# 41...agree....are UKIP the nastier party?

No Reg, no party is any more nasty or nice than the others (ignoring the loony fringe). But I'm concerned that UKIP advances will deliver a Labour majority government which will permanently cement our ties to Europe and abdicate what remains of our sovereignty to Brussels - the opposite of what UKIP really want.

That's why the Tories and UKIP at the next GE need to vote for a local candidate that appeals to both these parties' values.
The vote mustn't be split!

Many commentators reckon UKIP is also taking votes from Labour. But while I know a good many ex-Tories who have gone across, all my Labour friends have remained Labour, as far as I know.
Perhaps Labour voters are more tribal, and Tories more inclined to think for themselves.
Now, where are my flak jacket and tin hat?

I suggest one candidate, Howard, who can present a campaign that is acceptable to the basic values of both these parties.
One basic is that no foreign parliament or prince can make decisions binding on Britain, not even if British people were part of that parliament.
Our laws must be approved by our elected representatives in Britain, and where need be, by national referendum.

We are moving off the headline
but anyway its my opinion that the tories at general elections usually return to the fold
its labour voters that often dont.
I do agree that the protest party(UKIP) will only damage the tory vote
and iv always said labour will win but not an outright majority

Still 17 months to go Keith. Isn't that how long you said the coalition would last? Harold Wilson once said that a week is a long time in politics.........

One of our (Britain's) first priorities in the economy is to get our lost industries back.
Another will be to open state-funded training courses whereby people will be paid to attend these courses, which will acquaint them with specific types of factory and agricultural work.
Seasonal pickers from Eastern Europe will be turned down and advised to plant their own trees at home and consequently pick the crops there, as we don't need them here!

We should be training people into more skilled jobs, like nursing, Doctors and skills allied to the building trade and perhaps farming, rather than fruit picking.
We want and the people want, higher skills and pay, not minimum wage jobs.
