(Reuters) - The UKIP party will likely top European elections on Thursday or come a close second, according to opinion polls that suggest a barrage of criticism accusing it of racial slurs and bigotry has failed to put off voters.

All three of Britain's three main political parties have strongly criticised the UK Independence Party (UKIP), which wants Britain to leave the European Union and to impose much tougher immigration controls, prompting the party to take out an advert in a national newspaper to assert that it is not racist.

It may be sometime before his work is done, but i'm sure he would enjoy the challenge of a crack at the POTUS job.
Only a third of the votes have been counted as i write ,UKiP have already gained the 30 seats they where hoping for.
Plus a few local authorities have been taken over by them :D .
No bias or anything ,but the three main lefty parties are emitting damage limitation B.S already.....much Butt hurt.
The Electorate have broken out the Rattan.....at last.

Palin and Cruz gave McConnell a pass in Kentucky and they are giving Graham a pass in South Carolina not endorsing opponents.

UKIP gives no fake conservatives quarter.

Pity. Hannan is a true conservative Tory who is solidly anti-EU and works hard to fight against their damaging policies. Read his book “How we invented freedom and why it matters” recently, it was fantastic. I recommend it to all Freepers.
