Labour are a threat to Landlords in Scotland

Sounds like another good reason to vote Labour north of the border to me, especially if you're young and struggling to get on the housing ladder.

In conclusion, 39% of Scottish landlords are spewing hot air. People never make good on these threats. They're as likely to sell off their portfolios as Miss Hopkins is to leave the country. Neither, sadly, is going to happen.

What a despicable man Blay is. Wake up Ukippers to the vile and simplistic under-current in the party you embarrass yourselves by supporting.
 
So when politicians talk about getting out and talking to people what they actually mean is getting out and talking to party activists for the most part. Which seems pointless preaching to the converted.

Anyway here we are almost at voting day and I have only received a pamphlet from the Greens, UKIP and the SNP. No one has canvassed my door and the sitting MP a Labour politician has not felt the need to contact me in anyway which is odd as I am on her data base. But there you go. I live in a flat on a council estate so basically a pleb.

This Blay is clearly a maniac and has been suspended, that's what you should expect.

The Labour and conservative party have had members convicted of pedophilia, does this mean everyone else in the party is guilty? of course not.

The issue is not about what this lunatic said, it''s about how the party reacts to it.

Fear, jealousy, low self-esteem. Plenty of people feel bad about themselves or their own lot in life, and UKIP plays to those emotions - they're like the diet club / fitness video of politics.

The two main parties don't offer much hope or positivity to these people, so UKIP fill a gap with their negative, destructive insularity.

The problem is, instead of forcing the main parties to solve the problems, it's just resulting in them shifting to the right to defend votes.

UKIP is the only party that does not permit former BNP members from joining the party.

When did they do this? It was only last year that Farage had to apologize to the public because UKIP fielded candidates in local elections who were BNP members, had criminal records or as Nigel said candidates that he would "rather not have had" because Ukip lacked the means to fully vet them.

Just found out the missus is voting UKIP. Awkward. She was commenting on how annoyed she is that the survivors of the med migrant disasters are getting distributed around Europe. They shouldn't have saved them, apparently. Very awkward evening.

They did this about 4 years ago, but inevitably some people will lie on their application.

UKIP are not alone here, e.g Trevor Maxfield, he is a former BNP councilor that defected to Labour.

Oh come off it. Ukip has a regressive agenda and wishes to roll back years of progress. The conservatives do not have a paedophile agenda, Ukip have a thinly veiled racist one.

Just look at their biggest proponents on here, Deuse is an ex BNP voter and Robgmun seemingly has a list of cast iron traits he associates with different races of Asian women.

The central UKIP policies are towards independence from the EU. It is the only party that advocates this. Why is such a view considered 'racist' ?

Sharp population increases over short time spans, inevitably impact upon social infrastructure. Why is advocating control over immigration 'racist'?

If you look at the present immigration it discriminates against non EU citizens, a points based system would treat everyone equally.

Indeed.

I've noticed a trend of people who have made historic reactionary sexist, racist or homophobic statements on here & vocal support for UKIP.

I don't believe this is a coincidence.

Yeah I get that, I just don't get why a winning government doesn't take over the whole country with it's politicians. It baffles me what control another parties politician has in your area if he can be outvoted by the dominant party politicians votes on anything. He might as well just do nothing, or the same as the running governments politician (who lost) was going to do anyway.

It might not be easy to separate the two issues but your MP represents you both at a local and a national level. Locally might be simply listening to your issues at a constituency surgery or writing letters on your behalf about issues that affect you for another MP/government department to respond to, alternatively they might be leading a campaign to keep a school open, generate more funding for a local priority or whatever. Nationally it's about doing the things that they think will make for a better country (this may or may not coincide with what you believe) and also presenting their constituency interests in the best possible light.

You can have an MP who is great for your constituency locally but terrible nationally, terrible locally but great nationally or anywhere in between. Part of the problem though from a certain point of view is that you are voting for a person to cover both dimensions and you're not voting for a party or indeed a PM directly - you're voting for a person who has (usually) affiliated themselves with a party and that party is who decides who will be the PM. Admittedly I'm rather simplifying things and there are subtleties involved but maybe that will help slightly.
 
The policies are in my view damaging, regressive and overly simplistic. They are designed to appeal to the disenfranchised and negative, many of woman are racist/nationalistic. The party appears supported by and run by thickos and many thickos are racists.
