I think the one UKIP MP would be a great addition to a Tory coalition.

The joke here is that he's UKIP's only MP because he defected from the Conservatives. He managed to win his constituency by-election and retain his seat because its voters didn't like how the last guy had been running things and thought it was time for a change.

The referendum was called precisely because UKIP put an immense amount of pressure on the Tories from the right. UKIP never pulled anything close to as many Labour voters into the tent as they did Conservatives.

Here's a decent rundown of where their support comes from.

Rural England was never a Labour heartland.

gently caress the UK either way though it's the 4th.

I said Farage, not UKIP. You're correct on UKIP turnout; their only MP is posh as gently caress iirc

I'm not sure why we need official studies to determine that supporters of a man who built his campaign on antagonizing Mexicans, Muslims, and insulting the race/gender/sexuality of everyone who disagrees with him are a bunch of racist morons. Not even getting into his inability to so much as denounce KKK endorsements.

He's pretty open about it is what I'm saying.

Because there are people - on this very forum, no less - who'll argue the opposite at you until you're a shriveled husk.

Like, I get we have to consider all opinions and beliefs but come the gently caress on, America - the dude is pigshit.

Well yeah, the UK just voted to leave a political union with its biggest trading partner to gently caress over brown people and poles and is in the middle of a huge upswing in hate crimes and both parties are rolling around in the poo poo on the floor. The Tories are imploding because the idiot secessionist leaders realized they don't want to be the ones to publicly push the gently caress Our Economy and Young People button. Labour is in civil war because the Blairites regard any shift in the winds as justification to knife Corbyn.


Maybe you'd have a point if the entire UK government wasn't involved in a clown car crash right now.

Why would you ever want to gently caress over Poles? The story of Poland is the story of what makes America great. Hell, I say we make Pulaski Day a national holiday, god damnit.

He did gently caress Rachel. If you believe anything printed by the Jacksonian press, I'd say you should believe them when it comes to Rachel's face.

Electing judges is the worst and dumbest possible way to fill the judiciary and I wish it was illegal on all levels in the US because direct election of judges ensures maximum awfulness and (more) corruption.

Wrong. He was elected unopposed:

Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Aaron Persky would have faced voters Tuesday, but his election was canceled because he drew no challengers

Which is a big part of the problem with electing judges

$200k is, like, 1/10th the cost of a primary campaign in boonsville usa. In the grand scheme of things, its nothing - its, like, a state house seat at the most, and those are a loving dime a dozen.

The real crime is that Republicans have made it so that when Democrats take back the house we cannot help but run every loving committee as a means to gain political intelligence on loving over the Republicans.
