    You could argue that they are getting rid of the bad eggs in their parties so well done to them for that.

    You could. You could also say that if there are so many bad eggs from one chicken then perhaps its a bad chicken

    No vote is wasted. voting for a millionaire pretending to be a 'man of the people' so he can give even more to the rich and powerful is daft. image.jpg

    You could, you don't know that though.

    I find it remarkable that there's such arrogance shown towards UKIP voters around the country, especially as 15% of the electorate are going to vote for them. Maybe people should give them a little bit more respect than just throwing the easy 'racists' argument at them all the time. I'm far from a voter of UKIP as they miles off how I want the country to be run (I'm a supporter of the EU, although it should be reformed to start with) but can see why people are voting for them, and that's what we should be looking at.

    My problem is with the party not the voters, the party of Xenophobes and little islanders.

    Re: Or vote for the party that condones gender segregation

    Its also remarkable that when a certain poster airs his views he's constantly shot down.....whether people like it or not some of UKIP's views will more than likely be carried out choose whether it's labour or conservatives!!

    With the voters they've now got compared to a few year ago the big 2 parties realise they have to change there strategies or risk losing more voters to UKIP.

    I'll not be voting UKIP but people have got the right to voice there views on any party without being shot down

    Re: Or vote for the party that condones gender segregation

    Personally, I'm a big fan of the Nazi party.

    The mass extermination of Jews sits really well with me. I don't expect anyone to challenge my views or shoot me down.

    Re: Or vote for the party that condones gender segregation

    And I wish Sheffield United and their delightful fans all the best in the play offs. I hope they win at least 6 nil in every game. I also would like to take the opportunity to say what a fantastic character Chris Morgan is.

    I also expect no criticism of this point of view.

    Re: Or vote for the party that condones gender segregation

    A think what I was trying to get at is that every time Young Nudger mentions UKIP he is branded stupid and racist.......now I'd hardly call that debating his views

    Re: Or vote for the party that condones gender segregation

    I get you but nudger hasnt stated his views regards UKIP per se as far as im aware, just his willingness, or an encouragement to others to vote for a party who lets face it, have some pretty serious low lifes as part of its organisation

    Nudger is a clever lad im sure and would willingly debate any issue, as we are all free to. The majority view on the subject whilst no means automatically correct of course seems to be clear.

    Re: Or vote for the party that condones gender segregation

    Seriously? UKIP has been debated to death on here, possibly with some of the most insightful critique that the BBS has ever seen. It just isn't getting mentioned much now because they're only expected to get at the very most 4 MPs, more likely only one, and this probably won't be Nigel Farage. I completely accept that some of this is due to the electoral system, but also because UKIP's arguments have not held up under scrutiny and debate.

    If UKIP are Racist then the whole of the Australian Parliament is also racist - because both have the same view on immigration.
    UKIP wanting to adopt the immigration system that the Australians use.
    I have yet to hear anyone call Australia a fascist country.

    With regard to UKIP, the racist card is played constantly by people that are unable to think for themselves - these people are being told what to think by certain newspapers and the BBC

    Re: Or vote for the party that condones gender segregation

    not sure where you get that their arguments havnt stood up to debate,i'd say the opposite if anything,Farage and his party have done very well in the debates,he also does very well when up against the likes of newsnight and sky news..Anybody who watches politics closely could see that ukip's support would appear to be weakening in the run up to the election,after all they have the entire political elite and 99% of the media after them.Their policies havnt really come under close scrutiny,its been more of a mud slinging and smearing campaign in an all out effort to discredit them and stave off a repeat of the euro elections.
    UKIP'S policies have been fully costed which is why the main parties have avoided confrontation on them.

    Re: Or vote for the party that condones gender segregation

    Ultimately they're an issue party, and their issues are pretty low down the electorates priorities which leaves them shouting on the outside whilst the main issues are debated. Of course they will be more successful in European elections because that's what their issues directly relate to.

    As for having a costed manifesto that's not really the case. It only is if we leave Europe which isn't going to happen as rightly or wrongly there won't be a referendum and if there was most people want to stay in Europe anyway in some form.

    Ultimately if Farage doesn't win the seat he handpicked to contest as he thought it was a cert their campaign will have been a disaster
