Been a lot on the TV about various UKIPper being "racist".

Xenophobia does seem to be the core of what little policy they have, so

it would be surprising if they did not attract racists.



Whatever the curent government do or don't do that ****es off the

general public is a good thing for an opposition party to pander to,

it's just that UKIP seem to be partically good at this, not that it's

hard to point out the errors of the current govenrment or the idiocy of

the labour policies.



But also, where's the clear blue water between the parties ? All have the
same stance on the EU, for example.

I don;t think they have the same stance.


It's akin to going into a shop wanting (say) C&B beans. Shop only stocks
Heinz. Go to another shop. Same. And a third. Same again. These 3 shops
can hardly start complaining, if a fourth shop opens up selling Heinz
beans, and takes custom from the other 3.

What if that shop buys C&B beans and puts a Heinz label on that how will you know until after you've brought them cooked and tasted them ?
