Could UKIP win the General Election ?
- Thread starter Ernest
- Start date
Then maybe we can both stick to not generalising ??
Well there's 600 odd seats. 5 years ago they got nil seats. Nigel Farage was comfortably beaten in his attempt to get a seat. They have 2 seats now but they are seats which have the same MP as before, so the answer is very very very very unlikely but they might hold the balance of power if the Lib Dem seats are pretty much wiped out.

Not all of them... theres the moment after the Carswill vote, where one voter declared they had voted for UKIP as the previous Tory had done nothing for them.

I think Nibble has gone some way to answering your question about the real fascists - when folk are just not tolerant of others coupled, in his case, with some breath-taking arrogance!
Another potentially interesting debate brought to it's knees by the usual rabble of nitwits. I never learn.

With respect, I am not sure that you should be lecturing anyone after your performance the other day, which surely took NSC to new low levels.'when folk are just not tolerant of others'
I see.

Who is lecturing? You may be shocked to learn that most people consider the policies of UKIP as intolerant. UKIP voters are a minority, no matter how hard UKIP supporters try to talk the party up.

Leave him to it mate, a JCL trying to stir up binfests. Clueless with it.

If there was a national poll today asking which party is intolerant, im pretty sure I know what the answer would be. Which one do you think it would be Hastings?

I apologise -I thought you were referring to me, as the post was very short. I am indeed shocked to read this, as I could not possibly be in a position to make such a judgement that most people think this, and equally to the point, nor can you. Where is your evidence for such a sweeping statement? Of course you hear these criticisms, and they may or may not be justified, but the fact is that you think they are intolerant and therefore assume, conveniently that most others do. You may well be right in that UKIP supporters are in a minority, but then so are the supporters of all parties, given the electorate as a whole, and I am not sure what this has to do with your first sentence??

Yeah ok...its just me and a few 'lefties' that consider UKIP as an intolerant party. UKIP Government is assured then. I look forward to it.

Of course, some/ many voters would say UKIP, which is what you are inferring. However, after Ms Thornberry's outburst, I am not at all certain that you would get the answer you want. And, of course, it would only be those who voted, Dave.

Nobody seems to have mentioned that under the 1st past the post system and the encumbent factor and the massive amount of difference between a protest vote and voting in a general election. It's highly unlikely that we will even have a ukip coalition let alone a Ukip government. After all would anyone seriously vote for a party that wants to privatise the NHS bring back hanging and ban women from voting
