So, there are rumours in Westminister that a couple of Tory MP's might defect to UKIP.

I, for one, would be pleased to see this. It might result in a shift to more traditional Tory policies.

Furthermore, it might improve UKIP's chances at the next election.

Interesting, although I doubt it'll make a massive difference.

Unlike those sensible people in Red/Blue/Yellow ties who have led the country with such skill?

Convincing argument.

They probably are, but still an improvement on Liblabcon.

I presume they'd resign their seat too, to fight a by-election on a UKIP ticket?

Hmmmm, didn't think so.

It's better than what a few people on another forum said, that they're racists and that their leader had beaten up a brown person for questioning him on his racist policies..... worryingly, loads of other members jumped on the band wagon slating the party without any evidence (and even when asked to present evidence, said that it didn't matter as they're racist anyway like the BNP confused )

Although you usually find that those who are abused with silly labels are usually a threat to the current leadership who are afraid of them gaining favour amongst the populace.

Well, as a centre of everything sort of bloke, I'd be happy if all of the MP's on that list defected to UKIP. The Tory party would be better off without them IMHO.

I've not really got any idea why half these people got selected to stand by their constituencies in the first place.

Ask the majority of people who they voted for in the last election and they'd give you a tie colour, most don't have a clue about who their MP is, it's like supporting a football team.

I would love to vote UKIP (they have proper tory values), but I can't help feeling it's a wasted vote.

And voting Labour or Tory isn't? Show me the differences to you between this lot and the last lot?

I would consider voting UKIP but they don't stand in my constituency anyway.

If you think voting for what you agree with is a wasted vote then I don't think you should be voting

You can vote labour and get more of the same madness.
You can conservative and get more of the same madness
You can vote Lib Dem and get more of the same madness
All of which are a wasted vote IMHO or

You can vote with you conscience and head and try to bring an end to the madness.

Whats the worst that could happen?

I am going to vote UKIP or if not scribble a rant on my polling card. So dismayed with Cameron will never ever vote blue again and certainly never ever Red.

Agree the message is spot on, however he needs to be a little more measured!! he made some great points on any questions last friday but he needs to learn not to shout and rant.... oh and IMHO voteing for any of the 3 main partys is the wasted vote .....
