Just ask yourself how far down that particular rabbit hole you’ll be willing to go. UKIP has no manifest worth speaking of - so a vote for them is basically handing them carte blanche to do what they like. They are very happy to talk loudly about the EU and immigration, but are very cagy about policies in other areas. Do you know enough about their health, education, transport, and energy (to name but a few) policies to make an informed decision?

I'm categorically not a potential UKIP voter in any way, shape or form but the bald fact is none of the main parties feel any requirement to stick to the pledges they make in their manifestos anyway, so you could say just not having one at all is actually more honest. Jon

I'm dead against the idea that because the main parties don't honour pledges we should accept the absence of any as somehow more honourable. We should be berrating the main parties for their shoddy behaviour, not promoting a race to the bottom.

That's...  Well it's [LIFTED] the bed and sleeping in it anyway. UKIP are not a single issue party and the rest of their 'ideas' are only going to make life worse for everyone.

And even more of the underlying current of hate, bigotry and racism in UKIP is revealed, right from the horses mouth: http://www.theguardian.com/politics/201 ... ey-momentsI of course expect certain people to stick their fingers in their ears and go "la, la, la" very loudly with regards to this. This is because they are morons.

I'm all for the freedom of speech, just not the belief anyone should have to entertain it. This: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... fters.htmlis just insane that they want to 'coerce' the gay out of homosexuals Then there is the fact they seem like a BNP light sort of party, for those who like BNP but don't want to come across as racist. Videos like the one below seem to help that: http://birmingham.tab.co.uk/2014/05/13/ ...

Yep, you can cure gay people with a bullet apparently.
The same cure works on bigoted dumbfuqs too, although administering a larger dose, many, many times in quick succession is much more satisfying.

 If you looked at a graph of UKIP's credibility over time is would look like something like a standard distrubution graph. The rise due to people wanting a say on the EU, leading to more support and more credibility as a party. Now they've gone over the crest and are on the downward slope as they've been exposed to having too many racist right wing nutters among their ranks. Unless they get rid of all these people ASAP, they will continue on that downward slope until they have the same credibility as the BNP... ie none at all.

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/201 ... avid-lammyEven at that the Labour and Tory leaders are hedging their bets in 'condemning' him. Farage can't really lose in that scenario. You should see the amount of UKIP posters around Ulster too - Farage even managed to get himself photographed with a UDA rebel last week. Though that's not difficult tbf
