For once again taking something Nigel Farage has said out of context and using it to his parties detriment.
Maybe we can stop paying a high price to spin doctors/PR gurus to diss the other party and concentrate on promoting your own policies and views...
Maybe we can focus on pushing this country or ward rather these school boy antics.
Why is british politics so bloody frustrating!!!

That's what spin doctors do.
If you wish to take an interest in politics you need to learn to see behind the spin (which I presume you've done as you've noticed it occurring).
I very much doubt that British politics is any worse than any other in this respect.There are two types of people in the world: Those that can extrapolate information.0 -
You don't need to take Mr Farage out of context to repeat some silly things he has said nor do you need to put a spin on it(not that this stops the spin, of course).0

Typical Lib/Lab/Cons when they haven't got an answer to a point they resort to cheap public school boy slanging matches. Their favorite song, 'Running Scared'.0

Why listen to anything said by any of them. It's not as if they'll do any of it.0

Both Tory and Labour have hired in overseas campaign specialists who are happy to use negative tactics.
For me, if I see a blatant smear, then I count it as a demerit against the originator(s).0 -
This is why UKIP won't succeed. Not because of their policies, but because they don't resort to the underhand tactics that the 3 major parties use. They're a bit naive in thinking that being honest and speaking your mind is what gets you votes, far better to say one carefully crafted script in public and do something different when in power.
Saying that, I'll still be voting for conservatives for selfish reasons, some of their policies are earning my company a small fortune and I'm putting my family first before any ideals.0 -

Sadly so will a lot of other rich people. This is what the conservatives do, look after the rich and s*d the workers!!0 -

Of course, UKIP are still likely to take more votes from the Conservatives than Labour - despite what some spin doctors would have us believe.
If Labour win the next election it won't be the Sun 'wot done it', but it may well have something to do with UKIP.There are two types of people in the world: Those that can extrapolate information.0
