is there a better speaker and man of the people than Nigel Farrage at the moment?

Farage on occassions isn't the best communicator. UKIP need some more credible individuals to front the organisation.

Like Galloway they would both be plausible in the engine room stoking the boiler but they need a credible mouthpiece to to put into political bull. They are too blunt.

How many policies did UKIP have?
How many policies did the other parties combined have?

Whoops - another slip of the tounge by me, it should actually read more policies than either Tory, Labour, or Lib Dems.

So sue me.

But yes it is so.

And i'm not going to go count. If you want to do so - knock yourself out.

Ok no worries, it was probably a slip of the tongue, yes.
Where can I find out how many policies each party had at the last election? You must have had a source for it?

I said quite a while ago that I was going to turn to UKIP to upset the apple cart, just to have the usual suspects on here having a pop.
I am naturally a left of centre type of bloke that has in the past(and still do slightly) had time for a lot of socialism, more of your Alan Bleasdale though than Lennin.

But politics stopped talking to me personally when John Smith died, and as much as I prayed for her downfall at least with Maragret Thatcher you got want it said on the tin love her or hate her.

Politicians from all parties today sing from the same song sheet, they will stop you in the street "Mm Mm yes yes" and then go and do whatever they ******* want.

Nigel Farrage as appealing and likable will not form a Government, but it is an opportunity at last for people to shout "You are not listening, and now I have given up on you and going to make you pay"

Eastleigh will be interesting, and the Europeans even more so, and I think as a general election creeps up Mr David Cameron will have to cosy up a lot more to Nige than Nick.

i wonder if there is a televised debate, if Nige will be asked to attend

At the moment for me he is the only one that makes any sense that is until the other two parties issue their manifestos nearer to the Election.

None of the other two are in touch with reality at the moment.

Cameron will do everything he can to avoid that.

Do you know what Mr Picklepoo I don't have a source for it - I just remember it as part of my general knowledge.

I am pretty sure I am correct though, but if you want to spend all day digging something out to prove me wrong then that's up to you. I have better things to do with my time.

If we have to substantiate every single point we make - life would get a little ridiculous.

The point is that UKIP are far more than a one trick pony and don't focus soley on Europe or Immigration as certain people would have you believe.

Nige and BoJo may seem good but I think this is due to lack of competition.

I guess it depends if you really mean "good speaker" or "great orator"! I cannot think of any active politicians in the LibDems, Labour or Conservatives I would call a great orator.

The best around in my view are Alerx Salmon and George Galloway.

We should not forget, UKIP are a party of Rich Businessmen that do not like the EU rules that give workers legal rights.
That is what they area against, they like all political parties represent those who fund them.
That is not "the people".

Well chosen name - that's one of the spaciest comments I've seen here in a while (which is saying something!).

UKIP is hated by 'rich businessmen' who, for the most part, adore the EU as it lets them run cosy little cartels that rob the public blind. Why else do you suppose the CBI is such an enthusiastic lobbier for the EU? Why else do dyed in the wool statist capitalists like Heseltine and Clarke worship at the shrine of Brussels?

Until recently UKIPs supporters tended to comprise disgruntled 'other ranks'., though that seems to be changing.
