Nigel Farage says other parties 'fear' UKIP
BBC News ^ | 2/12/2015 | BBC

Posted on 02/12/2015 6:36:56 AM PST by Nextrush

Nigel Farage has said the Conservatives and Labour both "fear" a UKIP breakthrough at May's general election giving it the balance of power.

In his first major speech of 2015, Mr. Farage said believed no party would secure a majority after May's poll.

But UKIP would not "prop up" a government led by another party without an "immediate" EU referendum.

The UKIP leader also claimed his party was now the only "truly national politics party" in the UK.

He dismissed the Conservatives as a "regional party for the South of England" and Labour as a similar party for the North, saying UKIP, by contrast, was "the challenger in virtually every parliamentary seat from Birmingham up to Hadrian's Wall.".....

Speaking at a cinema in Canvey Island, Essex, he said UKIP would not engage in "dirty politics" as its opponents "turned nasty" during the election campaign.....

Mr. Farage, who is hoping to be elected to Westminster as MP for South Thanet, went on suggest that the two largest parties were failing to "cut through" to the public.

"Out there, beyond Westminster, the small businessmen, the backbone of the country, have become victims of a modern form of corporatism.

We are the only party standing up for the little man".....

UKIP is appealing to the Left and Right who are both being squeezed by the major political parties and their insistence on EU membership that is crushing the small businesses and individuals in favor of the large businesses and a flood of cheap labor into the country.

We need a leader who can say this in the United States and defeat the Uniparty Republican and Democrat political machines that are doing the exact same thing.

The false political propaganda that creates an emotional atmosphere of big differences between the big parties must be fully exposed.

Do you do that to every acronym you encounter? Or is it only to those rare acronyms that actually represent a positive political movement?

The fear of UKIP is the same fear Democrats and Republicans have here—the frog in the boiling water analogy. Our elected representative don’t like the idea of having their treachery exposed and defeated.

Thank you! Nothing in the article. You obviously understood what I was doing. Seems some have little or no sense of humor.

The same was said of Ronald Reagan after 1976.

Nifel Farage is correct about UKIP — the Lobourites and Tories are a bunch if statist, socialist wussies.

UK Election Day is scheduled for May 7. The UK PM used to have considerable power to pick an election date but the new Fixed Term Parliament Act has changed that.

If Farage and the UKIP don’t win, the UK is finished.

As far as I can determine, Labour and the Tories are not so much different parties, but a uniparty conglomerate to give voters the false image of “choice” in elections. (We here in the US have the Democrats and RINOs [Republicans In Name Only] — that is, they are really Democrats but call themselves Republicans. That's code for progressives — socialists or communists.)

I applaud UKIP in their struggle against the forces of darkness. We TEA Party members and Conservatives are fighting a similar battle.

Suggestion: Don't automatically assume what you write is "funny."

Personally, it makes me smile to think that gassing all democrats is cheaper than shooting them, at current ammo prices. Apparently, a lot of people don't find the concept to be amusing, although the Left has been pushing the idea for years...
