That's your political viewpoints ignored immediately. You didn't contribute to the democratic system. See your comment below and the question.

IMO people who don't vote but whinge like hell are more of a threat to democracy.

UKIP, despite your biased views, do represent the views on many, particularly, older people. To say they don't or to dismiss those members of the electorate is disgraceful and dangerous and, of course, part of the reason they are proving popular.

So you would be happy to see the NHS completely dismantled and your family charged full-whack for your daughter's care? That is one of the major foundations of UPRIK's manifesto. They are a party of the far-right and if the idiots who vote for them are not also "fascists who shop at M&S and Waitrose", then they really are too stupid to be allowed the vote.

As I said, the rational thing to do if you are anti-EU is to vote UKIP in the Euros and otherwise in the Council elections. That's why I think UKIP will do better in the Euros.

I've found it quite amusing that the voters for the 3 "main" parties who've promised to screw the poor, sick and disabled seem to think they're somehow morally superior than someone who votes UKIP.

What makes you think anyone voted for the three (or 4 anywhere outside of England) main parties?

Ummm, the actual, y'know, election results. They've been in the press quite a bit recently.

I would wager hardly anyone who voted UKIP could even guess at any of their policies beyond "out of Europe".

Indeed. I notice that the people of Hull gave a seat to a UKIP Councillor.

These are people in a city (one with its fair share of economic problems) that is about to see thousands of jobs created through off-shore wind farms, voting for a party that opposes green energy.

That's democracy at work that is.
