What's your reasons for voting UKIP?...

I myself can't see any, I did thinks of the referendum on EU, but if successful and we pulled out of Europe,,that would most likely leave workers on the NMW exploited and at the mercy of that party.

It's a strange thing they call themselves UKIP as they seem to want an independent England, more patriotic sounding than anything else,month ing wrong with independence, but not when your party bears the name United Kingdom Independence Party, well Farage was sensibly ignored up here.

UKIP would most likely see this country without a welfare system, so if there aren't enough jobs to go around and no unemployment benefit , what then?..crime would be sky high.


Perhaps many have turned to UKIP because of their resentment of immigrants?


...I think all or most of the above are people's main reason , maybe a UKIP voter on here can tell me their reasons and if indeed any of my 'guesses' are correct?

   THE "UKIP"'s nearest equivalent down here was the now-near-defunct "Pauline Hanson's One Nation" party...

QUITE similar in that it had a noisy and stupid extreme RW-Wing figurehead leader who eventually showed their gross ignorance and total lack of answers; it was similarly largely based on recruiting the lowest fascist dregs of society - those poor and aimless lost RW-Wing-extremists who consider the current Tories to be a bunch of traitorous Pinkos who sold out to the Dark Side several years ago - while the Labour party is a Trotskyite-Communist-Socialist-Fabian abomination whose main aim is destroy modern civilisation and drag us all back to the stone age; with the core Party Policies revolving around a xenophobic anti-immigration and stand-alone "don't trust politicians" approach..     

IF they ever gained control,they eventually would have :
destroyed the economy;
destroyed the currency;
abolished welfare systems;
abolished trade unions;
abolished the "minimum age";
removed workers protection laws;
removed environmental protection;
downgraded education standards.

IN EFFECT, the outcome would pretty much have been the same as what Britain could expect IF the UKIP ever gained ascendency in your country, JD..  ::sexbnan: 

ONE thing that I do know about the typical One Nation/UKIP voter is that they are a largely mindless and non-thinking bunch, prone to using such terms as "I don't necessarily agree with everything they say ~ but they DO have some good ideas..", "Yes, but..", "They are the answer to ALL our problems", "My children/grandchildren missed out on uni' because of foreign students !" (rather than because of their inherited stupidity..), "who needs science/maths/history/schooling in general.." to get on in life !
And so it goes, on and on..

WHERE their common traits seems to be their overwhelming ignorance and anti-social, anti-democratic and distrustful leanings...   ::rambo::

Wrong.

THE typical UKIP voters would probably include the likes of Shady, Drinky, L'ilAndy, Smelly, Tess ???

ASSUMING that they were in the country and eligible to vote during the elections..

...in all honesty, I think you summed that up very well BK, for that certainly is the impression they give off, as well as their obvious agenda with unemployed folk and immigrants.

Never could understand anyone who thinks that a minimum wage and trade unions are a bad thing.

I did think the same when I saw it!

I think its probably a protest vote, people think that the main parties don't care what they think or want and just carry on regardless, many people feel they have lost any control, whether actual or perceived on what happens to and in this country. They are not for the most part bigot ridden racists, I expect there are some, neither are they all stupid, just people worried that their way of life is being constantly eroded by various edicts from a centralised and unelected elite without a by or leave, they voted, at least those around at the time, to join a common market not a United States of Europe in all its dubious glory and most of us do not wish to become an area of Europe, this country like others has a proud history of its peoples and to be turned into a numbered area is too much for most and to be completely left off official E. U. maps as Wales and not just once, has puts the tin hat on it (as my dad used to say) for many.

An excellent post, the EU represents something we're not, we're not federalists because we're British, living on a small island we've learnt to live together after beating the crap out of each other for over 1500 years, we've intervened in Europe but only to remind others we're the top dog, some of us might not like what we've become, and like Europe we're slowly becoming more civilised, but when you actually visit Europe and if you live there amongst them, then you'll know that Europe is as alien a concept to the British people as the Facade chap, my only worry is, the more people mock UKIP and ridicule what it stands for, the stronger it becomes!

And he didn't even need to put that one word, because it appears the rest of you can't resist coming on and listing a load of old cobblers, nasty abuse about the stereotypical UK voter.

And is it Bee - "UKIP are all undemocratic whose kids are stupid"?

Of course, not all UKIP supporters and politicians are exactly like the ones who say such retarded, insane and hateful things. They just don't mind.

A Prime Minister greets his supporters.

I'm not happy with the title - gaffe. Gets caught out expressing his feelings would have been better.
