We're having elections? Yawn. Nothing will change.

I'd like to see UKIP get in for sh*ts and giggles though.

I voted Lib Dem for my local council, Tory 1st choice for London assembly, Lib Dem 2nd choice, Tory for European Elections.

While I do want a referendum on Europe and some years ago used to vote UKIP in the European elections I don't like the recent focus on immigration and feel they've got some fairly low quality candidates given some of the comments they've been coming out with. If Cameron gives a referendum and can substantially renegotiate our relationship with Europe then I'd be happier with that.

Only reason I voted yesterday was to try and make sure UKIP didn't get in.

Won't vote UKIP in GE. Will vote Tory as any sensible person will.

Why would voting Tory be sensible?

Because they're the only party that helps out the working man? Do you pay tax? Do you like paying it to support eastern Europeans who have never contributed? Or lazy white men who'd rather thieve? Labour are a party whose support base are the unemployed and immigrants, so they'll never do anything to erode that, ie help the likes of me and you.

I couldn't work out who was voting UKIP, very surprised to see some of the offenders here.

I get that its a rebellious vote in an election that has less direct impact on us than others, but there are still a huge number of reasons not to vote for them.

My main issue is the pressure it will put on the main parties to create even harsher populist policies on LEGAL migration which is already being detrimentally restricted in order to appease the masses.

Given how many retards are voting 'blind' in these elections, l would have hoped the smarter sample set we have here would assist in trying and show that we're not a nation full of poorly educated racist sheep.

I was surprised when I went and voted the kinds of people I passed talking about voting UKIP.

I've committed an offence? goodness me I thought we lived in a democracy for a moment, I'll pop down to the police station and hand myself in post-haste.

Even harsher? We have a completely open door to anyone in the EU, infact the detrimental restrictions of which you speak would surely and are imposed upon none EU members unfairly (because the UK can actually control those) due to unrealistic immigration targets being set by the government.

I don't think immigration numbers are realistic and sustainable, it makes no sense to me that the UK has no idea of numbers and can't plan infrastructure for the next 5 minutes never-mind the next 1/2/3 years, I think that any foreign criminal should not have the right to just show up and live here and it makes me laugh that unelected bureaucrats have such a huge say on the running of this country.

So amongst other reasons I voted for UKIP because I think that the current system is absurd, immigrants are absolutely key to the UK for sure, but I find it farcical the UK has no control over its own borders to such a wide cross section of very economically poor countries.




We probably live in vastly different areas and have totally different upbringings but I can assure you I'm neither racist or a sheep.

For the record I will likely return to abstaining from voting going forward, personally I find myself in a disconnect from both current Labour and Conservative policies, but I'll happily peruse the upcoming manifestos (yes including UKIPs)

Oh and any party that says they're going to reform or abolish TTIP and do something about the shocking lack of prosecution in the financial sector, with massive too big to fail banks/ers causing chaos with impunity will likely get my vote.

1. UKIP want to leave the EU because they don't believe its good for the country. How is that racist? Oh wait, it's not. It's just a good cop out insult for morons.

2. What's wrong with restricting legal migration? Are we short of unemployed people? No one minds computer programmers coming in, but is the country lacking in qualified checkout assistants? Have you ever been served by a Brit in a Pret a Manager?

3. The fact we can't deport criminals because its against their human rights? f**k right off.

4. I don't believe the EU and the UK are on the same wavelength culturally. That goes for rich nations like France as well. They want time off and social policies. We want lower tax and a focus on business.

5. UKIP won't win jack sh*t at the election, we just want them to force Dave into being more anti EU and then boom - a nice Tory majority at the next election.
