UKIP to be branded as "racist".

Yes we do need a change, but not a change for the worse, with that shower!!

Show me a party that hasn't got those who aren't what they pretend to be.,labour party where Communists
and Marxists abound.
Liberals, well they are utterly weak, have No policies that would benefit the country or stand the test of time.
The Con's sadly that is what they have turned out to be, numerous have gone over to UKIP
Yes UKIP has it's infiltrators probably plants!! Nothing would surprise me.
Farage is a fighter, he has his weaknesses but they do not compare to those deceitful money grabbing, lying bunches of parasites sitting in Westminster.
OUT OF EUROPE. Farage is well worth the risk.

Kaz, I agree with what you are saying about the types UKIP attracts, but that will not stop me using them as a tool against the ConDemLabs.

In the upcoming and rather meaningless elections for MEPs I will vote UKIP in the hope that the main three parties will get the kick up their backsides they thoroughly deserve. It might work, or it might not, but for me it is worth a try.

On the other hand, I will never vote UKIP in local or general elections because I would never want them in power. Unfortunately, I suspect the big three also hope and expect most UKIP support to fade in elections where it matters, and so not much will change. There is, however, a scenario where enough hang on to muddy the waters, which would not be a bad thing IMO.

For me the best result would be the UKIP taking 50% or more of the EU parliament vote and 10 to 15 councils.

THAT would be enough to shake the Tories and Labour thoroughly. But, perhaps, not enough to change things that much.

I've noticed Labour, Tories and UKIP having to fire members for "antisocial" tweets, FB, rants, whatever. Have you ever noticed the BNP doing the same??

What I do notice is that the press tend to save these things up for the elections and then go for them.

Another point to note is that the UKIP has increased it's members by about 10,000% in the last year. They had so many applicants that they took 3 months just to process them. There is bound to be more than a few whack jobs in that lot. The test of the party will be if they dismiss each and every one of them....

It will take a year or two, but we will see. Then we can truly talk about whether the party is "racist" or just "realist".

I fully understand where you're coming from, Kaz, and I do agree that Ukip does seem to have its share of nutters, but (personal view) I'd rather vote for them than any of the three major parties, who also have their fair share of nutters - and proven cheats and fraudsters.

I don't think you will find any "group of people" without at least some of their number holding daft points of view.

VV excluded, of course ....
