The establishment have thrown everything at this guy and he's come through it all.
A rare bit of good news.
There was a thread a week or so ago that indicated the liberal Labor party was leading in the polls.
Is this report (hopefully) that UKIP is leading more accurate?
Hope he can be Prime Minister. He would give the Euroweinies fits.
Nationally it is close between The Conservative and the Labour Party.
So no chance of UKIP winning the election, Labour and the Tories will get around 33% each, UKIP could be as high as about 15-18% which compared to 2010 where they only got 3.1% is remarkable.
The poll refereed to in this article is for the seat Farage is standing in.
Both could be true. This is just about the seat Farage is running for, not the overall Parliament.
So is it possible the Tories might need UKIP to form a government? Isn’t that the way it work / might work?
Yes that’s absolutely right.
yes, a conservative UKIP coalition is the way it should work. But like our American uniparty, the one thing the tories and labor absolutely agree on is marginalizing any actual conservative opposition.
Would his win be equivalent to a Republican Presidency?
If you listen to the Daily Mail you would think that he was 90 points behind and broiled in all manner of scandals.
Sigh. I wonder how many Americans have ever met with their representative?
Isn’t he a Brit-Nationalist?
I like him regardless...
I look forward to his interview on Cavuto show after he wins
I love the man
Congressional districts are simply too large, these days. Tripling the number of Representatives and districts may sound unpalatable at first, but it would marginalize the radical Leftists, greatly dilute the impact of gerrymandering, and make each Rep more accountable to his/her voting base.
I don't know enough about UKIP's domestic policies to say it but from external appearances I would think it shouldn't be hard for a Tory to vote UKIP (with the exception of the few ardent globalists therewith). Is that correct?
Agreed, but the big problem is the 17th Amendment and Reynolds v. Sims, which forced State legislatures to apportion their Senates by population. Were my Senator selected by the legislature and my State Senator picked by my County supervisor, I could see my supervisor and gain real access to the Senate too. That's better representation than being one of 35 million Californians (or whatever it is these days).
No, UKIP is nowhere NEAR leading.
A UKIP CANDIDATE is leading in a 75% conservative district. It’s like saying Republicans are ahead in a Presidential race because a single Republican candidate is leading in a district in Idaho.
It’s laughable. Have a look at the comments on each article about ukip and Farage, the top rated comments always have thousands of green arrows for positive comments about them.
