UKIP's colouring book comment - who votes for these idiots?

'Will we get one before the GE?'

It's touch and go. Personally I wouldn't put money on it unless Farage was in charge of it.

But it matters little. Everyone knows what UKIP stand for - the people against the elite.

Do ukip have a manifesto published yet? I believe the answer is nope. Will we get one before the GE?

This is why there is so much odium and misrepresentation and scaremongering about Farage.

"Labour candidate: we face 'existential threat' from Ukip in south"

www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/feb/17/labour-candidate-existential-threat-ukip-south-working-class

They never faced an "existential crisis" from the Tories and the Bullingdon Club, but now they are in a battle with a party that represents the people and with a leader who is so politically incorrect that he will dare to say the truth.

I feel sorry for them, but their Oxbridge training can't save them from Farage and the truth.

SinisterBunnyMonth, those are not his policies. That is how his policies are being characterised by Labour who are terrified by the reaction and warming to UKIP that their canvassers find at the door when they meet the people.

They know that Farage is likely to rip chunks out of their vote and that is why they try to scare people by misrepresenting what Farage stands for.

The great Peter Oborne summed it up

"Mr Farage deserves to be celebrated. Instead strenuous attempts have been made to turn him into a figure of odium and contempt."

That is all they have got left, they are in the last chance saloon, Farage is their nemesis and election day looms.

It is not just me who understands how important Farage has been for our democracy, how he has shaken the entire Establishment and the Oxbridge class that it has promoted and who serve it above the people. One of our greatest political commentators, Peter Oborne, gets it.

Farage has blown politics wide open, he has represented the people and has terrified the Oxbridge elite. I have said that a lot of the rest of UKIP's spokespeople are not that good and couldn't terrify a mouse let alone the entire Establishment and heir Oxbridge management team. The reason is very simple. The quality that makes Farage great and scares the living daylights out of the Bullingdon Club is that Farage is not politically correct.

"Whether or not Ukip wins, this month’s European election campaign has belonged to one politician alone: Nigel Farage. Single-handedly he has brought these otherwise moribund elections to life. Single-handedly he has restored passion, genuine debate and meaning to politics. Single-handedly he has reinvented British democracy. This is a superlative achievement, and Mr Farage deserves to be celebrated. Instead strenuous attempts have been made to turn him into a figure of odium and contempt."

One of the key truths that Farage said last night shows why they are so terrified of Farage. UKIP's Suzanne Evans couldn't terrify them because she doesn't really understand, but Farage gets it, he understands the game.

Farage said something like "They are all the same. For some unfathomable reason, I just can't understand, they all want to spend billions of taxpayer money on foreign aid".

I am sure Farage understands why and they worry that he, the outsider,the only one who disagrees with their consensus, may tell the people why. Cameron wanted to limit Farage's time and he succeeded. But there are still 35 days to go, and Farage is not politically correct and will speak his mind and that is what scares them.

The reason I alk "50% of the time" is because other posters asjk me 50% or more of the questions and I reply.

'I find the blind idolising of Farage very alarming. I haven't spent all my life in the UK'

You don't understand that I am exaggerating to have a laugh, you don't understand that I am "not disgusted with the Oxbridge elites", I understand that that is how the system works and they are who the system promotes. I highlight how it is because I think it could be better by allowing the voice and participation of more ordinary people, just like in Labour's old days when miners and dockers and Nye Bevan etc were in power, when social mobilit was better and people were represented by a boader section of the population than now. I think Oxbridge is a great place, I just mock and have laugh about the "teenage whiizzkids from Oxbridge who are out of touch".

'the places where people speak about a politician in the same way claig does are are places you don't want to live in'

You don't understand my ironic humour. I think Farage is better than the Oxbridge whizzkids but I am not stupid to not know that even he, great as he is, must be influenced by some people and may have some of his strings pulled by some people.

'She's disgusted with the Oxbridge elite, when - as people have pointed out - Farage is not too dissimilar from them. Just like the others, he attended public school,'

But this is why in what you term "my essays" I have tried to explain why Farage is different to all the rest. It has nothing to do with what school he went to, how rich he is , whether he speaks Latin or not. Millions of people have gone through public schools, that doesn't mean they are all the same. This is politics, not about alumni. It is what Farage represents and what he stands for and his political philosophy that counts and that is totally different to that of all the rest of them. I have explained how his ideas challenge the Establishment - its political correctness, its climate change claptrap, its EU policy, its immigration policies, its signing away of national sovereignty and its disregard for ordinary people. Daniel Finkelstrein, a Tory moderniser, was on Newsnight last night and said that Cameron wanted the 7 leader format debate in order to limit Farage's time and that he had succeeded in that. They are terrified of Farage because of what he represents (i.e. the people) and of how he could quite easily take millions of votes from them.

Farage isn't a dictator. He is not even a "professional politician" like the Oxbridge PPEs. He represents the people and as Farage said "the politically correct political class" who all "sound the same" and "are all the same" are terrified of someone who represnts the people and promises real change.

Me too Greysanderson and I enjoy political debate, but those posts are rather like being trapped next to the office bore at the Christmas Party who just loves the sound of their own voice.

OK, then vote UKIP

I will be anything you want me to be dear.

Are you a luvvie?

I see claigs posts and my eyes glaze over

Tl;dr

Two other important phrases are "people's insurgency" and "teenage think tank whizzkids from Oxbridge".

You missed out Oxbridge and PPE.

I'm too politically incorrect for UKIP. I'm not like their spokespeople because I am of the people.

UKIP HQ have trouble keeping up.

Farage is proposing a points sytem and a cut in immigration from th over 200,000 immigrants that enter per year now. He is not anti-foreigner, his wife is German. He is not going to scrap equality law or maternity rights. Labour are using lots of scare stories from snippets from old interviews or speeches which do not represent UKIP policy.

Suzanne Evans is drawing UKIP policy and says she rarely speaks to Farage about it, but as leader he will have the final say. Thank God, I say, because Farage is all about common sense.

Don't forget that UKIP will not win the election this time. Their real victories are yet to come. This time they will shake up the system and shake the luvvies by the scruff of their necks. They will be a force for change. They will fight for proportioanal representation and that will change our politics completely by letting the Greens and other parties in and limiting the lifelong held seats of the luvvies.

'Where do I fit in your schema?'

We are all the people. We may differ in views, but we are the people and they are the luvvies.

We have all been let down by their misrule where bankers were allowed to run riot and as Farage just said in the last 5 years our national debt has doubled from 800 billion to 1.5 trillion while they throw our taxpayer money around for foreign aid as if it were confetti.

Their last refuge is to smear Farage as a racist, homophobe etc. That is all they have got left. They have used their media to pump out the message and people are scared of Farage and UKIP. It is all lies.

What UKIP will do for you is bust open the two party luvvie system completely. Then safe seats of the Oxbridge PPEs will vanish and ordinary people will be elected in those once safe seats. Farage will bring in proportional representation, local referenda and direct democracy. Your voice will be heard and if yun don't like UKIP, you can vote them out or vote them down in local referenda.

UKIP will give real democracy to the people and that will benefit all of us and that is what the luvvies fear.

Exactly Buffy, I don't fit into Claig's dichotomy either. Although perhaps anyone anti-Farage is a politically correct "luvvie".
