Whilst I agree the EU is an inefficient monster if we left it would have significant impacts on inward investment here. Very likely firms such as Honda would relocate into Europe.

Indeed and while Europe would still allow us to trade with them they wouldn't allow us to undercut them by reducing the pay and working conditions here to do it.

That can't be true surely, Mr Farage said they'll be begging us to do business with them after we've left the club and stopped paying our fees, says that we are their biggest export market so they CAN'T impose terms on us if we leave, in fact he seems to think we'll have the whip hand when we renegotiate all our trade deals with Europe.

He wouldn't lie to us would he ?

My options at the ballot were...

Labour - No
Tories - Hell No
Greens - What's the point
English Democrats - No
Britain First - Hell No

and Ukip, so I voted for them based on process of elimination.

What a horrible racist I must be!

2 more seats than a so called mainstream party.
Under the system of PR used, your vote counts.

Could I just ask why you say 'hell no' to the Tories and then by your process of elimination, end up voting for a party who are Tory in all but name (only slightly more extreme)?

I don't really see much difference between any of the main parties really, they are all in the pocket of big businesses and choose to serve their interests over mine. However, UKIP have not yet got a track record in gross incompetence of Labour or indeed the vicious cuts the Tories subject me to every time they get in, so why not?

I really don't expect any more of them than the rest but you never know, it's not like anything would fundementally change if they got in anyway.

Go on then oh superior one, read what you have quoted and then explain to me what cuts UKIP have inflicted on the public so far?

I'll save you time - none.

So you cast a vote without reading a party's proposed policies??....

Its little wonder UKIP have done so well, if people have based their voting on a similar logic to yours.
