outside a few inner city areas and again, would not be representative of their local area let alone nationally.

UKIP POLICIES IN BRIEF
Wednesday, 09 April 2008

UKIP will leave the political EU and trade globally and freely. We will re-embrace today’s fast-growing Commonwealth and we will encourage UK manufacturing so that we make things again.

We will freeze immigration for five years, speed up deportation of up to a million illegal immigrants by tripling the numbers engaged in deportations, and have ‘no home no visa’ work permits to ease the housing crisis.

We will have a grammar school in every town. We will restore standards of education and improve skills training. Student grants will replace student loans.

We will radically reform the working of the NHS with an Insurance Fund, whilst upholding the ‘free at the point of care’ principles. We will bring back matrons and have locally run, clean hospitals.

We will give people the vote on policing priorities, go back to proper beat policing and scrap the Human Rights Act. We will have sentences that mean what they say.

We will take 4.5 million people out of tax with a simple Flat Tax (with National Insurance) starting at £10,000. We will scrap Inheritance Tax, not just reform it and cut corporation taxes.

We will say No to green taxes and wind farms. To avert a major energy crisis, we will go for new nuclear power plants on the same existing site facilities and for clean coal. We will reduce pollution and encourage recycling.

We will make welfare simpler and fairer, introduce ‘workfare’ to get people back to work, and a new citizens pension and private pensions scheme insurance.

We will support our armed forces with more spending on equipment, military homes and medical care. We will save our threatened warships and add 25,000 more troops.

We will be fair to England, with an English Parliament of English MPs at Westminster. We will replace assembly members like MSPs with MPs. And we will promote referenda at local and national levels.

We will make customer satisfaction number one for rail firms – not cost cutting and will look seriously at reopening some rail lines that Beeching closed.

We will make foreign lorries pay for British roads with a ‘Britdisc’ – and we will stop persecuting motorists.

Last, but never least, we will bring in fair prices and fair competition for our suffering farmers, and restore traditional British fishing and territorial waters.

 

[London Calling]

I don't get how this will work?

"We will be fair to England, with an English Parliament of English MPs at Westminster. We will replace assembly members like MSPs with MPs. And we will promote referenda at local and national levels."

Bypass the point that they have won votes from people why don't you. Enough to give them seats in Europe - so they speak for some of the electorate and therefore deserve a seat at QT ( albiet occasionally to reflect their minority standing ). I just don't get the problem !!!!!

Or is it that you don't like their policies ( most of which seem fairly reasonable based on what Easy 10 has posted ) and so you don't think they should be heard ? Very democratic !

I would expect them to gain more support given the current Governments stance on the Lisbon Treaty and the EUs complete lack of democratic accountability.

mildly amusing, you know what i meant ! i just get irritated by the amount of hypocrisy about racial issues on this site.

 

[mr sheen]

All the policies seem reasonable because they have no need for any basis in possibility.

There is nothing wrong in stating the obvious, that all their representatives except one, are all middle aged, well to be specific, aged 50 and over, white males.
