Personally I think his a one trick pony that has too much time on TV. Actually politicians have too much time on TV for one reason or another.

I think the way he , the millionaire ex broker who left Thatchers tory party as it was not right wing enough , manages to present himself as a man of the people is a master-stroke of marketing.//its either that or the general population are idiots.

He is a single issue right wing loon who values smoking anywhere above nonsense like Global warming.
He is a self important little englander who should not be allowed to pontificate on a parish council never mind let anywhere near actual power.

One of my least favourite personality types, terrified of the responsibility of having to have policies on every topic, but I'm pleased to have somebody like him stirring it just to stop idiots saying "they're all the bloody same".

Dangerous and dodgy. Like the rest of them really.

Especially the way he plays the game and media. Does anyone know what he exactly stands for and wants to change? Not that I think having any sort of policies to aim for is necessary in the UK politics of the day.

With the three parties converging on the centre ground he's hitting the Tory vote. This can only be a good thing, so long as he doesn't get many MPs voted in. It's a sad reflection on UK politics that so many voters are looking for an effective protest vote. Dave has to take a large share of the blame for this.

Now if only there were a Labour equivalent, a grassroots working man's Labour Party.

He sent me a letter telling me that we thought the same way about things. This means he has super powers as we have never met or communicated in anyway. This alone worries me let alone the policies he has or hasn't worked out.

I think he is secretly a really smart bloke, but working under deep cover under the pay of labour and conservatives, his mission being to present such a completely ludicrous political 'alternative' that the main parties are mistaken for serious and sensible voting options.

My views are neither positive nor (mostly) repeatable here.

Had to laugh when I heard that their new 'slogan' is 'Love Britain? Vote UKIP' was also used by the BNP.

Xenophobic morons who give Britain a [s]bad[/s] worse name.

I'm ashamed to be associated with the same country as Nigel Farrage, UKIP et al.

A grandstanding pillock of the first order. The fact that Millipede and call me Dave have contrived to give him a base of one-issue support is testament to both those parties refusal to face up to the European question.

He's a tosser, he'd be quite fun if there weren't so many people keen to follow him.

I loved the last big Scottish poll- UKIP "surged" to 7%, by taking 2% of the 2.5% decrease in the Tory vote. This was declared to be a lurch to the right, mystifyingly. Meanwhile the SNP stretched out their majority, and Labour also gained. But Farage, knowing ****-all about anything, declared this to be a great success that showed "dissatisfaction with the 2 main parties".

I've got one vote to 'spend' in the next election and I can't decide whether to cast it for New Labour Labour, New Labour Conservitives, or New Labour Liberals?

This is why Farage is gaining ground, you couldn't get a fag paper between the three main parties and their career politicians. People are looking for an alternative that actually speaks for them, not at them.

God help us!

He's tapped into the island mentality. On the face of it, it all sounds like a good thing: putting the bureaucracy of Europe on a warning. Its just when you actually look at them it starts to look unworkable.
Some of the people he's got as a party officials have shown themselves to be quite uninformed.

Until you realise most of this "bureaucracy of Europe" stuff is a lie spread by the Mail and the Telegraph. Then even that little bit of supposed sense disappears, and you realise just how much of a racist **** Farage is.

He's very bright - he's tapped into the nastier side of the British/English national character but he's done it in a way which comes across as reasonable rather than the reality of his beliefs which is pure xenophobia.

But fundamentally he's just a populist chancer taking advantage of our current difficulties to get popular even though he's no serious intention to run the country - he'll fade away when people realise he's all mouth and no trouser. I think he's just infantile - enjoying getting a reaction from the liberal and tolerant faction.

The only reason to worry about him IMO is he'll tear the Tory vote apart which means we're more likely to get another hung Parliament and coalition rather than a strong government next term.

He was a guest speaker at a dinner I attended and he speaks pretty well and whilst I wouldn't want him to move any further to gaining power I think his party raises some good challenges to our relationship to the European gravy train which should/ need to be addressed by the 'proper' parties - for the record he certainly wasn't banging on about immigration etc it was more about what we put into the EU compared with what we got out- although it was aimed at a target market of businessmen so he obviously saw this as something that would resonate

He also was selling ukip tea towels which I thought was 'different'

He's the face of the Tory party about 50 years ago.

😕 50 years ago the Tory Party was a social-democratic party which, built affordable council houses on a massive scale, believed in a mixed economy in which all the utilities, and other sectors such as public transport, were in public hands, had an indisputable commitment to a universal welfare state, and actively recruited foreign labour to work in the UK.

Indeed by today's standard as they would be dismissed as 'left-wing extremists' by everyone from the Daily Mail to Tony Blair.

In contrast UKIP stand in complete position to all those values and believe that, despite this present government being more right-wing than even Thatcher, it still isn't right-wing enough and this justifies them forming a separate party.

How can anyone misread those glaring facts so easily ?

Perhaps this lack of understanding helps to explain why politics in Britain is in such dire straights and there appears to be not a glimmer of light at the end of the very long dark tunnel that we are very clearly in 🙁

Sadly he's making the Tories even more extreme by appealing to all the closet racists / 'string em ups' in the Tory ranks...

I disparage Farage.

I'd imagine that's not new but I haven't seen much coverage from Australia, and surely it can't go unsaid on this thread.

Also, is that the UKIP logo with a £ sign? It looks straight off a Pound shop.

I, for one, salute his plain speaking, right thinking, and pint drinking. I salute his true grit it sticking up two fingers to Brussels and giving Strasbourg what for. I admire his pluck, spunk and drive. He stands up for hard working British people and UK Plc together. He's for cutting red tape and traditional British values. Farage is a man who will get the job done and make sure it's fit for purpose. He wants hand ups, not hand outs. He wants people to get their fair share when they need it, not entitlements. I salute his indefagitability.

He is a politician and has spotted the only gap left in the market; that of plain speaking John Bull, the Englishman's Englishman.

He is, of course, a complete and utter self serving shite.

It makes him exactly the same as every other party leader, but with the need to continue to be the Englishman's Englishman, with all that implies for the future direction of the country.

Basically, it's 'I don't like darkies' in a Barbour jacket.

He's a bulbous throbbing bell end of truly biblical proportions. However, he's performing a very useful, possibly invaluable, social function in making it less likely (despite Eds best efforts) that the Tories will get a parliamentary majority.

So bloody good luck to him!

Posted 3 hours ago

I don't think that explains your political persuasions quite clearly at all.

I don't understand, would you choose "that odd looking guy with the Lithuanian Marxist dad" or what ?

And why wouldn't you "even have to think about it" ? Don't you like thinking ?

If this according to you represents "an argument" then I suggest you work on it and give it some more thought 💡
