Ukip

I voted for them, there's no other way of getting immigration under control. In 50yrs time there'll be nothing for anyone in this country with immigration at the current rate. We don't have the land nor the infrastructure to support it, the only way is out and to take our chances with the economic situation that will result.

A massive spending program to put a framework in place for the sharp increase in population would offset the strain on resources such as the NHS and housing, but with the threat of progressively severe financial crashes in the future it won't happen. None of the main 3 are gutsy enough to deal with what lies ahead, it would be a PR disaster for them.

I'd actually totally understand if some sort of revolution led to the UK becoming an 'extreme right authoritarian' country; it might be the only thing that will save the place from the results of inaction.

Terrifying..

This is just fear inducing nonsense.. the immigrant strain on the NHS.. how about those pesky immigrants who actually keep it running..

It is totally overblown how much support UKIP got, you are talking about 1 in 15 of the total population, so whats that 1 in 10 of the voting population...

Turn out was as usual low so its those that want change who vote, voter apathy is high as usual.

They may not be a racist homophobic party but they attract racist homophobic voters and members hence why I am quite confident they will continually shoot themselves in the foot.. I see Farage has said he will bow out of politics once the UK is out of the EU, which won't happen anyway, but presumably that's because he'd then have **** all clew on what to do next and the country would be screwed...

It won't happen though, industry/business will pressure its workforce and make them realise the only option is staying in the EU and pushing for reform... its like Scottish Independence, as it gets closer companies will pressure towards the NO vote as issues such as the currency, lack of LoLR will be too much of a risk...
