UKIP. I'm voting for them. This is why;

[crystal123]

UKIP want us out of the EU, I love Europe can't stand the EU.We pay 40 million a day to them
1)72% of our laws are now made in Brussells, from fuel taxes, farming,fishing and immigration.
2)We pay £40 million a day to be in the EU.
3)The Two richest countries in Europe-Norway and Switzerland are not even in the EU.
4)Under labour we now have 3.5 million extra people living in this country. We need proper border controls. Nick Cleggs policy is to count people in and out of the country, and force them to work in 'regions' totally unworkable. UKIP would keep our proud tradition of helping genuine asylum seekers.
5)UKIP does not appear to be anti-christian as do the other parties. The labour parties spin doctor Alistair Campbell said they "don't do God!" I do.
6)UKIP believes in holding referendums for the electorate on key local and international issues. I like this.
7)Crime is now out of contol, UKIP would build more prisons. Last but not least, Lord Pearson (leader) is 'posh' and does not try to hide it.

LOL jedward

Katy, the MN pie charts aren't showing UKIP because, erm, they're barely showing up in the MN polls. It's not bias, it's statistics.

Oh god, when I hear the phrase 'flat tax rate' I reach for my gun

I should say not is. Sorry poor subject verb agreement there.

Just watched the whole clip. Totally incredible. The leader doesn't know the manifesto. Plank.

I would vote UKIP. UKIP made history winning 13 MEP seats last June beating Labour, LibDem and the Greens yet Mumsnet is not showing UKIP on its pie chart. This is very biased.

Labour and Conservative MPs lied to us about a referendum over the Lisbon Treaty and handing over even more power to the EU. Not a single person in this country has had a vote on anything other than a common market/trading relationship with the EU yet successive labour and conservative governments continue to hand power to the EU. Nick Clegg is pro EU and wants us to lose the £ asap. I don't believe a single word any of the LIB,LAB,CON MPs say.

Katy:

it is not bias

it is because barely anyone on MN (who is participating in the polls) is going to vote for them

if 15% of MNers said they were going to vote UKIP, they would show up on the pie charts

without wishing to be rude, do you understand pie charts?

Katy - can you say anything else or is that a UKIP press release?

See, it really doesn't work, this planty thing if you don't actually know what you are talking about does it?

If UKIP don't trust the british population sufficiently to allow them to choose their own headwear, then why on earth do they trust them enough to decide 'key local and international issues'?

Maybe its just white men in bowlers who will be allowed to vote in these referenda. (Trilbys and caps made of tweed may be acceptable in rural constituencies)

"Just watched the whole clip. Totally incredible. The leader doesn't know the manifesto. Plank."

I ought to listen to the R4 phone in again. I came away from the kitchen after hearing 31% and started reading. He had various callers (some sounded a bit angry to be honest) but I do remember him saying something about not being up to speed on the whole of the manifesto.

Ah - here we go - you need to jump to the 41st minute to hear the start of this phone-in.

"I don't know the ins and outs of our specific policys"

Alot of attention grabbing fluff and no substance.

He has no clue, or it seems.

Riiiiiiiiiiight, still not getting my vote.

still listening though

Um, crystal, your computer seems to have a problem where you post the same thing a few minutes apart (12.17 amd 12.23).

KatyRo's PC seems to have the same problem (14.13 and 14.55). Maybe you should get together and talk about it some time

OP

All your reasons for voting UKIP are all the reasons I won't.

Katyro. Perhaps we should take it up with MN about UKIP not being on their pie chart.

crystal, do you understand the pie chart?

PMSL

Back to Key Stage 1 maths for Katy and Crystal

Katyro. Perhaps we should take it up with MN about UKIP not being on their pie chart.

Shannigan. Yes I do.

lololol

MN pie chart for those who have not yet lost the will to live

Then why on earth do you think that UKIP should be on it?

crystal/katy. Do you understand that the MN pie chart is representing the view of mumsnetters as expressed via the regular mumsnet polls? The pie chart does not represent national polling, or results achieved at the Euro elections

If you are still with me, blink twice and I will proceed to the next part of the explanation

Things I will consider doing before I consider voting for UKIP:

1. Eating a live tarantula
2. Fellating Bono
3. Sticking red hot pokers into my anal cavity
4. All of the above simultaneously.

Heathen. I don't know Katyro at all, perhaps I should, as many people who post here seem to be on familiar terms with each other. Mind you if someone agrees with you, your bound to be more freindly with them, don't you think?

Showoffhands. Perhaps you could avail yourself to one of the 2.5 million people who voted for UKIP in the European elections and they may help/facilitate your naughty requests!

SOH - that made me laugh so hard I cried! That should be quote of the week!

lol at showofhands and brilliant crystal/katyro UKIP comedy double act.
