"To all the people on here that are eligible to vote in these by elections VOTE UKIP, you know it makes sense I disagree but there you go.. are you a party member then..?" As it happens yes. we will agree to disagree then. The country needs to change, I am of the opinion and belief, that this is the way forward. I could make a list of things that I believe are unfair about being in Europe, and no doubt people would have different opinions on them. Both Labour and the Tories have gone soft on not only Europe but a lot of other things too. I wont mention the other lot because IMO they are insignificant and wont even be the 3rd party in a few years time. | |||

Generally we cant all have everything just how we want it, perfect institutions and services etc don't exist in our societies.. so whilst there are many things no doubt about being 'in Europe' that are not fair, equally there are many that others will find either 'fair' or its how it is so lets see how we change it from within.. standing outside and shouting is not the way to influence anything in my opinion.. hey ho | |||

"So referring to 'bongo bongo land'; stating women are 'worth less' in the workplace; stating that women are sometimes responsible for being raped, calling female members 'sluts'; inferring recent floods are due to the legalisation of gay marriage and stating that a high percentage of gay people are paedophiles, amongst many other choice comments don't make them racist and bigoted?!?! Seems pretty clear to me what these people are about!" is this their manifesto??? | |||

Labour and the Lib dems both unashamedly pro-EU, and the tories "pretend" to be anti-EU, but we all know Cameron wants britain to stay in it. I think UKIP have the clacton by-election in the bag with Doug Carswell, look forward to seeing him in the house of commons as UKIP's first MP. The 1 million pounds Arron Banks recently donated to UKIP after William Hague called him a nobody should also come in handy for the election campaign!. | |||

"I think it was David Cameron who recently said, about next years elections, that if you get into bed with Nigel Farage you will wake up with Ed Milliband, indicating that voting for UKIP will likely result in a Labour Majority - which would be disastrous for the country given the mess they left the last time." The OP never mentioned next years general elections, this thread is about the by-elections in Clacton and Middleton. Besides i seem to recall the conservatives saying before the european elections a few months ago, a vote for UKIP will allow Labour to win. Complete rubbish as it turned out because UKIP won the european elections. If you do want to talk about next years general election it looks like the Lib dems are finnished. If UKIP do get a few MP's elected a conservative/UKIP coalition could well be possible to keep Labour out. | |||

"Expect UKIP and other right wing parties to do well in Middleton due to it being at the center of the Rochdale sex gang case . There is a lot of anger and suspicion locally towards the three main parties . With the cyrill smith allegations aswell as well can see the Libdems coming a very very poor last " This is so true & the campaign by UKIP has been massive!

My comment, though mentioning next years election, was intended to reflect a general point of _iew. Will these seats be up for re-election in May next year? If so, then the bi-election results will be pretty much irrelevant anyway. | |||

Strange that, but anyhow you can hold onto the 6 months to the general election thought if you like, but i'd suggest its highly likely Farage will win his seat as an MP in the general election next year The trend of UKIP's position seems to be getting stronger and gaining momentum all the time, not getting weaker. | |||

" Well you've just got to look at what happened during the Tory conference, when a Tory backer switched allegiance to the tune of a million quid. That's who makes policy and that's the real problem. The backers who expect monetary return for their investment. Business, Lobbying, donations, 3 line whips need to be completely removed from politics. Being an MP should be your only job, you should be allowed to vote as you please and fund parties proportionately from taxes. That's the only way things will begin to change. | |||

"To all the people on here that are eligible to vote in these by elections VOTE UKIP, you know it makes sense It doesn't make sense though it would send a message to the other parties. And that is EXACTLY Why it makes sense. There are better ways of protesting than voting for some of the nastiest, narrow minded, bigoted idiots in this country in the vain hope that they are any different. They're not, they just pandered to your petty fears and prejudices by telling you what you always suspected, that the polish family down the street caused your problems. " So if they're no different from any of the others, who will you be voting for? And please, don't judge me by your narrow minded _iew of what you read in newspapers or see on the TV... a media which is, by and large, there to protect the establishment, for they have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. And have you actually read their, or any of the others, constitutions? They are the only one of the (now) big 4 that if you join their party you have to sign a declaration saying you have never been in NF, EDF, BNP, etc, etc. And have you seen the list of paedophiles, molesters and abusers from the other 3 parties? I'm not bothered about the Polish worker down the road, if I was in a situation where I could have a better life in a different country, would I go? Too right I would. It's the system of immigration that is at fault. As is the system of Europe. As is our political system. And pray tell, how would you vote to make a difference then? | |||

" Well you've just got to look at what happened during the Tory conference, when a Tory backer switched allegiance to the tune of a million quid. That's who makes policy and that's the real problem. The backers who expect monetary return for their investment. Business, Lobbying, donations, 3 line whips need to be completely removed from politics. Being an MP should be your only job, you should be allowed to vote as you please and fund parties proportionately from taxes. That's the only way things will begin to change. " I don't disagree with you in that one. | |||

It doesn't happen with the other parties and so have no need for a declaration. I'm surprised Carswell stood as a candidate, I thought UKIP would have told him to go back to Uganda. | |||

"Be of good cheer you anti UKIP.ers. It will all end in tears...they are not the first, and won't be the last party, to claim they will change the face of British politics. As ever the mantra resonates with a politically disaffected and apathetic voting public, and as ever will crash and burn because for all the hubris, they are a single issue protest party." Agree with this. The UK Independence Party and Green Party are good examples. Both promised a revolution in British politics, and the media loved them for it, but where are they now. That said, I do enjoy watching the established parties having a little panic, so thanks to UKIP for that | |||

The only way to do that is for action by the entire country that hurts the wallets of the people who run things, and threaten the status quo. I'd suggest something like a national sick day. Where everyone in the private sector calls in sick. Just once a month. Everyone stay at home, don't go to the supermarket or spend any money. Threaten their bottom line and things will change. Do that once a month for a few months and see what happens. I've always wondered why no terrorist organization has ever phoned in multiple bomb threats for bridges on the M25 on a Monday morning rush hour. They wouldn't actually need to plant a device. Just close bits off for an hour. Gridlock most of London, threaten productivity. Then they'd get a reaction. That's how you hurt them, threaten productivity. | |||

"Labour win Middleton. " Only just by the skin of their teeth. There had to be a re-count as it was so close. UKIP came from no where in middleton with 2% of the vote last time, this time shooting up to 39% of the vote, only losing by a mere 600 votes. Another couple of days campaigning and UKIP would've won that seat. UKIP are now the official opposition to Labour in the north. As Farage said if you vote conservative north of birmingham you get Labour. Nothing like playing the tories at their own game. Some 3000 people voted tory in middleton, if just 700 of those had switched to UKIP, then UKIP would've won. As for Carswell in Clacton, he increased his share of the vote from before, also picking up Labour votes, aswel as conservative. Carswell seat for UKIP now looks safe for the general election next year. Onward and upward for UKIP from here! | |||

So what you're saying is that you're not actually willing to do anything to effect change other than vote and bitch and whine. Which will do fuck all, as I've already pointed out the system is broken, so voting UKIP will do nothing but perpetuate that. I'd be prepared to lose a days pay to make real change. And I deliberately said private sector so that people didn't jump on going "what about nurses, police blah blah blah" and getting their knickers in a twist. My Sick Day idea would only work if everyone or a majority participated. And for that reason would never work as people like you would be too scared. Was only using it as illustration of the only way you will ever get real change, it's called revolution. Albeit by pacifism or civil disobedience. and I still can't quite work out what you're getting at with the peadophiles nonsense, and it is nonsense. Are you saying that all members of the 3 main parties are sex criminals and that all their crimes get covered up? Are you suggesting that there is a higher propensity for sex crimes if you are con/lab/LD? Anyway, if you have evidence tell the police rather than making general accusations about people. | |||

I'm talking about the here and now, not 200 years ago....." It was the Britons who colonised it! Yesterday is history too... the argument does not stop and start since EU immigration, it can extend to British attitudes to foreigners for generations and British attitudes of superiority over other peoples. I like to think of our more recent immigration as Karma, it has come calling. | |||

"And where did I say I like the system? I actually said the system is at fault. And did I say I am scared of your idea if everybody taking one day a month off? No, I don't believe I did. However, good for you if you can afford to take a day off every month to try to effect change, a lot of people less fortunate than yourself can't. But, hey, that doesn't matter, does it? But you say you didn't mention anything about public sector people doing the same so that people wouldn't, effectively, gave a go about it... wow, you should be in politics, because that's exactly the sort of things politicians do... not tell people the whole facts story.... And no, I don't think all politicians lib, tories, labour, etc are paedophiles or abusers; but you, however do think UKIP, and anyone that bites for them, are racists, bigots, etc etc... also I don't have to report any of the names I mentioned to the police, as they're all a matter if public record with the police already..." And you'd make a good politician because you are clearly into spin. What you wrote says that you are happy the hypothetical Polish family took advantage of the immigration system, by implication, because you would if you could if you were in the same situation. All I was trying to do was suggest a better way of trying to affect the sort of political change I described in my original post. Purely hypothetical. It wasn't a complete plan, ready to be unleashed on the public in a social media storm. But feel free to pick holes if you like. I was simply suggesting a better way of protesting than sending us back to the 1950s with all the lovely xenophobia, bigotry and hate that entails. Because as I said before, you are merely voting to perpetuate the same system, with the same people financially backing the same idiots. And yes, if you're into UKIP then you are clearly all of the above. As well as stupid. I missed that one out. | |||

" Business, Lobbying, donations, 3 line whips need to be completely removed from politics. Being an MP should be your only job, you should be allowed to vote as you please and fund parties proportionately from taxes. That's the only way things will begin to change. Jodie, Douglas Carswel said exactly the same thing in his victory speech at 2.30am, i stayed up to watch it last night. Have you bothered to actually listen to what he had to say? " Lol, yeah I'm sure he meant it. Had his fingers crossed did he? Better ask that ex tory donor who just gave them a million what he thinks. | |||

"The Heywood & Middleton result is much more worrying than the Clacton one. Carswell had the huge advantage provided by being the previous MP. May this be a wake up call to the Labour Party, who take their northern urban vote completely for granted. " The total amount of Labour votes was slightly up on the last election for a reduced turnout. Presumably there was a large spread of other parties and votes that together allowed UKIP to make the gains they did? Tory and Lib voters? | |||

"So if they're no different from any of the others, who will you be voting for? And please, don't judge me by your narrow minded _iew of what you read in newspapers or see on the TV... a media which is, by and large, there to protect the establishment, for they have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. And have you actually read their, or any of the others, constitutions? They are the only one of the (now) big 4 that if you join their party you have to sign a declaration saying you have never been in NF, EDF, BNP, etc, etc. And have you seen the list of paedophiles, molesters and abusers from the other 3 parties? I'm not bothered about the Polish worker down the road, if I was in a situation where I could have a better life in a different country, would I go? Too right I would. It's the system of immigration that is at fault. As is the system of Europe. As is our political system. And pray tell, how would you vote to make a difference then? Where to start...... Well you like the system that allows people to seek a better life in other countries, while at the same time hating the system that allows people to seek a better life in other countries. That's an unusual stance. No I haven't seen the list of people in the three main parties who are PROVED molesters, abusers and peadophiles. Because if they were PROVED, I'm sure they wouldn't be in the parties now. Or do you know something I don't? I will vote Green Party, because their policies most closely match my stance at the moment. But I don't think my vote will bring about change as I described it earlier. The only way to do that is for action by the entire country that hurts the wallets of the people who run things, and threaten the status quo. I'd suggest something like a national sick day. Where everyone in the private sector calls in sick. Just once a month. Everyone stay at home, don't go to the supermarket or spend any money. Threaten their bottom line and things will change. Do that once a month for a few months and see what happens. I've always wondered why no terrorist organization has ever phoned in multiple bomb threats for bridges on the M25 on a Monday morning rush hour. They wouldn't actually need to plant a device. Just close bits off for an hour. Gridlock most of London, threaten productivity. Then they'd get a reaction. That's how you hurt them, threaten productivity. " I absolutely agree with every word you said then that is exactly my thinking thank you for expressing that better than I could you get my vote | |||

"I did not write that I'm happy with the hypothetical polish family.... what I said was that if I was in their situation, and I could go elsewhere for a better life, I would do... and I also said that it is the immigration system that is at fault.... it us not the fault of individuals who use that system to their advantage. And what makes you think that UKIP is bigoted and xenophobic? They are not against immigration carte blanche,and neither are they racist. And for you to accuse me of xenophobia and bigotry, as well as being stupid? I find your comments really offensive... I employ people that are not British by birth, that have come to this country to make a better life for themselves. I they are, however, all skilled people, skills that few British people have now due to decades of industry not training people in key skills. And get this one, I know at least a dozen asian people that vote UKIP... are you also saying that they are xenophobic, bigoted, and stupid? maybe you also think they are racists and homophobic too? " Probably yes. Either you and they are all the above, or you're just far more worried about giving "the man" a bloody nose to be concerned that the party you are voting for A: is backed by the same people who back the other parties. B: only policies are xeno/homophobic and based on crap maths. And that is stupid. Frankly I don't care if you're offended. You'll get over it. | |||

"The OP, still sits, still watches and his smile is even broader. One of the main problems with this country is the majority of the electorate are hoodwinked into believing that the system we have had for the last 100 years is the only system. So when a new political party comes along that might rock the boat, the spin doctors of the big 3 go into overdrive and spew out all the accusations and lies, feed them to the press, ie, all UKIP voters, MPs party workers etc, are xenophobic, homophobic racist bigots, Well there was a lot of them out last Thursday, and there will be even more out next May. Call us names if you want, we are starting to rock the boat, your big 3 are running scared. The OP sits, watches, smiles and waits for Cameron, Milliband and Clegg to come up with new promises to try and appease the people. Promises they CANNOT and will NOT keep. Its time for change" But as I've pointed out, you're not voting for change. You're voting for the same system dressed up in a different guise. A scary one, where any progress we've made in this country in terms of attitudes towards ethnic minorities, different sexualities, civil and human rights will be set back decades. | |||

"Yes. Now that UKIP have got as many MPs as the Green Party, let the revolution commence! " Its the first step on the ladder, every party has to start somewhere. Rochester could soon be 2 MP's for UKIP. Then could possilby see more defections to UKIP from the tories and i would'nt rule out a Labour defection aswel, and more by-elections so the only way is up. | |||

We are an island, we have limited resources which are already under huge stress, we need a sensible debate. UKIP is focusing on 3 key issues, immigration, membership of the EU and career politicians who are out of touch with the electorate. It is estimated that more than 50% of the electorate is concerned with at least 2 of these issues which suggests they will continue to garner support. We are entering a fascinating period in our modern political history." Very good post. I find it frustrating that people won't argue against the policies of UKIP but would rather show their bigotry against UKIP supporters by accusing them of bigotry! | |||

If you try to have a sensible debate about immigration with a racist, then unfortunately their inherent racism will become part of the debate. | |||

During the Euro elections Milliband and Cameron refused to engage with Farage (fair play to Clegg for having the balls to do it), and the result? UKIP won the election. To keep dismissing them as racists, looneys and whackos while their support base grows and grows because no one is prepared to discuss the issues they are raising in a proper public debate is quite astonishing. | |||

Ohhh, the Troll card. Well played! Have I bullied you? Have I? What did the nasty tranny do to you den? I tried debate, I tried several times to point out that voting UKIP is not a vote for political change but a vote for the same system, and that by voting for them you are endorsing ALL their policies, not just the cute fluffy ones, (I actually support the idea of scrapping HS2) But the nasty nationalist ones too. But no, I just get told not to worry my pretty little head, I've obviously no clue, awww bless the little gayer for trying. Patronizing pricks. So yeah, vote for UKIP, get your dunce cap and find a corner til you've thought about what you've done. | |||

Excellent post, and an excellent response to one of the usual forum political bullies who very quickly resorts to insults when their position is weakened by proper debate, or lack thereof. Ohhh, the Troll card. Well played! Have I bullied you? Have I? What did the nasty tranny do to you den? I tried debate, I tried several times to point out that voting UKIP is not a vote for political change but a vote for the same system, and that by voting for them you are endorsing ALL their policies, not just the cute fluffy ones, (I actually support the idea of scrapping HS2) But the nasty nationalist ones too. But no, I just get told not to worry my pretty little head, I've obviously no clue, awww bless the little gayer for trying. Patronizing pricks. So yeah, vote for UKIP, get your dunce cap and find a corner til you've thought about what you've done. " You've really let yourself down, and shown yourself up. At no point has anyone in any post patronised you, or said anything about your sexuality. When, through debate, you show how politically naive you are, you then pull the 'is it because I'm a transvestite, or because of my sexuality card'... you have one hell of a chip on your shoulder. And as for voting for more of the same? If it's more of the same, then why are you not accusing all of the other parties of xenophobia, bigotry and racism? The big 3 are running scared.... they did it to The SNP over Scottish Independence, where the establishment, the big 3, the media and business scaremongered the Scots into voting No - let's see how quickly their promises of increased devolution evaporate - and they're once again trying the same tricks with UKIP... And people like you are believing the media and political hype about UKIP without researching the facts for yourselves... | |||

"Nothing to do with media conditioning. If a person is not deemed worthy to enter this country because of their race or social status, and because you believe they cause all our social problems, if a person is denied the right to marry because of their sexual orientation, then that is xenophobic, prejudiced and bigoted. End of. If the membership of a party now consists of you having to sign a declaration saying you have not been a member of a far right group, then that should ring alarm bells. I could sign a piece of paper saying I never dress in women's clothes, but I think we all know that would be a lie. The fact is that those with the kind of narrow minded, far right, xenophobic, bigoted _iews will vote for the acceptable face of those _iews, as the best way of furthering those _iews. Enter UKIP. The moderate wing of ISIS. Which part of 'UKIP are not for a blanket ban on immigration' do you not understand? Which part of 'UKIP is against mass immigration of Unskilled labour from Eastern Europe, when skilled people from, for example, Asia, are unable to come here' don't you understand? And where have you seen or heard anyone from UKIP, or myself for that matter, blame all of our social problems on Immigrants? And UKIP the ' moderate wing of ISIS'...you say UKIP are racist and xenophobic, and yet you then claim them to be the moderate wing of a Muslim fundamentalist terror organisation!

" Democracy allows people to vote/not vote, vote for the usual, outsiders, weirdos, those who won't get back their deposit etc. That is the whole point of democracy. I don't agree with many people's choice to who they vote for, but that's beside the point - at least they are exercising their right to vote - something many have fought hard for around the world. | |||

"ukip all the way for me , How can anyone support a party which has only 1 policy - and even that's not properly thought through?" You could ask why people would support a party who lies or has so many corrupt expense fiddling PM's which the others have had. If you look logically you can pull holes in all the parties they are all bad. | |||

"I believe in giving credit where it is due: 1. Carswell gave a good winners speech. It was only marred by Farage then standing in front of him and grinning like the Cheshire Cat; 2. UKIP are engaging people on the street. If that means more people vote and take an interest in how politics affects them then that is a good thing. I don't agree with UKIP and I can't see that changing but we have a general election coming up and I want to hear as many policies as possible before I put my X anywhere. " Well put | |||
