We need a USIP.

[Jack Hydrazine]

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.
