So, how many UKIP MPs will get elected in 2015?

[free spirit]

Yes of course it is. You started off posting pro UKIP stuff on a thread about UKIP. Now you're posting actual pro UKIP threads. Who did you think it was about?

are you thinking that a poster with a green party logo as their avatar is actually a UKIPper in disguise?

you could be right, but it'd be a bit of an odd way of going about things.

 

[Welsh lad]

One or two. Maybe Farage and Helmer but nothing more.

 

[SikhWarrioR]

The novelty will soon wear off when people realise just how fuckwitted this assemblage of loons, racists, and disgruntled Tory boys are.

The trouble is now with the mainstream parties there is little real choice between the Red/Blue/Yellow/Purple conservatives they are all scumbags and come May 2015 General Election I dont fancy the prospect of any of them or a coalition of them running the country so who does one vote for

yep, that'll definitely solve the problem.

Wow, imagine if somebody could pick an inappropriate avatar.

 

[Wilf]

Well then, let's ask common.sense - are you a ukipper or a green?

 

[DotCommunist]

yep, that'll definitely solve the problem.

but surely if enough people refuse to engage they'll have to declare democratic illegitimacy?

right?

Also if you kill someone accidentally on purpose, then admit to it in interview, then stand up in court and demand to be tried by the Queens Bench, they'll have no option but to let you go.

UKIP is Farage, the rest of them is a supporting cast of non-entities who don't threaten Farage and nutters they try and keep out of public view - and non-entity isn't going to win a seat against Labour, Tories and LibDems, and neither is a nutter.

Fucking hell, this rubbish does my head in. It's been pointed out god knows how many times that Farage polls behind UKIP. The "UKIP is a one man band" idea is nonsense, it's been debunked over and over and yet people still come out with this bullshit.

TBF the name probably polls ahead of all of their members.

Are they allowed to be both MPs and MEPs? I thought that wasn't permitted anymore. Seems unreasonable to hand them cash (which they'll trouser as much as they can of, on past history) for doing two jobs simultaneously, which isn't possible.

It is the case yes that he polls behind the party, however the party is still a one man band in that it seems unlikely there is anyone with the right combination of abilities and appeal who could replace him. Although the increase in MEPs has probably made it slightly easier.

So if Farage collapsed and died tomorrow, who would replace him? And how do you think that would affect their popularity?

Hamilton

 

[quiquaquo]

How many MPs? 20 plus imho, the xenophobia is boiling over down here on the south coast.

 

[brogdale]

Presumably Nuttall, his deputy? I'd imagine their popularity would remain pretty much unchanged in the short-term, but their media profile would presumably decline.

Nice man, that Farage.

Nice man, that Farage.

"I spent two hours trying to explain to him the difference between 'it's' with an apostrophe and 'its' without and he just flounced out the office saying, 'I just don't understand words.''

Plummet, you mean.

 

[belboid]

how peculiar that the OP hasn't come back to brag about how well they did in Newark.

In other news, Farage is under investigation by the Electoral Commission for failing to declare £200,000 worth of 'donations-in-kind'

 

[Sasaferrato]

I think that it is unlikely that UKIP will win a single seat.

The majority of people, rightly, do not give a fuck about the completely pointless European Parliament, the only parliament in existence that that does not formulate legislation. (That I know of anyway.). People will vote for UKIP for the European Parliament, and the style of the election means they will win seats.

'First past the post' is not good for UKIP, so unlikely they will win a seat, and a fucking good reason why proportional representation in any form should be resisted at all costs.

 

[Sasaferrato]

they haven't got the support to get any seats at a General Election, they got the vote out on a turnout of 35%, General Elections have a turnout of 60% + , a lot of their voters generally vote for other parties at General Elections, mostly Tories, but probably a sprinkling of Labour, and probably a few BNP voters too. A lot of these voters will go back to their original parties, as no one (or very few people) actually want these loons to be running the country

Can you explain why they are worse than the 'loons' currently in post, or the 'loons' that will be in post, post the next election?

I'm quite sure that a goodly number of Labour Muslim councillors feel exactly the same. Muslim Conservative councillors too, if such a beast exists.

Bigoted cretins are not exclusive to UKIP, although, they do seem to have more than their fair share. I must admire their standard of bigotry though, they have a flavour for every like minded simpleton's taste.

Bigotry is rife amongst the working classes and always has been.

It's by far the most liberal, integrated class in this country.

Oh definitely. All parties have their resident nutters and idiots: it's just that UKIP don't seem to have anyone else!
