Oi. Stop that. It's alright for you, over there. We have to put up with his fat, ugly face on every news bulletin over here.
We don't really want to see any more of him, even if it is funny!!

Australia won't allow you in unless you have a trade or a profession that will be beneficial to the country. We just let them all in. And don't start the crap that they do the jobs we won't. Plenty of farm workers laid off here because unscrupulous land owners pay the Eastern Europeans less than the minimum wage.

I just wonder what you think UKIP will do about it? They will never have enough power to change things, so really it's just a protest vote, which means it's a wasted vote.

You don't think they'll have an effect on the policies (or what they pretend are their policies) of both Labour and Tories. ?

Labour, no I don't think so. The Tories? I think just the threat of them has already changed their attitude. You don't necessarily have to vote for UKIP for them to get an effect.
Looking at one issue is a dangerous route to go down. Don't throw out the Baby with the bath water.

Surely the point of democracy is that each constituency elects the best candidate rather than the colour which has the best chance of success?

I'm not a fan of UKIP but as Skeggy says, it might be different if I lived there. One thing about UKIP is that they have a clear message. What are Labour all about? They've moved away from socialism and are now justr another centre-right disaster capitalism party.

Ukip have one message, but they don't have a clear message other than out of Europe, even Farage has admitted he hadnt looked at the website ( if he doesn't know the answer he pleads ignorance, which to be fair for an ignorant man is very easy) which was a hotch potch of all sorts of 'bits and bobs'.
They are a single issue protest group, not a serious political party.

And you probably already know that most constituents aren't educated/intelligent enough to make an informed decision. As Fear says, UKIP are a one issue party, preying on the fears (sorry J) of the voters.
They don't even turn up to the European Parliament, yet not one has foregone their salary or pension plan.

Farage has a point about the media not wanting to engage in the real issues. The host trys very hard to twist everything against Farage and take the conversation away from UKIP's policies.
Farage doesn't deal with this very well though.
I think most people would find it strange if they got on a train and everyone around them was speaking foreign languages.
He should have played up the point about his kids speaking German and his German speaking wife to show how he isn't racist and come in with stats on the schools in the East End.
He's like a cheap Tony Blair impersonator.
