Re: Nigel Farage
Personally, I think he should be more rude about obscenely overpaid nonentities like van Rompuy and Ashton. What a pity more politicians don't treat these leeches with the contempt they so richly deserve...but of course, they wouldn't want to rock the boat!

Re: Nigel Farage
He tells it like it is. I can live with that.
A modicum of arrogance(though some would call it confidence) is required in public office.

He has the "like factor" I actually like the guy as well for standing up against the mainstream, but will he defect if he gets power? ![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)

Well power does have a habit of changing people but my vote is more of a protest against the other morons who tend to treat the voters with contempt at every opportunity. ![Jimbo](http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/images/aprilsmile/jimbo.gif)

He'll never get power, but I'd hope he gets a big enough share of the vote to put the wind up the Tories and Labour and make them realise they need to quit their grovelling, servile attitude to the EU and start standing up for this country.

Re: Nigel Farage
UKIP is a one issue protest party. The question they don´t like to answer is:
"Okay, we are out of Europe. What then?"
They have to fudge this question because they don´t want to alienate the left or the right.
They are a useful vehicle for expressing the view that the UK should get out of Europe, but if that is ever achieved, it will be Labour and Conservatives who will seize the power.

No one but the most committed UKIP activist thinks they'll ever get into power. What's needed is a large-scale protest vote to give Tories and Labour a right good kick up the backside. Hopefully it'll happen, but the problem is all the fools who'd vote for a monkey if it was wearing a red or blue rosette. ![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)

That is the real problem.......the people who slavishly follow a particular party regardless of whether it no longer refelcts the issues of the day....a lot of Labour supporters still think that the Labour party upholds socialist values....when, if you look at their record since TB and Nu-Labour were 'invented'.......it is plain to see that it is a paler version of the tory party.
How many MP's who run under the Labour banner have had a privileged up-bringing? How many of them have done real jobs...jobs where you get sweaty and dirty? I think you would have room to put them on a postcard(with room to spare). No, the MP's of today know nothing of the lives or concerns of t he electorate...and seem to care even less(well, while the money comes in to pay them, that is).

Re: Nigel Farage
Well, No, we get what they voted for...in their infinite wisdom.
I think there might be more of them than us...so we never have a sporting chance do we?

There is without doubt more, but substitute infinite wisdom fer stupidity n we end up wi what we deserve, not you or i, but its a generalisation. ![Wink](http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif) The reason i say stupidity is many of those voters have a intense dislike fer the E.U. in my opinion.
