UKIP, the BNP and the difference.

[Sean]

Vettebigot likes to trump the populist rise of UKIP as some kind of sea change in British politics. That's what Breitbart has told him to think. And there's no doubt that British voters are pissed off with the established parties. Conservative voters are pissed off that their party isn't racist enough on Europe. Labour voters are pissed off that their party has become the Conservatives in all but name. Lib Dems are pissed off that Nick Clegg sold them and everything they believe in down the river for a nice shiny sign on his office door.

So they're looking for an alternative. And UKIP has the best brand recognition at the moment. Leaving aside the fact that, apart from Europe, every policy that's slipped out is absolutely in opposition to what the British public wants.

This coming year is going to be fun. UKIP are going to have to put out a manifesto for the general election. And I suspect they really have no idea what they're doing.

Maybe they'll do what we expect from Britain: leave Europe.

Not that it's the best decision. But it would be very British. Scotland leaves Britain, Britain leaves Europe, and Europe leaves Germany.

US politics............zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Do you never get bored with those same old parties which are indistinguishable? and all that razmatazz bullshit at election time.

At least in the UK we know are politicians are arseholes.

The UK electorate has never and will never elect a left wing government and even the Liabour Party knows this. If anything the public is sick to death of subsidising the lifestyle of foreigners and the crushing demoralising politically policies of the LibLabCon cartel which has ruined the country for the last 60 years or so. The sooner we are out the EU, abolish overseas aid, reform the welfare state and NHS and rebuild our armed forces the better. All you speak for is a few pissed off Guardian readers who speak with plums in their mouths.

The Houses of Parliament are infested with paedophiles and all the left give a fuck about is homophobia and racism.
