I have to be away most of the evening so I set this up for Freepers to discuss the European Parliament election results in the UK and the rise of UKIP.

Actual title: Most of EU votes in election finale

Wonder how it got changed like that, with all those caps and stuff?

Strange. Has Europe not co-opted the American vote stealing apparatus? Or were the numbers so badly not in the commies favor they couldn’t even rig it?

In regard to Ukip, literally thousands of tweets this week about UKIP being “fascists and Racists”, and how UNBELIEVEIVABLE! it is that anyone would vote for “Fascists and racists”.

And that is just in English.

That smacks of an OFA-style coordinated campaign by the twitter bots.

UK Independence party (Ukip)'s "Nigel Farage had been expected to grab between 75 and 100 extra councillors at best, but added nearly 130. Labour MPs and activists, who had tried largely to ignore Ukip's impending arrival as the fourth party in British politics, veered between admitting that it had been hit and that Ed Miliband had to do better, and trying to dismiss Ukip as still so small as to be largely irrelevant."

Sounds like what the GOP does to the TEA Party

From a Guardian article:

"The alarm bells are ringing ever more loudly. When factory supervisor Peter Smyth, 60, from Rainham, Essex, voted for Ukip, it was the first time he had voted since he backed Margaret Thatcher in the 80s. "The older you get the more you realise politics is just a game show. Ukip seem more direct, less bullshit, more real," he said. "I'll be voting Ukip next year – not because I want them in government but because I want to scare the government."

Ed Milliband can't believe his luck.He's about ready to climax in his pants for the very same reason that Billy Bob did when he realized that Perot was polling at 20% of the vote.

Many of the people in England have woken up to the fact that all the major parties including the one that calls itself "Conservative" have been selling them out to the European Union and letting the immigration faucet go wide open.

Sounds familiar.

Interesting and suggestive. It appears that in Europe, of which America is culturally a part of, that there is an ongoing abandonment of the traditional political parties. Indeed there is a reasonable argument to the effect that the traditional parties have abandoned the people. The party professionals have turned into a bunch of lying, greedy, drunken, drugged, overfed perverts who will do anything to promote their personal wealth and well being at the expense of the general welfare.

Please excuse a personal remark, but after 54 years a registered Republican I registered as an Independent a few months ago. Have others done the same? It appears to me that the Republican party has left Americanism and has become a party of self seeking degenerates.

THE UKIP VOTE EARLY ON IS 31.72 PERCENT, WITH CONSERVATIVES AT 24.60 PERCENT AND LABOR AT 23.10 PERCENT, LIB DEMS AND GREENS WAY BACK IN SINGLE DIGITS.
