Local election voting intentions
i will be voting this time as our conservative candidate it a complete bellend, he wants to spend £1.2million improving a roundabout to help the traffic, when all it needs is 5 HUGE SIGNS SAYING INDICATE IT DOES HELP. OR BETTER STILL .
DON'T LEAVE IT TO GUESSWORK AND CAUSE TRAFFIC PROBLEMS INDICATE. they have allready spend £150.000 on a large collection on slate slabs for said roundabout but cant afford to fun a school for disabled kids, its crap like this that need someone with a degree in common sense not politics

I think UKIP will do well although the Tories have done a pretty good job at rubbishing them, with some justification. I sympathise with their Europe stance but as for running a council they would be better running the proverbial at a brewery.

All the bad mouthing of UKIP by Cameron and co just says somewhat that UKIP has Conservative a tad worried.
If something wasn't a threat,you wouldn't feel the need to belittle them to the press etc.
Maybe it were a bit of a joke at first,but i reckon UKIP will give Cameron a bit of a kicking.We know that most or would say majority of the nation is fed up of the bull **** coming from the main two.
Only way it may go **** up for UKIP is if come voting time,the voters lose the courage and go back to voting for the same old lot.....

The Times has a great piece on UKIP incoherent policies today, I think they say they are a 'pantomine party with pantomine policies', sonething like that anyway

The Times certainly are biased, they're a Murdoch owned publication afterall. That said Murdoch is about as anti-EU as is possible.
Go figure
btw - the real bias is here, if SN was representative then we'd have to put up with Farage's smiling mug on the steps of Downing Street in a couple of years. Now if that doesn't give even the most ardent euro-sceptic indigestion nothing will.

Leslie is right!
And no amount of hand-wringing is going to justify your apathy. If you want to change something do something to make a change (like standing as an independent).

UKIP make a great 'protest vote' party (for a bunch of clowns and nutters). They'll just split the right and far-right vote. And none of them have a clue what their other policies are.

Why would Farage being in power give Eurosceptics indigestion?

Why, so i can be forced to work under the same system that every government current and previous has ? In my life i have lived and worked under Torys, Labour and now a coalition. One thing i have seen is they are all the same apart from the colour rosette. The differances between party's in power is nothing more than slight tinkering within our traditional system. Nothing really changes apart from where taxed more and we have more freedoms taken away.
What was the difference between Conservative and new Labour? What's the difference between new labour and the coalition ? The saying goes "if it aint broken don't fix it". Trouble is it is broken.
You ask why i don't stand myself ? Do you think i would seriously be able to start a party and knock the old boys club off their perch ? And if i did, would i really be allowed to make radical change? Maybe in some democratic utopia but unlikely in the uk.
The only way to force REAL change is don't vote or waste your vote. The system needs votes to exist.

I don't agree that witholding your vote is the answer though.

Not entirely sure that there would be much alcohol left if you put Farage in charge of a brewery

I am voting UKIP as the three main parties have nothing to offer except lies and ways to line their own pockets.
I don't agree with everything UKIP stand for, but at least they genuinely seem to believe what they say is the right thing for the country and not just themselves. I alss no longer see being half in the European experiment as we currently are as being beneficial to the UK and I suspect and hope there will be many more like me.

Time the main parties got a shake up, and I think the surge in support for UKIP is going to tell them they need to start listening to the electorate.

I find it quite interesting that several self confessed "left leaning" posters on here are going to be voting UKIP - fair play to you. Maybe the fact of being a "new" party with no baggage attached is in their favour?
Mind you, opposing the EU is a cross party position, in fact in the 70s, was official Labour policy

I am a socialist at heart, but socialism can only ever work if it is combined with honesty and responsibility. None of the main parties are remotely socialist and they are certainly not honest or responsible therefore I will vote for the party that I think a) believes what it says and b) seems to realise this European political experiment isn't working.
i will vote this time for a change. but still think it makes little difference, ask yourself this question, IF YOU WHERE ON LOADS OF MONEY AND HAD NOTHING TO PAY FOR AT ALL , SECOND HOME FOR FREE ETC, would you care about the little people who put you there, if your answer is no then you know why this country is such a mess,
