UKIP win by-election with a landslide. The majority have spoken.

Good. The main 3 parties are past their sell-by-date and the traitorous red menace needs to be destroyed.

I had to laugh at one of the vox pops in Clacton on TV a bit earlier. She was glad UKIP got in because they represented the common people - the representatives of the other parties are all millionaires.

I read that Nigel Farage earned about $75m last year.

Well, she wasn't the only one taken in by sloppy reporting then! Digging a bit deeper, it's Not 'earnings' but expenses from the EU; there is a subtle difference. Farage would doubtless argue that he uses the expenses to fund UKIP, so the lady making the comment is probably not thick, just right.

I'm amazed anyone sees the UKIP result as a surprise. The only surprise is that it's taken so long.

Nigel Farage.

Straight talk.

It's all "most" people want in a politician.

Have you had enough of speeches written by ghost writers, fake kisses, promises that are not kept, and waving arms and concerned faces during the delivery of said speeches?

People are deserting the main parties because of this. Farage may be an opportunist but he speaks for a large proportion of the population whether people like it or not.

And the fact that the BBC and other press demonise UKIP as racist is like a red rag to a bull to a lot of people who are fed up with the current politic.

Why is Boris Johnson so popular? He connects.. whether you like him or not.

Cheerio Con/Lab/Lib choice. I'd be happy to see more parties come to Westminster. Get politicians to represent the constituents rather than WHIPS who tell them what to do.

Happy days........... laugh.gif

Are you saying UKIP aren't racist and that they've just been mis-represented?

Well, if you want another source for his net worth, try this. The article says he has an estimated net worth of $215 million. Now, you shouldn't take everything you read at face value, but I'm pretty confident it's not all made up.

It could be argued that the other main parties' manifestos are more racist; UKIP will not discriminate based on the origin of foreigners coming to live and work here.

Are we able to take whatever politician of any party says as the truth going by the standards of the last few Governments unsure.gif

This is the main problem not only do they do what they say they would never do but the main problem is to try and decide what they will do that has not been debated!

I perhaps think that there should be a public warning given that all politicians are economic with the truth and that voting for any of them could be disadvantageous.
Until the MP's actually start representing their constituents, not their sponsors, party whips, establishment, or their own self interest then nothing is going to change? Or is this asking too much of a normal human being? rolleyes.gif

Who's going to speak up for the 85% that didn't vote for them?
