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...
Brilliant post Iain,

I'm ashamed to admit that a UKIP clown (Roger Helmer)has just been re-elected as MEP in my region and will contest the Newark parliamentary by-election next week in abid to become UKIP's first MP, now that Nigel Farrage has lost interest in using the region as a political stepping stone.

Helmer publicly claimed that there is nothing wrong with disliking people because they are gay.

I find it difficult to believe that so many people are duped by Farrage et al, whose entire raison d'etre is to mess up the UK then disappear, and are prepared to put their faith in this type of pillock.
