UKIP is really a 'none party' with a limited agenda hoping to cash in on the disaffected from all parties in an attempt to gain power.

Why do you 'think' that Meg - I have watched this man many many times and your impression does not fit the bill at all. This man is a true believer that this country is better off without the EU

If it were a fairer system, he would have made an impact
You are against the man because he opposes your view that we should stay in the EU - fair enough.
I see some good in Cameron - at least I am fair to say that

Patsy because that is how it appears to me.
UKIP to me is a right wing party and an 'umbrella' for extreme groups like the BNP .

Thank goodness most people don't take them seriously as was evident in the results from last election.

Well I disagree - but we do sometimes - that's life
He has been tarred with a brush that I think is unfair and I also like the fact that although they throw the dirt in his face continuously, he just wipes it off because of his strong belief
I give him credit - I'm not asking any one here to do the same - well maybe just a little ............

It was the system that beat them at the election Meg, not the lack of support. I wouldn't call in excess of four million votes lack of support, when the SNP won 56 seats with less than one and a half million.

It may have due to the 'the system' Barry but I don't think that is any real excuse for UKIP returning 1 MP

Other parties manage to achieve more than 1 one MP in spite of 'the system'.

I don't think so. More like there is a gathering of the similar thinking clans, making quite a large group of anti-Eu people. ......
I think you're probably right. Racists, neo-Nazis, far right … these are all silly catch-phrases thrown about by people who have no idea what they are talking about. The UK (as far as I can see) is suffering the same fate as the rest of us in the E.U. IMMIGRATION. I mean! How much can we be expected to take before we fight back? Personally I am pro-E.U. but that is only because the national leader we once had was murdered and we were left with incompetent chimpanzees .. at best, thieving corrupt baboons … at the worst. So why not join the E.U. and share the experience? I think it is a pity that immigration is cued to destroy what I think is fundamentally a worthy cause, pan European cooperation. The problem (should I say the “solution”) is made worse because the situation is such that we are now beginning to collaborate with real racists, neo-Nazis, and the far right just to get the job done.

He could just sit back - as the rest of them do - and reap the rewards of the EU
