I guess logical reasoning is wasted on you, but I have to point out that not all people in a group are racist if one person in the group is racist.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

But still 25 seats as opposed to the 3 seats tin-pot UKIP will get.
Yup
8% of the vote = 35-50 seats
15% of the vote = 1-4 seats.
30% of the vote = 270-280 seats
Gotta love our political system!
Given you don't even know me that's quite some statement to make. I doubt you even know why I'm voting UKIP.
But still 25 seats as opposed to the 3 seats tin-pot UKIP will get.
True, but just shows that as UKIP currently have about 17% support against about 9% for Liberal, that the voting/seat system is turd.
I think putting up the photo of Farage outside the Jolly Racist pub (thinking it has not been posted many times before) plus his article and comments, which have been aired many times, means he does not look at threads......or maybe he has a touch of Turbo Lag.
Indeed it is. But the Lib Dems have been the third party in this country for decades and have had to suck it up for all that time. I doubt your heart bled for them back in the day.
UKIP are like the Greens in the 80s. I think the Greens got something like 17% of the popular vote in a European election back in the early 90s but before the voting for that election was reformed, were only able to take up a handful of seats and were grossly under represented.
It is high time the voting system was changed in this country.
Actually my heart did bleed back in the day..........because i voted for them, so you can doubt no more.

Whilst this is obviously true how many apples have to be rotten before the entire barrell is declared unfit? UKIP members and supporters have shown on an almost weekly basis they possess a lot of prejudice against a lot of different people including but not limited to; foreigners (as a generalisation), the Polish, Romanians, Muslims, women and LGBT to name but a few. To say they are ALL racist is a genetalisation but to ignore the fact that 50% of UKIP supporters admitted they were racially prejudice is just ignorant.
That fits with your Templar Warrior Knight image I work every day, sometimes Saturday as well, post in my breaks. What i do try to do is read other threads, especially ones that are running on the board with the SAME link, on the SAME page and SUBJECT, tends to make you look less of a plum.

I'm afraid it's a sad reflection of our politics that ALL parties have to suspend members on a pretty regular basis because of their rank stupidity, and often criminality.

The anti-UKIP brigade on here don't need to know reasons behind why you (like me) are voting UKIP. Most of them completely disregard your opinions or your right to have them, instead throwing terms at you such as racist, ignorant, or downright thick. We all know who these posters are, and quite frankly I think they show themselves up.
You obviously have your reasons, as I do, and these people just make me even more determined to support our exit from Europe.

And just where does this 'fact' originate from? Exactly half the people who support UKIP responded to an opinion poll one day, did they? Something like that would have to have happened for it to be a 'fact' - and the idea that the pollsters could find ANY cross section of the population, let alone one the size of half of all UKIP supporters, in which 50% ADMITTED to being racist is laughable.
Face it, your airing your opinion, not a fact.
