Poll: General election voting intentions poll

[D.P.]

So it's fine for a Nazi to be a Labour Councillor but when it's UKIP everyone just loses there minds!!!

Where did I say it is fine for a Nazi to be a Labour Councillor?

And if i started on the Tory party i'd be here until mid-night!

You are continuing to make yourself look like a fool by posting individual examples as if anyone is even disagreeing with them.



Here is some serious advice. Buy a dictionary. When someone uses words you don't understand like "anecdote" then you can look up the word and form an appropriate opinion based o knowledge, not ignorance.

If only you knew how ridiculousness you are making yourself appear by continuing to post anecdotal evidence.

So a perma then?.

Don't tempt me!

 

[The Geezer]

How about letting him back when UKIP win the 15 seats he's fixated on

The sad part is he would be in the brains trust of that party, who could possibly represent 20+% of the electorate, most of whom seem to be motivated by vague themes and musings they've picked up on from shoddy newspaper headlines.

Why no <3 for the DUP? If I were an Ulsterman I'd vote for them I think.

It's hard supporting a minority party - you need to roll with the punches and be prepared for all the others to come out gunning. To give him credit, Farage deals with it quite well. I deal with it being a Green supporter/Marxist.

Robgmun needs to learn to do the same or else "the lady doth protest to much" comes to mind.

Torries monstering this poll

 

[Mr Jack]

I just got a UKIP flyer through my door. Apparently they're going to abolish council tax, cut taxation, save the NHS, stamp out poverty, raise pensions and pay for better education.

I'm sure that all adds up!

 

[Mr Jack]

Cameron is getting a proper ****ging from all sides for his weak attempt to wriggle out of defending his policies in debate.

He won't care though, he knows that only people interested in politics will care about stories like that. What he really fears is the general public seeing him for what he is - a sneering school bully with a track record of failure.

Its funny how the most bigoted posters on this forum haven't lived abroad or seen the value in doing so. So their opinions are greatly diminished.
None of the parties immigration policies are racist.

There is an underlying point to what he says.

Rightly or wrongly, the people who usually (in my experience) have the most "open" ideas are usually affluent middle/upper class people who are usually far removed from the reality of the situation.

"Travelling" by itself doesn't do squat. Lots of people at school and University "travelled". Doesn't mean anything by itself.


People have a right to be worried about their countries sovereignty without the fear of being called racist/bigoted/buzz words.

Just because you have a particular ideology, doesn't make it the right one.


I'm not gunning for UKIP in the slightest (thankfully I've left the cesspit that is the UK), but I'm quite intrigued at the polarising views they've drawn out of people.

Where did you move to?

 

[sports_brah]

Just across the water

Anglesey ?

I don't say that UKIP are racist because they're anti-EU or even because they're anti-immigration - I believe it's possible to be both without being racist - I say they're racist because their representatives, including their leader, say racist things and stand up for other people saying racist things.

This is key.

Even the founder of UKIP who was strongly anti-EU thinks the party has been hijacked by racists & bigots.

I genuinely feel sorry for people who are anti-EU as they are either forced into voting for a laughable party full of idiots & bigots or have to vote for a party which doesn't represent them. It's the same issue for fiscal conservatives are being forced to vote for a party who are also socially conservative on many matters.

It's similar to left-libertarians (a stance closer to mine) have no party which really represents them realistically. While I do support some of the Green parties policies there are many I don't - neither do I have any trust they have the competence to actually achieve many of the goals they laid out. Sadly the party has too many alternative medicine anti-science hippies in it for my personal taste.

What I'd love would be a socially liberal, economically left-wing (strong welfare state) political entity which has a key focus on evidence backed policy, very low on the authoritarian scale with scientific management & long term sustainability as a cornerstone.

I think that depends on how the broadcaster's react. If they really do empty chair him, I think it could really hurt. Of course, I don't think we should over-estimate how significant a role the debates, or any part of the election campaign proper, will actually have but with the election looking like being another extremely closely balanced affair even a few tenths of a percentage point could shift the balance in Labour's favour and let them form the "winning" coalition or, conversely, let Cameron and Clegg form Coalition 2.0 so I think it could end up being an important factor.
