[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

 The UKIP may well be starting to appeal to a relatively small  number of disillusioned Tory voters. This is hardly surprising as the "make do and mend" government we have at present is wholly ineffectual.

Unfortunately, I believe that the main problem for UKIP is old shouty Nige himself. There is an old saying. "Those who speak (shout) the most often have the least to say". This sums up Farage perfectly.

He is often seen as nothing more than an irritating nonentity by more senior statesmanlike politicians.

However, Nick, I do agree with you on one point. I too, think that his star is rising.

I'm going to vote UKIP as I'm totally fed up with all the other useless tossers!

Unfortunately, Opti, (and as we have seen to our cost), "statesmanlike" is no longer synonymous with moral turpitude. The reason such "senior" politicians see him as irritating is the fact that he represents a danger to them: their gravy trains may get derailed.

I am, was, a lifelong tory. Have voted for them every general and local election bar one time when I voted for a local independant as I know him.

I have allready cast my postal vote. For the first time ever I have voted UKIP. The reason being I wanted change in the last general election and I got no change. In fact I see this current govt as no different to the last govt.

Will I vote tory again ? probably not. I will now be supporting anyone but lib/lab/con. Protest vote ? maybe, but they have all signalled they are spineless bottom feeders who should be put out of our misery.
