Is the UK Independence Party winning more followers because Labour has let us down?

Question

On the news: the prison system has "lost" several hundred offenders, deportation orders for overseas offenders have been forgotten, that's for a start.
430 new taxes since Labour came to power. Cost of living increased and value of old-age pensions fallen. Council tax through the roof. Unemployment figures being massaged to disguise the true large numbers.
The UK Independence Party (UKIP) pledges to address these issues and has increased its membership enormously over the last twelve months. How many of these new members have come from disenchanged ex-Labour, ex-Tory and ex-Liberal supporters?

Answer 1

I want to vote for a party who have the following aims

1. To say Brits first, last and everything else in between.
2. A country who will remove all our forces from Afghanistan and Iraq.
3. A party who will tax the rich, but not to the extent where it either reduces enthusiasm or encourages the successful to become tax exiles.
4. To be able to discriminate on grounds of sex, colour, religion and physical ability and to be able to voice that discrimination without fear of being punished for my opinions.
5. To support the welfare state but encourage a degree of self support in health care and pensions.
6. To increase parental responsibility to their point of punishment for their criminal children.
7. Bring back the cane and the rope.

These are only a few of my opinions, which I am sure will by some PC people be regarded as being slightly to the right of Adolf Hitler. To these leftie lunatics I would say I do not care for either you or your opinions. It's about time the Great was put back in Great Britain and it wont get there with mamby pamby soft policies. It won't get there by being soft on errant religious minorities. If they don't like it in our country, they know exactly where to go......home, and leave our home to us. Let them B Off to some mosque in some sh*t tip in the Middle East.

If there is a party that is so enlightened as to promote some of the objectives I have outlined, they will get my vote whether the label is Liberal, New Labour, Conservative, UKIP or Monster Raving Looney Party.

Answer 2

I believe so. While it's not my view (I'll never vote for the UKIP or the BNP), unless Labour do something drastically effective soon, or The Conservatives promise to do something drastically effective to relieve the prisons, hold back on immigration and reduce taxes (or at least 2 out of 3), then these extremist parties will take hold of the Nation.

Labour have been too soft on the issues that bother the average Joe of the UK and they're going to feel the bite from the public very soon!

Answer 3

truthfully, no Labour supporter might circulate to UKIP except they did no longer have a clue approximately their rules. people ought to understand the a referendum on the ecu isn't the be all and end all of each and every thing, there are much greater pressing concerns like the financial gadget working example. Farage and UKIPS tax rules on my own might cost this united states £120BN a year, how the hell is that going to be funded? Farage additionally, alongside with all sturdy Tories, desires to dismantle the NHS, no actual Labour supporter might vote for that. I even examine something the different day that he desires to renounce holiday pay, ill pay and redundancy funds, uncertain nevertheless how lots certainty there is in that. evidently that UKIP supporters in this sight seem to be attentive to little or no approximately UKIP different than they want us out of the ecu, no longer likely a competent adequate reason to need they have been working the rustic, extraordinarily as pulling out of the ecu might cost 2.5 million people their jobs. the ecu costs us approximately a million% of GDP, so don't be fooled by skill of Farage while he talks correct to the cost of the ecu in billions, that's an exceptionally tiny volume in comparison to our financial gadget, no longer lots better than the help budget which fits as much as £0.7BN and we recieve no longer something lower back for that.

Answer 4

I think EVERY party has gained more followers because of Labours dismal showing over the past few years. Any party can pass new laws, but you need ba**s to implement them. In particular, I think the Conservative party and the UK Independence Party have scored best out of this.

Answer 5

Sounds just like the Tories without the sleaze. No seriously, Labour have let no one down. Overall they are for the working masses, white collar, blue collar or however you want to label the vast majority of us. Yes they have got some things wrong, but then so do all governments. UKIP is not an option if you are a right minded thinking person. If however one is not quite up with what UKIP actually represent and stand for, then I am sorry for you.

Answer 6

UKIP is everything that we want and need, independance is great but hopefully if and when they come to power they will make the military a lot bigger

Answer 7

Conservative and Labour have been tried and found wanting - badly wanting.
People are getting to the point where they will try any other party in the hope that it will be better - some hope!

Answer 8

It's sad to see people blinded by UKIP's propaganda, chiefly about Britain leaving the EU. We can't, we mustn't, and we won't, and UKIP knows this very well, but if they can scrounge a few votes from the unthinking, they will, and we'll all be the worse off for it.

Answer 9

kuff it , i'm gonna follow the BNP, they'll sort out this country, then i'll become an mp and then i'll pay myself grossly overpaid wages just like the kuffers that are in charge now. to all those that think Labour have done a good job you are talking out of your a***. Blind following the blind with labour

Answer 10

UKIP are bigger Crook's then new Labour and Conservatives put together
