“Mr Farage suggested he aimed to destroy the Conservative Party, not make pacts with it.”

Remarkable. Now let’s see if they can successfully reverse the treasonous policies of prior governments and send the Islamic enemy the prior govt’s let into UK...back to their own countries.

“A strong showing in the nationwide Euro elections vote will be seen as vindication after weeks of deeply damaging headlines and accusations of racism, sexism and homophobia aimed at UKIP candidates.”

This might rank up there with the Battle of Tours (732) and the Battle of Vienna (1683) for fights which saved Europe.

They made a helluva showing.

The UK elections are next year and while I'm CERTAIN the Tories (GOPe in England) would love to have an alliance with UKIP (Tea Party, matured into a real party)...Farage wants nothing to do with them.

Many, if not most Tory voters will be with UKIP in the British general election next year.

Charles The Hammer took far more latitude in warfare than the modern Frank could ever hop to muster.

I had a thought as I was reading the various articles about UKIPs big win.

Nigel Farage was born in 1964.
Marine le Pen was born in 1968.
Ted Cruz was born in 1970.

I suspect they would all tell you they grew up in the 80s.

By virtue of their date of birth, their formative years were spent under the leadership of Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, and Pope Saint John Paul II.

This could indicate a resurgence of conservative politics worldwide as the Reagan babies are just now into their 40s, typically when we start hearing their names at the national level.

Just a thought.

Where do you think the Muslims will go if they are no longer welcome in Europe? Back to Pakistan and Morocco? No. They’re all coming here as “refugees.”

Churchill, I believe, observed that USA could generally be counted on to do the right thing - after it had tried everything else. UK has millions of aliens now moved in— many or most of which awe still very loyal to a philosophy that they are there to take it over and subjugate or kill the infidel Christians. Same with USA except the political elite in USA is maybe just a couple years behind their UK counterparts in selling their country out. We will now see if the good Brits can repair the damage. Won’t be easy but British history has done it to far less dangerous elements they objected to bring there. So it’s possible, if the British still want to survive and as a free people. And then maybe USA can learn from UK. All the best to the British people.

There is an upcoming by election for a seat in Westminster Parliament (London -the one that counts) on June 5, in Newark.

HERE’S hoping that UKIP can build upon the success of Friday and Today, and ride the wave to capture their first MP as well! ;).

You do understand the EU Parliament is a toothless debating society?
It’s nice to see but won’t change anything .

Interesting thought. Hope it happens.

“”What We Stand For

These are anxious and troubled times. As crisis follows crisis, our politicians do nothing in the face of dangers rearing up all around us.

Taxes and Government debt rise. Energy and transport costs soar. Unemployment is too high. The NHS and state education strain under a population increase of 4 million since 2001.

Another wave of uncontrolled immigration comes from the EU (this time Bulgaria and Romania). Yet the political class tells us the EU is good for the UK.

A gulf has opened between the ruling elite and the public. Because they must all follow Brussels diktats, each of the establishment main parties is now so similar voters have no real choice.

The EU controls Immigration, Business and Employment, Financial Services, Fishing, Farming, Energy and Trade. It seeks now to control Law and Order, Foreign Affairs and Tax. Only outside the EU can we start to solve the problems our country faces.
Return Power to the UK

• A vote for UKIP is a vote to leave the EU and recover power over our national life.

• Free trade, but not political union, with our European neighbours. We are the EU’s largest export market: they depend on us for jobs - not the other way around.

• Binding local and national referenda, at the public’s request, on major issues.
Protect Our Borders

• Regain control of our borders and of immigration - only possible by leaving the EU.

• Immigrants must financially support themselves and their dependents for 5 years. This means private health insurance (except emergency medical care), private education and private housing - they should pay into the pot before they take out of it.

• A points-based visa system and time-limited work permits.

• Proof of private health insurance must be a precondition for immigrants and tourists to enter the UK.
Rebuild Prosperity

• Save £55m a day in membership fees by leaving the EU and give British workers first crack at the 800,000 jobs we currently advertise to EU workers.

• No tax on the minimum wage.

• Enrol unemployed welfare claimants onto community schemes or retraining workfare programmes.

• Scrap HS2, all green taxes and wind turbine subsidies.

• Develop shale gas to reduce energy bills and free us from dependence on foreign oil and gas - place the tax revenues into a British Sovereign Wealth Fund.

• UKIP will abolish inheritance tax. Inheritance tax brings in under £4bn - less than a third of what we spend on foreign aid. The super-rich avoid it, while modest property owners get caught by it. It hits people during a time of grief and UKIP will budget in its 2015 spending plans to completely abolish this unfair death tax.

• Make cuts to foreign aid that are real and rigorous.
Safeguard Against Crime

• No cuts to front line policing.

• Make sentences mean what they say.

• No votes for prisoners - that’s what losing your liberty means.

• Prevent foreign criminals entering the UK - by re-introducing border controls that the EU forced us to abandon.

• Scrap the European Arrest Warrant, which sends British citizens to foreign jails without evidence, just to answer questions - replace it with a proper extradition system.

• Remove the UK from the jurisdiction of the European Court of Human Rights.
Care And Support For All

• Open GP surgeries in the evening, for full-time workers, where there is demand.

• Locally-elected County Health Boards to inspect hospitals - to avoid another Stafford Hospital crisis.

• Prioritise social housing for people whose parents and grandparents were born locally.

• Allow the creation of new grammar schools.

• Make welfare a safety net for the needy, not a bed for the lazy. Benefits only available to those who have lived here for over 5 years.
Free Speech and Democracy

• No to Political Correctness - it stifles free speech.

• The law of the land must apply to us all. We oppose any other system of law.

• Teach children positive messages and pride in their country. We want to unite through better integration.

UKIP is a patriotic party that believes in putting Britain first. Only UKIP will return self-government to the British people.””

Am I not understanding something?

Are people here pro-National Front?

I assume that I am incorrect in this assumption.
