  I put it down to a lack of faith in the established parties, especially with Labour. The expenses thingy I believe has made the average (if there is such a thing) citizen totally disillusioned with perceived corruption within the bipartisan system - it's that 'Oh, they're as bad as each other' cliché we've all heard. All of which brings into play the other cliché we've all heard before : 'Well, Labour and the Tories have both buggered it up, why not give the Libs a go?'
  
  I believe there are far more people considering voting for a 'minority' party than ever before. I don't want to get into an argument with BarryW - I know he doesn't agree with me over this - but the reason I'm supporting Vic and his UKIP party this time round is that both Labour and Conservatives have wheedled out of election manifesto promises over holding a referendum on the continued British membership of the EU in the past and shown that they are quite prepared to say whatever they think will get themselves elected; once in office, their pledges go out of the window. Thus, they are not deserving of my vote this time round and I hope that many others feel as I do; politics is about substance, not spin or image. I have to say that Nigel Farage is not my cup of tea, but I do believe in what he and his party are saying over membership of the EU. In exactly the same way, I believe that many others have had their fill of lies from the two major parties and are preparing to vote against them for too many broken promises in the past.
