Socialist European foals - good grief. If people actually examined UKIP's policies then they wouldn't vote for them in the first place. Those 'Socialist European foals' are probably more representative of public opinion on most matters than UKIP - immigration excluded. Even recent polls indicate most people would vote to stay in the EU if a referendum occurs.

A vote for UKIP is nothing more than a protest - people don't know what they are voting for. They are a one-trick pony, and the vast majority of people might be okay with voting for them at local levels, but wouldn't trust them to run the country. They would ruin it.

Well it's not all about immigration and the EU... But I have to say that UKIP's policies are rather small. That said I don't think UKIP expect to get into power for the 2015 election, the party just wants MPs in parliament. Also, I think UKIP will improve their manifesto a lot for the 2020 general election, where it's possible the party will grow enough to give Britain some common sense!
Issues - UKIP

I don't like any of the three main parties. Well two actually, lib dems are hardly a force any more. If I had to choose between them I would pick Labour.

I would vote for green, but since they were voted for in Norwich they have some really idiotic ideas, such as collecting rubbish every other week, which is just stupid beyond measure.

I disagree with people who compare UKIP with BNP and accuse it of being racist - it's not. However, I don't support the idea of us leaving the EU (instead I think we should retain back some of our powers) and so the fundamental policy of UKIP prevents me from wanting to vote for them. Other than that their other few policies that I have seen are not too bad.

I will probably vote for UKIP just as a protest, no way in hell will I vote for Conservatives, lib dems or labour. Idiots put my tuition fees up to £9000

Tuition fees have always been there but they were subsidized by the government. The current government didn't increase your fees. I remember seeing that my tuition fees at Exeter were around 9,000 but mostly paid by the taxpayer. I only paid 1,000.

Support for leaving the EU by constituency:



Lowest in urban areas + Scotland.
