Oh come on, they're the only 'serious' alternative. Who can't even CC their own candidates. Or control them.

Farage did a lot of good work for UKIP. Lord Pearson since taking over the reigns of the party seems to be doing his best to throw it all away.

His did his party no favours whatsoever when quizzed on the last Politics Show

They're not a serious alternative. I got a leaflet through my door (kingston, surrey) telling me that their man was all about standing up for our local issues, like getting the Walthamstow dog track re-opened.

If you don't know, Walthamstow dog track is in north east London. There are about 15 constituencies between here and there.

That party is a joke.

I had a similar thing where I live, UKIP leaflet, stating they stand for local issues the list of 3 included, getting out of the EU, the other 2 that I cant remember where pretty tenously local...

I like the idea of the UKIP but they are just fail..

Maybe the way I read it, but that sounds like a good policy to me. Why waste money and energy fighting against someone who already supports your view.

They can save all that up for the Euro Elections.

Its been the stated policy for UKIP from day one; do not compete with Tories who are Eurosceptic. Yes, a good idea.

Sorry, I was doing sarcasm. They're about as serious an alternative as giving the whole country AIDS and making all milk contain heroin by law.

They had already announced earlier that they would not stand against euro sceptic candidates both tory and labour. Non story.

I got a leaflet through my door from their candidate here, couldn't believe it, I agreed with everything...

It would be a waste of resource for small party with no hope of election, they know that. They are concentrating on areas where they may win a seat based on people reading their manifesto and the undecided pro-UK/ anti-communist - hopefully they will win enough for the Tories to take note.

Wrong. Totally.

A completely obvious ploy to stop a conservative rally against the nationalists in my constituency.

UKIP are a joke?

What does that make the 3 main parties...

Answer:
The biggest stand-up comedy acts who will(have) sold us down the river to Brussels and the falling apart Eurozone, at a cost to us of a loss of 80% of our governance (soon to be 100% control so it makes no difference which of the 3 comedy acts win) and at a current cost to us of almost building one 'new' hospital - £45m - EVERY SINGLE DAY, soon to become a new hospital plus a special baby unit and/or new A&E unit ie: the tiny sum of just £60m EVERY day!

Yeah, no doubt about it, really funny, why don't you start singing the Bee Gees hit, especially that line
'I started a joke, but I didn't see that the joke was on me.'

As you will find out all too soon.

The one idea they have latched on to may not be a joke, but the party is. Totally unfit for anything.

So what does make a party fit for power? Judging by the comments here it is slick presentation and a whole phalanx of slimey oily politicians - and thus we get the main three parties who you might judge as fit to rule because you're too blinded by their presentation to actually look at their utterly rubbish policies and their bankrupt political beliefs. I read what UKIP's policies are and thought the gist of them was spot-on. Given that the professional politicians are such an utter disgrace I am more than happy to give some keen amateurs who seem to be more in touch with reality my vote.

You want to hand a multi-trillion pound economy to some 'keen amateurs'? These would be the same keen amateurs who have a number of colleagues within the ranks with more than questionable records in financial dealings.

What a cracking idea. Replace those 'slimey oily politicians' with the MEPs from UKIP who took more than £2m in expenses to fund their families etc. It makes the duck pond incident look like stealing a grape from the grocers.

I hear what you're saying, but aren't they all 'keen amateurs' - Darling was a small town solicitor, not even a qualified accountant...

The problem is that there is no reglementation or qualifications needed, neither in terms of life experience or academicaly. In any other job you have to conform to some standard or other, politicians, surprisingly (note the irony), don't.

Shall we highlight all the bad eggs in all the parties. I think its time to accept politicians are not superhuman paragons of virtue and look at how they're going to tackle the major issues facing the country.
