Why We Should ALL Be Celebrating Today's UKIP Triumph in Rochester and Strood

It doesn't matter what you think of Mark Reckless. It doesn't even matter what you think of UKIP. Whether you love them or hate them their victory last night in the Rochester and Strood by-election was a victory for (almost) all of us.

Let me explain why by way of reference to two characters who embody almost everything wrong with our current political class.

Well, I do see a lot of our politics mentioned in their press about how confusing/confounding/odd our politics are so maybe this will help us to understand their politics. Or not. LOL! Mr. Delingpole has some rather good lines in this piece as you read on. Typical old timey elitist attitudes in play.

We need a USIP.

Exhibit B: Oliver Letwin. It wouldn't be quite true to say that Oliver Wetwin or Oliver Leftwing (as he is variously known) is the architect of everything that is wrong with the modern Conservative party. Just most of it. Damp rag, squishy centrist, Hampstead intellectual Letwin is, as the Conservatives' longstanding policy chief, the man who helped "detoxify" the Tory brand by cleverly ensuring that there was almost nothing Tory left in it. From gay marriage to green energy, from defence cuts to ring-fenced overseas aid, Letwin is the reason so many Conservatives loathe and despise the Cameron Conservative party.

Sounds like the UK's counterpart to our Boneheads, McCommies and Tokyo Roves.

Yes, we do need a viable, conservative second party to compete with the US Uni-Party.

Depending on what the GOP does on Obama's executive amnesty and immigration in general, we could well have a split in the GOP and a new third party by 2016.

UKIP has been wildly successful in its use of immigration to attract voters from the Tories. Labour, and Liberal Democrat parties. It revolves around the premise of protecting British workers. British jobs for British workers. The GOP should be doing the same thing.

The UK does at least have a political consensus that legal immigration needs to be reduced. They can do that with non-EU countries, but the EU presents problems with its free movement of labor hence UKIP's desire to get out of the EU. The message is resonating. Next May we will see how effective it has been.

We need Liberty Party and we needs it today. IF The Vicky Republicans can’t stop Obama they should go as extinct as the Whigs of old.
