The smear campaign continues.

Channel 4 did offer Nigel Farage the chance to reply in an interview
with Jon Snow to be shown after the programme. He has declined the
offer.


NOT addressed to you Colin - but a general muttering...



Labour f*ck up the economy *every time*[1] they get in.

The tories f*ck everyone over including the NHS every time.

The Libs had their chance but sold their bumhole to the highest bidder
then spent the next years lying over a barrel.

The Greens f*ck everything up without even being in power.

Now - tell me again why UKIP (or any other fringe party) are somehow
worse that all this?...

They want to take us out of the EU for a start. They also don't seem to
have any polices, other than opposition to immigration and the EU.

First of all, they have more policies than any other party. So I am not
sure where you get the idea that they have no policies, unless you read
the Guardian


Secondly, name me one political party in the last 20 years that has
implemented the policies for which it got elected.

Thirdly, what dont you understand about libertarianism? It is a
philosophy that doesn't go for ideological pre-empting of future events:
It is a philosophy that preaches a small government adapting to
situations with pragmatic policies as the need arises, but not before.

UKIP should have as few policies as possible, and restrict itself to the
main thrust: To get rid of EU overlordship and restore power to national
government, and then to tackle serious issues on a rational basis as
they arise. And that's ALL the policy they need.


UKIP should not have a policy on everything. In fact it should have
almost no policy on anything. That's not a weakness, that's a strength.


That
is not enough of a basis to run a country. However, it is not whether
they are any worse, but why should anybody support them over one of the
mainstream parties unless they were significantly better?
