UKIP

A UKIP candidate has been suspended after being filmed apparently threatening to shoot a Conservative rival.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2015-england-32595003

"If he is I will personally put a bullet between his eyes. If this lad turns up to be our prime minister I will personally put a bullet in him. That's how strong I feel about it."

"His family have only been here since the 70s. You are not British enough to be in our parliament."

Considering the number of candidates suspended by UKIP in recent years, do we think they are just bad apples in an otherwise good-natured bunch? or is UKIP a party that attracts people with hate-driven agendas?

Discuss.

Still, hopefully that'll be the last time we hear from him but somehow I doubt it.

Exactly. My guess will be on Strictly or in the Jungle this Autumn

I get the impression that he isn't very well.

Probably all that bloody beer he drinks.

Scary they polled more votes than SNP and the liberals put together.
SNP 56 seats against their 1? Bit of a conundrum for those that favour the proportional representation system.

First past the post is what it is. Everyone knows the rules before the start.

You're not wrong Great Teams. Now to cut the SNP off at the knees by giving them full fiscal autonomy and not letting them vote on English only matters. Job done.
I see Ed Milliband got one thing right when he said he wouldn't do any deals with the SNP!

F you Farage
==========================================================
I think last night was a very good one for Farage, in spite of losing his seat.

I heard a history prof on the radio the other day, saying that, from a historical perspective, he thought that our determination to play the blame-game is sleep-walking us towards huge constitutional change, and based on last night, I think he may be right.

He thought we were likely to end up with a dissolved union and an exit from the EU, and given that the Tories’ back-bench Eurosceptics now hold the balance of power, and will be hugely encouraged by the surge in the UKIP vote, that’s now looking more likely.

They caused mayhem to John Major, when he was trying to govern with a small majority, and they’ll be loooking forward to doing it again. Little England, taking on the world.

Drove my daughter to school this morning, and she met up with a Portuguese classmate, who’s absolutely
sh.!tting herself , as she thinks there is a growing anti-immigration consensus.Poor little girl was asking me if I thought her family would be sent home.

I think you miss my point Weare. Prehaps read Wessie's point first.

4 million votes for ukip means they will have an increasing influence,as can be seen in tory policy,and they have 331 seats.................

Little England =bad,but little Scotland or Wales is cool,eh?Why the anti-English self- defeatism?
