Poll: The official I voted/election results thread

Think that's covered by the unscrupulous employers clause...
There is nothing wrong with zero hours contracts as an idea, unfortunately some companies seem to have made it a business model.
Much like the so called "bedroom tax" (spare room subsidy) it's a fine idea but not necessarily put in practice properly. A few small changes (such as restricting it's use for long term employees/only allowing a certain percentage of employees on it in businesses over a certain size, and for the subsidy not reducing the subsidy if there are no suitable houses for people to move in to) would make all the difference.

What they don't mention is Labour had also pledged to large welfare cuts

Not quite.
He tendered his resignation > UKIP NEC voted overwhelmingly for him to continue as party leader > Withdrew resignation.
That's more like it, it was a con from day 1, he was never going to resign properly
Fantastic news, look at all you lefties go!!!
I'm not a lefty, I just hate the man
Plus I thought you were dead against politicians going back against their word?
He did resign, got rejected and convinced him to stay, nothing wrong with that, not sure why he should disappear because of the haters want him to when nearly everyone in UKIP wants him to stay.
I'm glad he's going to stick around if it's going to wind you up

Surely because the argument everyone who supports Ukip comes up with is that it's not a one man vanity experiment, which it is.
The real reason, you KNOW that Ukip would die without "him" at the helm
It does wind me up, least of all because of how every last Ukip supporter goes on and on and on about how he's not like the rest of them, he wouldn't lie and go back on his word, and here, plain as day he has!
If this was Milliband or Clegg you'd all be banging on about how it's just a big lie from the establishment parties and they never really meant to resign.
Nothing but a bunch of hypocritical idiots who can't see past their "dear leaders" ego experiment

Good.
As long as he's in charge nothing will ever come of UKIP

I don't think coming from nowhere to 3rd most popular party in the UK in only 5 years can be classed as nothing, and with Farage in charge UKIP will be in a good position come 2020

Rofl...
So the one promise he made that could be tested "If I don't win I'll resign" is going to be broken within what? 4 days. Hmmm... I wonder how may of his other 'promises' would have been out the window when it suited. Short and tall of it, he's a self serving, swivel eye'd, git identical to all the other political parties. No news there then.
Did I also read 'Boris' has a place in the new Conservative cabinet, you couldn't make it up.

Big Nige is back and hell cometh with him
There's no point in strong feelings either way, we all knew it was likely he wouldn't win the seat, would quit as leader to keep his word, and come straight back into the job.
The fact is nobody else in the party could fill his shoes (because of the lack of quality and his personification of the party, not his genius).

Perhaps he was hoping that his resignation would be a big story in the event of him losing, and would keep UKIP in the public eye, but now as Ed and Nick resigned on the same day, UKIP lost publicity to higher profile resignations, and decided to undo the decision?
