On the contrary, when they stand at the ballot box there'll be no one to vilify them as a racist/bigot/homophobe (delete as appropriate). UKIP will outperform mainstream polling I have no doubt.LotusMartin said:

Dream on.When people stand at the ballot box alone with no one watching them they will put their cross where they want to, and I can assure you that when people are left alone to do so they will vote UKIP in their millions.

My view on things exactly. I see so much of this "racist" "bigot" "thicko" UKIPpers stuff (I'm thick? Oh really?) along with "if you are a UKIP voter please remove yourself from my friends list" blah blah. Then look at the harassment of UKIP meetings, Farage going to the pub with his kids etc. If any other movement used tactics like that there'd be outrage.So I, like many others, keep my head down.
I think the 6-8 seats is underestimating things - I think they're going to take a lot of the vote from Labour in the north; people seem to forget the Heywood and Middleton by-election; UKIP didn't win this seat (they fell short by some 600 votes) but it was by far their most significant result in a constituency where you could put a red rosette on a pig and it would win. There are considerably less safe Labour seats than that up here.
My personal view on it is that UKIP are a bigger threat to Labour than they are to the Tories; the Tories have no chance whatsoever in most northern constituencies - UKIP have.
Hard to say. I think they could do well when voters are free to vote how they feel without fear of accusations of racism etc. But I also think that the election will probably turn into the usual Blue vs Red scenario with voters trying to keep one of the main two out / voting football team style.
I am interested to see if the paedophile and child abuse scandals will affect voting at all?
From a personal point of view I don't know who I will be voting for at this electio, however it won't be Conservative or Labour.

I'll go for 9 seats with 15% of the vote.
Never before have I been so excited about an general election - and this excitement is all down to UKIP. UKIP have influenced British politics in a fantastically positive way, and I pray that they continue to do so. It's the last hope this good country has.
