UKIP

" I give yous props for dat phat rap man."

In the spirit of rousing discussion, I offer you this article by Russell Taylor, "In Praise of UKIP". I don't know who Russell Taylor is and I'm not a UKIP supporter by any stretch of the imagination, but he does make some pertinent points which might help explain today's electoral phenomenon.

aka, Gangsta Nan, love it!

feetle you sweet old-fashioned thing you! It's hardly street slang anymore having made its way into various learned dictionaries or perhaps I'm just a Gangsta Nan?

God help us if UKIP gain true power!

"Street cred?" Isn't that something gangsta rappers have, and kids with their trousers down below their underwear?

If this UKIP bunch are anything more than a flash in the pan, then we are all in trouble. Certainly nobody is voting for them because of their policies - they are too incoherent to say what they are, given that maybe they have some.

Is UKIP the new Liberals or Lib Dems now that the latter have lost all their street cred?
Does well in local elections but falls at the first fence in General Elections.

Wouldn't that mean the elected person would be pulled in every direction and would then just vote for what they believed in which would be either left, right or somewhere else. Or am I just a bit dense ? And I'm not actually sure what the UKIP policy is on things such as education, health etc. Or if they indeed have policies on these things.
