UKIP let the women speak

The tired old parties are also the male dominated parties and this is obvious from their testosterone led approach to politics. Witness the 'gladiators' on the leaders debate - we need to sent them a strong message because it will be mostly the women of the UK that have to manage us out of the financial mess we are in. Sorry to be a bit long winded but hope this helps you decide eeven at this last minute:
Henri Van der Stighelen ? UK Independence Party candidate, Ilford North

As the election campaign gets closer to the ?poll of polls? when the people speak, or at least a minority of them, it is worth reflecting on some key points.

Liberal Democrats have emerged as a credible third option and Gordon Brown looks increasingly unlikely to achieve an election victory or a mandate from the people that he has managed ?without? so far. David Cameron has surrendered his polish to content and through the glare of the leader?s debates we can see that the three tired old parties have some things in common: dishonesty, policy and a lack of credible solutions.

Never before have so many ?cats been let out? of the proverbial bag:

? They all agree publically that there is massive debt and swingeing cuts will have to follow the election
? Nick Clegg had a Eureka moment when he demanded that David admit that most so called immigrants were in fact EU citizens enjoying freedom of movement
? The old parties have between 15 and 25% planned cuts revealed ? you may expect labour with the information to be in the lead, but you would be wrong?
? Suddenly labour and conservative have had a ?death bed? conversion to electoral reform
? None of them will admit they will increase VAT and evade the question with the grace of a Latin American side shuffle.
? They all agree that Gordon did what so many of us sometimes do and say one thing but mean another. Of course they all agree. Decent people listen to others and try to understand points of view and debate, agree to disagree or take it on board. The old politicians see opposing views as signs of bigotry, ignorance or political incorrectness
? .. and aren?t we all glad we are not in Euro like poor old Greece ? whose best option is to come out of the Euro.

What is even more interesting is that the solutions they seek are already out there in the UKIP manifesto www.ukip.org read it for yourself:

? Swingeing cuts are necessary because they intend to send £120B to the EU
? UKIP have been ?full square? behind informing the people of Britain about the denial by the tired old parties of ?freedom of movement? for EU citizens putting the ?mass? into mass migration
? UKIP don?t need to reveal 15% of the recovery plan. Come out of the EU, continue to trade successfully and save £120B ? and that is 100%
? We are all saying electoral reform ? but let?s kill the myth of the wasted vote. We all now know that no party in the UK in 60 years came to power with more than about 20% of the people of Britain .. and we brought democracy to Iraq? Only a vote for something other than your belief is a wasted vote
? UKIP will scrap the EU VAT system and replace it with a Local Sales Tax that crucially supports local democracy
? The UKIP strap line is ?Straight Talk? ? unless of course we are not allowed to say that?
? And finally, the poor old Greeks may have to get out of the Euro ? we will fight to the end to avoid going in and continue to fight to the end to get out of the EU and begin the Real UK Recovery
? If ever there was a ?death bed? conversion it is the three tired old parties coming over to UKIP policies that are in the manifesto. Of course they won?t actually convert so the people will need to kick them out of the ?bed? with a vote for the UK Independence Party

Great question, I am asking women to vote for a man. I am asking women to vote for people who are men and not men who are people. The 3 amigos are men being men confronting each other and avoiding the really tough questions like 'how will we get out of the mess we are in'. This will take people skills not male skills. UKIP is not well represented by women especially in their leadership - and as a relatively new UKIP candidate will raise this issue - my view is we need women on merit and not on gender like the old labour party positive discrimination hoax.
