Interesting report from the BBC Website.

I have been accused in the past of being disingenuous by describing UKIP as BNP-lite but this link clearly demonstrates that some voters at least, have deserted the BNP for UKIP.

Perhaps dave was right after all..."fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists"

Parties collect supporters from all over. Folk with a problem with their party will clutch at any reason why they have a problem. I think you are still setting yourself up for accusations.

[Svejk]

well i never.

Has it occured to you that the BNP voters that now may vote UKIP are not racist but have found a party that understands their need for national identity etc but without the jackbooted racist yob element!?

[youngmafbog]

You must admit Mickey you do have an obsession with UKIP.

I am not surprised some leave BNP for UKIP. I strongly suspect there are a number of people concerned with immigration, doesnt mean they are racist, and had no where else to go but the likes of the BNP.

UKIP is not the BNP in any shape or form so those who dislike the racist side of the BNP may well moive to a party they feel represents them.

Seem to hace been writing at the same time there cassa!

[ToraToraTora]

well whatever they are you seem to be absolutely terrified mikey! It must be disturbing having a whole party that exist to disagree with your views in at least one area. I know the left hate any opposing view but you seem to have turned it into an obsession.

[Gromit]

That isn't evidence of anything. The BNP became unelectable so its voters moved on. Most people voted for them as a protest vote and now there is a more attractive party to vote for to protest.

Having seen the EDL in the flesh, many of its ranks are full of the hardcore racist nutters which led to the BNPs demise. That is because they are the same nutters. The EDL accommodated ex BNP more that UKiP have.

And?

[anotheoldgit]

You must have that foot seen to mikey.

[brionon]

Mikey -you know you are right when you are attacked by the Right !

[youngmafbog]

Hey Gromit, welcome to the ranks of the right !! :-)

My utter disdain for UKIP knows no bounds and I won't be put off by a lot of Tory supporters from saying so. The ultra right are on the move all over Europe, as can be seen from the results from France. We ignore the rise of the ultra right at our peril, as has been seen in recent European history. They appeal to the same base instincts that other ultra right parties have always done...fear of foreigners being the prime reason.

The aspect that I don't really understand about people who profess to like UKIP so much that they are considering voting for them, is that they appear to have no real knowledge of what UKIP stands for. That UKIP has a zero chance of winning the next General Election just adds to the mystery. Why would so many people want to vote for a Party that can't win an Election ? Even Farage himself acknowledges that he can't and won't win in May 2015. What is the point ? There are only two Parties that have ever, in modern times, had a real chance of winning an Election and forming the next Government, and UKIP isn't one of them ! Voting for UKIP will be like peeing yourself while wearing dark trousers...it might give you a warm feeling, but nobody will notice the difference.

Some of the people interviewed in the link above said that they have previously voted Labour. So, why on earth would they transfer their allegiance from a left-of-centre Party, to a far right Party ?

If there isn't enough reason to dislike UKIP already, how about this link to the DM

There must be some reasoning behind this rather strange statement, but I think one must have to lean to the left to make sense of it.

Couldn't the same be said for the base instincts of the ultra left, fear of anyone who opposes their thinking, along with their fear of free speech and democracy.

Talking from experience are you mikey?

Yes why bother with a wet back when you are accustomed to wet pants? :0)

[Peter Pedant]

Is the answer not to allow anyone to vote if you dont like their politics ?

O by the way I dont think you were being disingenuous....(OP)

or in what way were you being disingenuous.....

[mikey4444]

Yeah, maybe aog but the Labour Party didn't invade Poland.

This link will explain better than I can, the connections between UKIP and the ultra-right :::

How proud Farage must be to sit amongst such a worthy lot. It is said that to sup with the Devil, you need a long spoon. Farage must be in possession of the spoon with the longest handle in history in that case.

Perhaps potential UKIP voters need to do some research before they put their crosses on any ballot papers. Education is everything.

[Peter Pedant]

voters being able to read - or indeed doing so....
that is a good one


in the contested Bush election ( hanging chads etc)
one v pro Israeli ward was found to have voted for a far right candidate
and the explanation was: all the OAPs had been advised.....
now remember vote for the one in the bottom right had corner....
