    I think that Nigel is having a positive effect on UK politics at the moment.

    The country is in a mess because of Lib/Lab/Con selling British citizens down the river.

    The UKIP party still needs to get itself together, best of luck to them.

    I have not voted since Maggie lost control of her party a long time ago!

    Are you abstaining Dave? You are not entirely sure? Second thoughts?

    Looks like he is going stand for election in Folkestone. He might win it too. I can imagine him as a vociferous filibustering back bencher with a lone seat. On the other hand, if UKIP were to gain power, can we imagine the nature of the cabinet?

    Ahh, the pint swilling, cigar smoking man of the people - Our Nige. But he doesn't make any mention of his privileged background, how he employs his wife at the taxpayers expense, or any policies really.

    Why would I vote for a cowboy like Nige?

    Well....it looks like there are signs of UKIP voters staying at home... :D. Loud in volume but low in numbers. :D

    Don't under estimate that maverick. He may just turn up with some unwelcome surprises

    Well, the Tories and Labour have done absolutely nada regarding immigration, at the end of the day someone will have to, Hobson's Choice if we don't want our little island to sink under the weight of the unwanted and in some cases the unwashed.

    Not entirely true! Look at the record: under the last Labour government (1997-2010), immigration from outside Europe was almost completely unfettered and it was dead easy to obtain settlement visas in those days. I know, I got one. Furthermore, Labour did not follow other European countries by restricting the migration from those eastern European countries that became members of the EU in 2004. Labour's rationale was that if Britain, under a Labour government, made it easy for migrants to come and settle, they'd all vote Labour as a "thank you"!

    The Conservatives, on the other had, are unwilling to tackle the nettle-patch that is EU migration and instead turned to a much softer target.

    It's no coincidence that more Europeans have migrated to the UK than to Germany or France - or anywhere else in Europe - look at all the benefits they can claim and get free health care! And if they get a job but can't speak much English, their employer (or the tax payer) foots the bill for language lessons.

    If I were in the UK, I would be voting for Ukip at the European Elections but I'd want to wait until I had read the party's Manifesto for the 2015 General Election before deciding to continue my support. One thing's for sure though, I wouldn't be voting Labour under any circumstance: I don't want a 50% Income Tax rate or yet another raid on my pension fund, thank you. If any reminders are needed about socialist gvernments, glance your eye across the Channel where, the economy is so bad that the entire French government resigned a couple of weeks ago. The imposition of a 50% tax rate in France has led to many of the wealthy leave the country.

    I agree to a point. But where do our beloved Filipinas fit in? In our eyes they are the very much loved and wanted. But do the rest of the general public and UKIP see it the same way or do they class our beloved gals in the category of the unwanted? For UKIP the category of unwanted is a broad one with no dispensation for Filipinas as far as I know. And following on from that how about American wives and Thai wives and wives from Timbuktu. Where do we draw the line and who should draw it?

    As it is unlikely that I will be in the UK on election day, and I am not currently on the electoral register anyway, I cannot honestly say that I can see myself voting for any party, as your question asks. Bad wording John.

    I have had no party allegiance or respect for politicians since dear Maggie was booted out.

    Politics is a bit like supporting a football team, people who support a party stick with them even when the party policies and manifesto promises turn bad, as has happened to all of the three main parties.

    Nigel Farage is an honest guy, with good policies, who would make a excellent prime minister. Rather than wasting a vote on the other loons I would suggest that people give him a chance.

    I cant vote either as I am not in the UK. But I have voted on the forum.

    But it is only for fun Dave. Good enough wording.

    I wholeheartedly apologise for the wording Dave. I did "bang it out" while feeding the baby. :D So hopefully I get some dispensation for that. And am sure one can work around such flagrant an error.

    Did you vote Dave? I sense you did. And not the option I would have expected from you...

    You make an interesting point there. People are a bit tribal when it comes to football and politics. Agreed.

    BTW Still not a single Yes. Wassup? :D

    Maybe we all realise what an idiot UKIP are, and cannot be taken seriously.

    The Irony of course is that David Cameron shot down that alternative voting referendum. Had voters been given the chance to vote for a second favourite, his party might have done a lot better with UKIP taking Tory votes.

    Pity he is surrounded by loonies, bigots, racists, and total ignoremuses without an ounce of common sense and humility, and in most cases unable to string more than six words sentences at the time.
