Yes of course, but I think you conveniently forgot to research the blogger or just put up a Greens view on UKIP, it was an effort to offer an independant valid view when actually its a party political splurge.

Of course the writer's political bias informs their overall view but when does genuine debate stop and "political splurge" and "propaganda" begin? Why are the arguments presented in that post suddenly invalid simply because it argues against UKIP's view of the world from a different perspective? Are the facts and figures suddenly irrelevant simply because the colour of the tie changes?
I was thinking earlier today more recently in some of the debates/interviews I have heard, there seems very little qualification of any party representative comments.
This just fell into the same category for me.
You're very persuasive. I was a bit worried that they were slightly behind the times but when you put it like that, I'm very tempted.
