(Reuters) - Prime Minister David Cameron's ruling Conservative party was humiliated in an election in England on Friday after it was defeated by a scandal-ridden coalition partner and pushed into third place by an anti-EU party.

This is excellent news here, UKIP are well and truly on the up. Considering they only got a few % at the last election, to score nearly 30% with far less resources is huge.

In all my life I have never wanted to see a PM more than Nigel Farage, he is our last hope and it seems more and more people are realizing this.

Freepers please watch this for his views on Islam and Christianity in the UK..........so refreshing.

Is this the equivalent of a British “Tea Party”?

What Cameron seems to have done, from this Yankee’s POV is a shame. Couldn’t someone in the Tory party take him down, or is his perversion of conservatism the new normal in his faction these days?

[UKrepublican]

Yeah closest we have. Nigel Farage is really an old fashioned Tory, and many of the members and reps of the party are former Tories also. He like a drink, he likes a smoke and he tells it like it is, unashamedly so. If you watch the video I posted you will see that quite clearly.

It is the same old story......liberal PR man wins election and dominates politics (Blair), opposition out in wilderness tries to copy them....Cameron to this day still takes advice off of Blair, and low and behold, the public opts to vote for the real deal rather than the lite version.....

Luckily the foundations of the British Conservative Party are still conservative and at some point after the next election he will be overthrown, unlikely before, but possible.

UKIP is gaining huge momentum from across the spectrum.

People have had enough of the main three parties selling out and selling them out.

Combine ALL pro-conservative issues from ALL of the parties that take pro-conservative positions on certain issues, and then, successfully, create one political party! That’s the best thing that could ever happen. Splitting the total conservative votes between the Tories and UKIP, each and every time that there is an election, helps the left, each and every time!

Any party that realizes that the Free Trade Communist EU is not a good thing is a good party for any nation

[UKrepublican]

I think that’s what they have done here.

For instance the Liberal and Conservative vote from the last electrion both went down by about 14% each, and the UKIP vote up 24%, Labour up 0.2%.

I come from a Tory family, and everyone I know is going to be voting UKIP. People have had enough. I mean what kind of conservative party puts gay marriage on the agenda when the economy and Eurozone and country in general is in crisis?

Frankly, I’m surprised you can put the words “free trade” and “communist” together without bursting out in laughter.

Think of Republicans, only articulate and intelligent coherent.

Speaking of articulate and “intelligent coherent”, please make that “articulate and intellectually coherent.” Need coffee. Bloody spell cheque.

[SoFloFreeper]

Very interesting. Let me also ask: is Christianity of any positive influence in the body politic in Britain?

Here in America, in the late 70s, early 80s there was a resurgence of evangelical influence...helped put Reagan in power....strangely, it also had a hand with his predecessor Jimmy Carter.

Today, sadly, many Bible believing churches refuse to publicly challenge the evils in the current administration.....

>>Think of Republicans, only articulate and intelligently coherent.

He’s not only articulate but extremely witty, which is not the same thing. I often watch his speeches and interviews on youtube just for the entertainment value.

The only purpose of Labour is to attempt lifting a pile of dung by the clean end.

The only purpose of Liberal Democrats is to convince the public they can lift the other clean end.

The only purpose of Cameron’s coalition is to hope the previously mentioned two are successful while their own hands stay clean.

UKIP is all about getting out a shovel, cleaning up mess in the yard and getting our hands dirty.

Back in the EU
Back in the EU
Back in the EUSSR...

Those great debts me out
They kick the West’s behind
Angela’s blubbery cellulite hanging out
That EU troika is always on my, my, my mind

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

I don’t think the gay wedding holiday Cameron had with Obama helped his party much...

[Natufian]

I suspect that the only effect the UKIP will have is to strip the Tories of votes and allow either the Labour or Lib Dems to gain more seats.

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

That may be, but the only affect Cameron has had is the same.

We need a whole lot of politicians like him, here. Great video clip.
