    WHS. The left wing controlled media have attacked UKIP supporters as racist, and hence most people are keeping schtum about their true voting intentions.

    Most rational people realise that we cannot govern this country in the way we would like when we are completely controlled by unelected eurocrats in Brussels. UKIP is the only party to address this. Ignore the Tory lies about a vague referendum, it will never happen.

      Yes they will get 4 seats rather than 3.

        I do wonder sometimes whether you actually believe that the media are controlled by the left wing. 80% of UK newspaper readership is controlled by Rothermere, Murdoch and Desmond. So which of those do you count as left wing?

          I predict they will get more seats than SNP, Lib, Green combined. Biggest shock vote outcome in living memory.

            Me:

            Green 83.3
            Labour 16.7

            National Results

            Labour 25.2
            Green 22.9
            Lib Dem 20.9
            UKIP 13.6
            Con 13.1
            SNP 1.9
            Scottish Green 1.9
            Plaid Cymru 0.5

            When people are asked about policies without knowing which party they were proposed by, it turns out Labour has the most popular policies on Health/NHS, the Environment, Europe, Welfare, and Immigration, Greens on the Economy, Crime, and Defence , and Lib Dems on Education and Democracy.

            Fascinating. Obviously all the caveats about interweb surveys apply, however the sample size seems reasonable. Seems to be quite a distance between what people really want and what our 'democracy' is likely to deliver ....

            My subconscious is annoying. It's got a mind of its own.

                I'm not even an atheist so much as I am an antitheist; I not only maintain that all religions are versions of the same untruth, but I hold that the influence of churches, and the effect of religious belief, is positively harmful. [Christopher Hitchens]

                  Why are you excluding the TV and on-line media? The BBC clearly has a metropolitan elite bias.

                    Those green defence/foreign policy ideas in full:

                    Make securing a fair global agreement to tackle climate change the main foreign policy priority because of its central role in driving civil war and involuntary migration.
                    Support democratisation of the UN through abolishing the permanent seats on the Security Council.
                    Scrap all nuclear weapons, including Trident and any proposed replacement.
                    Halt all military cooperation with, and sales of arms to, countries involved in internal repression.
                    Write off and write down unpayable debt, avoid paternalistic aid, and secure the rights of indigenous First Nation peoples.
                    Increase the overseas aid budget from 0.7% to 1% of GDP.
                    Promote fair trade and effective regulation of UK companies operating abroad.

                      Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

                      No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.
