to be absolutely overjoyed with this!

It is over 100 years since a national election has been won by a party other than the Conservatives and Labour.

What's more the UK Independence Party did it by winning seats not just in every region of England but in Wales and Scotland too!

UKIP opinions are the majority - FACT!

Thought that would make the bleeding heart liberals weep!

My heart doesn't bleed for anyone. I just don't like political loons.

"Anti-Labour BBC"? I've heard it all now!

Tiggy - your definition (you are correct in political terms) STILL doesn't make UKIP the majority opinion or vote.

wigornian, what are the bleeding heart liberals (I'm one of them) meant to be weeping about? That you're not caucasian? That you're not caucasian and vote Tory? What? The only thing making me weep - with laughter - is the immature way you think what you're writing is in any way shocking or controversial.

Also, a quick heads-up: accusing people of being caring, ie 'bleeding heart', isn't actually an insult to decent people. "Oh, the shame of being capable of empathy and desirous of equality for all!"... Yeah, not really a thing, is it?

wow Wig where you trying to set a new goady high?

I've read your post several times but it really doesn't say anything

Yes, Toys. There's room for all our fat arses and bleeding hearts in my cupboard.

wig is being 'controversial', gordy. Trying to cut through the lefty crap with some real common sense talking.

I didn't think anyone still used the phrase 'bleeding heart liberal' in a serious sense.

It's not even worth frothing at the OP who is clearly a moron. Your views are racist and misoginistic and not the viewpoint of the majority by a long stretch. Don't tar us all with your brush.

yes she was so terribly shocking and radical - I was utterly bored shaken and awed by her post

European elections have no real importance or significance when it comes to the general election. UKIP will be lucky if they get one or two seats.

Nigel Farage may strut and crow - and I don't blame him - but no one takes him seriously. Have you noticed how you never see a photo of him in the papers with his mouth closed? Even the newspapers, who are relishing seeing Clegg and Cameron getting their bottoms spanked (metaphorically) are unwilling to present him as anything other than a buffoon.

Tiggy, actually, in politics, the word 'majority' on its own still means over 50%. Watch political reporting - they will use 'majority' to refer to number of seats, not number of votes, because it is possible to get over 50% of seats.

The word you are looking for is 'plurality', or possibly 'relative majority'. If 'majority' is unqualified, it means, well, majority.

Can the cupboard please have a netflix account?

Yep, the cupboard is going to be great.

My arse isn't fat and I've voted in every election I could since my 18th birthday. I was in fact very annoyed that a General election was called a month before my 18th meaning I couldn't vote in it.

actually the OP asserted that the Majority of 'people' aka voters had voted UKIP - as a FACT ! that is incorrect

I'm a bit claustrophobic - can I buy an adjoining cupboard and knock through? Three of my grandparents are local - will that be enough to get planning permission?

Labour did indeed have a convincing majority, but of seats, not votes.

It was the spectacularly erroneous statement in the OP that it was a 'FACT!' that 'UKIP opinions are the majority' that brought this up - it was a ridiculous conclusion to draw, regardless of the definitions used.

It would not be classed as racism in any other country

Seriously? I mean everything you wrote is bullshit but this? Seriously?

Ed Milliband has just firmly planted his head back in the sand. I hope that was just a holding statement, not the fully thought-through reaction.

I'm not above bitching or swearing. I can construct a grammatical sentence, too.
