UKIP Voters Don't Know How To Use The Internet
22nd June 2014
UKIP voters are disconnected because many cannot send and receive emails, use search engines or browse the internet, Labour’s shadow business secretary has suggested.
Chuka Umunna said that ‘a lot’ of people who voted for the party in its European elections victory were not computer literate and did not have basic online skills.
He promised that a Labour government would be ‘absolutely focused’ on connecting people who have been alienated from the wider economy.
Speaking on the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show, Mr Umunna, 35, said: ‘We’ve got to empower our people.
‘The BBC has carried out some very interesting research on this. One in five people in our economy cannot do the four basics online of sending and receiving an email, browsing the internet, filling in an online form.
‘Now there’s been a lot of talk about communities who’ve been disconnected from our global economy and those of course were a lot of those who were voting for UKIP in the local and European elections.
’And of that mass of people who can’t do the things that all of us take for granted, a very large number of them are from those communities.
‘So the next Labour Government, we are going to be absolutely focused on connecting people into the global economy, so they can realise their dreams and aspirations.’
Last month, the UK Independence Party became the first party other than the Conservatives or Labour to win a national election since 1906 when it surged to victory in the European elections.
The party led by Nigel Farage also picked up more than 100 council seats from Labour, the Tories and Lib Dems.
