Just before the last election I tried to drum up support for UKIP, but the wasted vote excuse was used by many, talking to those same people now and they have changed their tune, the snowball is gathering momentum.
Well, thanks for that.Owing to your efforts, we now have Vince Cable in the cabinet.
Feeling pleased with yourself as a result of that, 'kiptard?
Like I say, I won't hold my breath...
It does seem to me that the 'vote UKIP, get Labour' fox has been comprehensively shot, since with the current shower of ste implementing much the same authoritarian, tax and spend, social democratic lunacy as the last lot the only answer possible for someone of a vaguely libertarian bent is 'so effing what they are all the same'. The election of that loon Galloway (yes I know, by-election - doesn't count - etc. etc.) shows that the party of the unholy trinity can be beaten, and I cannot in conscience continue to vote for the liblabcon any longer. I shall be voting UKIP because, frankly it's pretty much the only option left.

Although not very optimistic, I'm hoping that the last general election was the first step in getting the kind of government I want. I really hope there are a lot of people that want the Tories of old and will vote for UKIP in the next election. It's possible we may then go through a Tory/UKIP coalition before getting a decent centre/right government.
Like I say, I won't hold my breath...
This is the way i am going. I have a choice libcon or ukipcon. Rather ukipcon than lib. Like I say, I won't hold my breath...
Since this new gov came in I have been wondering which party really has the majority as most of the policies have a nasty stench of libdem or libdem watering down about them.
We KNOW Ukip have an intense dislike for the EU and if they got into a coalition they would do everything they could to get us as far away from the EU as possible unlike the lib dems who are desperate to be a part of the eu gravy train to secure their future cushy jobs and huge pensions.

I don't disagree with the sentiment on this thread; I like the cut of Farage's jib and much of the thrust of UKIP policy I agree with. But the realist in me knows that voting UKIP gets me precisely what I don't want and that in reality I might as well be voting for CND Milliband or 'til the pips squeak' Ballsack.
Dave is no Thatcher but he's the product of a hostile media which is institutionally left-wing and naturally hostile to any form of Conservatism. I work in the media and to my Grauniad-reading, granola-munching mates in the BBC my right of centre Libertarianism puts me somewhere to the right of Mussolini and Nick Griffin. Do not underestimate the vested interests and placemen that the Left have sowed all over the fabric of this country, which makes it damned hard for anyone with rightist views to make any progress. You're seeing it now in action in the BBC, the NHS, the civil service and even to the point where insitutions that were entirely non politicised such as the Police, the judiciary (Kier Starmer, anyone?) and the Forces have all been infiltrated by the Left's placemen. I don't see that the way to clean up this taint on the fabric of our society is to let in wave of Labour governments with a pointless protest vote. I'd rather choose sirloin on the menu and get rump than demanding fillet and ending up with gristle....

Quite true - and they (the left) are very good at the old brainwashing trick of constant drip feed 'opinion-forming' subliminal nudges. The Conservatives have a hell of a job reducing Labour's deficit and fighting the drag of the forces of the left which never change no matter who is in government.Dave is no Thatcher but he's the product of a hostile media which is institutionally left-wing and naturally hostile to any form of Conservatism.

That's exactly what we have in government now! I most certainly am not happy - that's why I did something that I have never in my 45 years done before, and actually pay to join a party because I am so pissed off with the three left wing flavours we have now - UKIP is my only real choice.
And I am following you. The main parties seem to have lost the plot.I am sick of the crap that is coming over from Europe, and that we have no choice but to comply with.

Is that true of all the media though? Definitely the BBC, and probably TV as a whole. The newspapers and online media seem to have more of a conservative bent though. bennyboydurham said:

I'm afraid you're barking completeky up the wrong tree there.Nobosy has 'infiltrated' the Police or Armed Forces. They have both been subject to a vindictive attack by an inept and clueless individual. Cameron has harboured resentment for the Police since he got his nose bloodied through the Sheehy report. Now he's able, he's giving payback. As a lifelong (until now) Conservative voter, I've never believed that the Tories want to privatise everything, but from what I see happening in the Police now, it's clear that his intention is to do that to whatever he can.
To a man and woman, every Police Officer I knew was a Conservative. I don't know a single one that would vote for him now.
The armed forces aren't a vote winner. The vast majority of people don't care about them. As such they are discounted by Cameron. I'm still very good friends with many of the people I joined the Forces with. The things they talk about are just depressing. They too feel betrayed by a man that talked about restoring the 'covenant'.
Cameron knows the cost of everything and the value of nothing.
Increasing benefits is buying votes in exactly the same way as Brown used to do. At least Brown had the excuse he was barking mad. My vote will never return to the Conservatives as long as Cameron is at the head of it.

Fantastic! The 'only' politician of conviction left. And people are waking up to that fact.http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedd...

I was the only one of my group who voted UKIP at the GE, now I reckon 90 per cent of them would do so next time.
I love this comment:
'Can we make Farage President of the USA. Who cares if he's British. Obama wasn't born here either...'

I'd vote for UKIP, unfortunately there is no councillor in my area. They do get the odd donation albeit a token gesture, I'm certainly no hardcore activist.
A few thoughts on the topic though:
To be a real political contender, the party is going to need to get some meat on its bones and not just be a campaign for one agenda alone, even though it is the core.
As with any fledgling party, this will hopefully come from main stream party MP's defecting to UKIP.
Regarding links with far right extremists, well since they are on the same part of the political spectrum, someone is going to have to deal with them, so I don't see the problem. Surely no different than Labour with communists or the Greens with say, extreme animal rights groups, if you see what I mean.

Farage admits this is a problem. A few thoughts on the topic though:

There was no UKIP councillor in my area during the Local Elections, so I voted on local issues, not national.
However, think about it, even without enough numbers of candidates, UKIP is moving into third position in national politics.
When they muster enough, plus there will be defections to them before the next GE, it's inevitable, think where they will be then.
People have had enough of the crap given to them in past and recent years. It's typical of us, we only move when we are shoved so far into a corner that we have no choice. Just some us move earlier than others.
