UKIP upholds democracy and democratic elections. No-one obliges people in Britain to vote for one standing party and not for another, and so people here have the possibility to choose. 'You wait and see' is not a UKIP manifesto.
As for the thread, Howard's note, that Egypt has 80 million people, is interesting. I can remember reading from a lexicon published in 1969 that Egypt had 34 million inhabitants. As we can see, the population of Egypt, and of all the Arabic-speaking countries, rises continuously, and this no-doubt requires the need for more irrigation to make some of the desert and semi-desert land fertile.
Lybia has carried out a vast project recently to supply water from the vast underground reserves near the coast, which is supplied for domestic and agricultural use. Other North African and Middle East countries do not have such water-reserves, and this means they will have ever increasing problems finding water for agricultural production and for the cattle, as an increasing population requires these two basic necessities on an ever larger scale.
I still affirm, as I have in the past on the Forum, that in Kent we should have a research acadamy to explore ways to supply the infrastructure for irrigation and soil-fertilisation to these and other countries, and this would also create employment here for us local people.
The ever-increasing population in many countries in the world requires this, and we should put to use our opportunities. Some Arab countries have huge reserves of cash to import such infrastucture, and could even contribute for the poorer countries.
Even if the Arab countries all had democracy as we know it, this would not resolve their major problem, which is lack of water for irrigation. May-be there are people in the Councils who would like to take up the consideration, it's a noble cause, and would have reciprocal benefits for us and for many other countries. Ways to make sea-water suitable for irrigation is probably the best solution.
In Britain, we could do a lot to promote this, and we should realise that:
1) not all Arabic-speaking countries have oil reserves;
2) those that do will one day start running out of oil and cash.
However, their populations increase every day. What they need is an extensive programme of irrigation to create new settlements for farmland and cattle.
