True but then I realised I may have been reading too much into his post. The 'rich' seem to be the favoured pinata doll of whichever party you care to mention, even the Tories. Not that I would consider the average contractor rich, as in asset-wealthy.

Originally posted by Zero Liability View PostI hope they are more interested in contractors than the other parties, considering that they are a party that is pro free enterprise. And less interested in vilifying the 'rich' (aside from those who get rich from political cronyism.)
I'll have to disagree on that - the party is very much not opposed to the 'wealthy' or the 'rich'. Quite the opposite. Nor should they be. I would lose much respect for them if they emulated Labour in being a party of limousine liberals, spewing tired rants against the 'rich', due to this being an acceptable form of hate speech. Unless of course it's the rich who benefit their party, part of the 'in' crowd, then they are silent.

I am not sure UKIP is really interested in wealthy contractors insulated from the day to day problems in the traditional working class areas of the countryLast edited by Zero Liability; 4 March 2014, 18:16.
