[kj] OT: UKIP - The anti-Killing Joke party?

[jpwhkj at aol.com]

Yep, I went through a period of not voting many years back because I was so disgusted with them.  In the constituency I live in now, I'm in the happy position that my vote counts (i.e. it's fairly marginal) but unfortunately neither of the parties that *could* win it are ones that I would currently vote for... however I will still vote, because it will decrease the percentage of UKIP, BNP, etc, and hence reduce the chance of them saving their deposit.  But that's a pretty crap reason for voting, and I sympathise with those who don't vote.

Agreed. A "none of the above" box would be great, especially in local/European elections like we've just had where spoiled ballots aren't counted. In the meantime I'm voting Green...pretty meaningless in the forthcoming General Election but what are you going to do?

The problem with not voting is that it allows Farage, Griffin and the rest of the pond scum a chance . . we could do with a "none of the above" box on the ballot paper

I'd that if I sat down in a pub with Farage I would disagree with him on everything, and I can see no plausible scenario in which I would vote UKIP.


That said, I struggle to vote for any party, and am deeply disenchanted with the main ones.  I suspect that a lot of people feel the same, and that some (many?) of them will vote UKIP.

totally agree with my southern namesake.
Next elections, I have decided to exercise my democratic right of not voting. I am sick of all the constipated smiles & falseness that dominate British politics more so now than ever. I’m sure it was never as bad as it is now. They all just prattle on about nothing - and the same nothing at that! It’s grown up tongue pulling, the political equivalent of trying to pull each other pants down in front of the girls so they can laugh & say how much bigger theres is. And anyones answer to anything seems to a bunch of meaningless statistics with a date thrown in.
I’ll give Farage one thing, he’s not afraid of a scrap & will speak his mind. As much as I fervently disagree with pretty much everything that comes out of his mouth, he seems to be about the only one being genuine.
Which is scary.
