He is actually pretty good

I just lost game 1. We're on game 2 now.

I currently on game 3 (I think, maybe 4) with him and am yet to win!

In a nutshell: the party of old, thick, men.

How UKIP voters compare

Are you suggesting they're and ?

I think we need a new smiley combining the very best elements of those two.

Next time you play why not start a Chess thread on CUk with your moves so us lesser Chess players can learn?

Farrage himself is a very impressive and charismatic orator

Didn't really get much into policies other than EU vote, Rescinding green taxes, trading with commonwealth countries rather than EU.

He recieved a standing ovation.


Left feeling they will be a MAJOR political force if they develop their policies some more. Can't say I would vote for them....yet.

I saw him at LSE event in January and I was unimpressed. He seemed very much in 'preaching to the choir' mode and seemed a bit confused among young and largely critical audience.

But then I detest the guy.

I'm not suggesting it - the stats show they are.

[ZARDOZ]

This is the bit I don't get about UKIP.
Are they saying they want stronger links with countries like India, which after all has the strongest growth potential of any commonwealth country?
Will that mean more ICTs and easier access for Indian students and businessmen?

I don't think they've thought this through

Does being anti EU governance= no to immigration? I don't think they are against a proper points based system. Rather than a right to work here with no skills.
Remember once the Labour Party were anti EU with the majority voting against EU entry in 1972.

Not saying I agree,like many people I'm just sick of the PR and spin driven homogenous sludge of CON/LAB/LIB political parties.

At least he turned up outside his comfort zone. Try getting Dave, Ed or Nick to do that.

I disagree. Today's young grew up with Europe as their backyard, they holidayed there, have mates there, some go to university there and some want to work there.
The anti-Europe contingent voting for UKIP are the old-school post-war generation who were taught that all continentals were inferior to Anglo-Saxons blah-blah.
It's all about the propaganda you're exposed to when you're young.
Today's young are not going to suddenly hate Europe when they're older.

Older people can remember living in a democracy.

Sadly I don't think the kids today care anymore. The state does everything for them. Why worry who runs the place?

And even its getting worse now.

I had it drummed into me as a kid that you had to vote as people had died for that right. If you lived in Britain you were free and could say whatever you like.

Not many people say that anymore.

You have a point, but I'd still prefer sludge to tosh.
