Eastleigh by-election: UKIP vow to make it a four-way fight (From Daily Echo)

"He did admit that the Liberal Democrats have the advantage in the constituency"

Seriously? Who on earth would still vote for that lot after their vile duplicity?

UKIP are still a joke though.

Unlikely though it is, I really hope Independent candidates start taking more seats. The party system has demonstrably failed.

I think it is a bit patronising of Mr Farage to say people in Eastleigh couldn't name 4 Labour front benchers.

Here are 4 I can think of without trying to hard.

Twigg - Education
Balls - Shadow Chancellor
Miliband Ed - Leader
Harriet Harman.

I think Farage is a muppet.

this is not and never will be a 4 hourse race... its between the tories and the Lim Dems... There are enough stupid people in Eastleigh to make this status quo remain. I will be voting for an independent..... if there is one who is not deranged, if not I will draw a p3n1s on the ballot paper and write "good ridance Mr Huhne" on it.

By dividing Tory vote UKIP could be NuLabour's saviour.

But NuLabour appears to be its own worse enemy.

Unlike Tories who were well prepared NuLabour leadership appear to have kept on enjoying their sleep.

If they still have not got candidate in place they may be leaving bit too late.

With his past connection with Eastleigh former Labour candidate Alan Lloyd may be the only right person. Because he is not contaminated with Blairism has massive experience as County and City councillor, is famous for helping people, cares for environment and is opposed to cuts and on top of all that is life long supporter of NHS.

Although NuLabour has left announcing the candidate bit too late, with Alan already known to many in Easteligh they may be able to make up for that lost time.

As John Denham is man with exceptional political instinct I am bit surprised that he has not used his close links with Milliband and influence upon others to get Alan Lloyd selected as candidate.

The racist dinosaur above is spot on in this instance.

UKIP are the only way forward

I reckon you should stand for the Common Sense and Honesty Party, you would walk it.

If not MGRA then Sandra Gidley to stand and exact revenge on the Tories! Not that I care much, all MP's seem to be of the same persuasion, wouldn't matter who got in.

Time for a sea change in politics. A vote for Lib/Lab/Con is a vote for more of the EU, more uncontrolled immigration and less self determination. A vote for UKIP is a vote for a Party that wants to see an exit from the money squandering EU, a return of autonomy, a return of democracy, and and control over our borders. I will be voting UKIP.

nigel porridge is full of it.

Mr Farage and the UKIP manifesto are certainly full of common sense. He sees the EU for the political, money squandering political folly that it is. Have a look at some of his speeches online. He would make a great leader.

Why are UKIP 'a joke' canthinkofone? (first comment above)

We claimed 22% of the vote and came second in Rotherham, South Yorkshire only a few weeks back. This beat the Tories and the Lib Dems in a Labour stronghold.

Nigel Farage states 'he added that he was "delighted" that the Tory candidate, Maria Hutchings, is Eurosceptic.'

Well he would be wouldn't he.

All the comments in the Daily Telegraph noted that she is spouting UKIP policies and not Tory ones.

So what exactly does she stand for. What does she actually believe in. Well that is hard to say since she apparently was a lifelong LABOUR supporter that has defected to the TORY Party at the time when the Labour party became more like the Tories under Blair. She is now spouting UKIP policies which is a far right wing party.

I would suggest she is prepared to say anything to gain the seat. Self interest?

Nigel Farage, Well I note for all his anti EU rhetoric, he is not prepared to give up his MEP role

European Union decision to forbid MEPs from holding a dual mandate, if he were to be elected to the House of Commons, he would have to resign his seat as MEP.


In May 2009, The Guardian reported that Farage had said in a speech to the Foreign Press Association that over ten years as a Member of the European Parliament he received £2 million of taxpayers' money in staff, travel, and other expenses on top of his £64,000 a year salary.


A former MP Denis MacShane, previously a Labour Minister for Europe, said that this showed that Farage was "happy to line his pockets with gold". Farage called this a "misrepresentation", pointing out that the money had been used to promote UKIP's message and staff salaries, not his own salary, but he welcomed the focus on the issue of MEP expenses, claiming that "ver a five year term each and every one of Britain's 78 MEPs gets about £1 million. It is used to employ administrative staff, run their offices and to travel back and forth between their home, Brussels and Strasbourg."

May 2012 London mayoral and local elections
In a "bizarre ****-up", the UKIP forgot to put their party name on their candidate's ballot paper for the London mayoral election, 2012, Laurence Webb appearing as "A fresh choice for London." Farage admitted the mistake describing it as an internal error.

Lets hope they can do better here in Eastleigh lol!

I agree. I nearly passed out with disbelief when George Galloway was elected for the Respect party.

They appear to be rolling over and admitting defeat without any sort of a fight. If George can get elected anyone can. But it does mean campaigning. Clearly like him or hate him at least he knows how to run a good election campaign. This coupled with the distaste of the 3 main parties opened the door for him.

One can see how Hitler got elected. Not that George is anything like Hitler, but I wouldn't have put money on him winning.

Problem with UK Independence is that the UK is far too small a country to be independent... look at a map of the world and you'll find out how small we are .... and how dependent on other countries.

Frankly Mr Farage is entitled to every penny of expenses that he claims as an MEP. These are legitimate expenses that all MEPs can claim. We need him in Brussels to point out the folly of the bloated EU behemoth. He is fighting for withdrawal of the UK from the EU. Look at some of his speeches online, he is fighting the disastrous EU from within...

UKIP TAX POLICY

Monday, 5th December 2011

UKIP believes in merging income tax and national insurance into a flat rate income tax to greatly simplify our tax code, which currently stands at over 11,000 pages.

At the last election we opted to merge 20% basic income tax with 11% national insurance to create a 31% flat tax on all earned incomes over £11,500. As a tax cut for all, with a higher threshold, it would also take the poorest paid out of income tax altogether.

It would also mean abolishing the existing 40% and 50% income tax brackets, the latter actually costing the economy rather than taking in revenue.

For employers, UKIP aims to abolish employers’ national insurance across a parliament to end the tax on jobs. This will undoubtedly boost employment and simplify the process of employing people.

So the better off will get a very good tax reduction and and an increase in the tax allowance that all would benefit from.

Business - you know those who avoid paying corporation taxes and pay min wages tax payers have to top up will have another tax break.

Meanwhile pensioners with a works pension will be paying 31% tax instead of 20% taxes as once retired people do not pay NI. In this way you will be paying NI after you retire.

Think very seriously about the so called sensible policies.

There are a lot of people pleasing policies on the face of it, but be very careful and look at what they are actually proposing whilst appealing to our natural bias. Be very careful.

The fact that your dogwhistle policies are supported by xenophobes in EDL strongholds doesn't make your party any less laughable. Quite the opposite in fact.

Mr Farage has to be IN the EU to expose its ridiculous follies. He can not highlight what a disaster it is if he has no platform. He does not control the amount of expenses that every single MEP is currently entitled to, but uses them to expose the havoc that membership of the EU is wreaking on its member states. Have a look at his speeches on youtube. He lambasts the EU at every turn, and rightly so.

UKIP have many common sense policies, for example....'' Ensure British benefits are only available to
UK citizens or those who have lived here for at
least five years. Currently, British benefits can
be claimed by EU citizens in their arrival year ''

@ Dresnez, re your comment on UKIP policies, and pensions, they state that they will.....'' smplify pensions and remove unnecessary
and degrading means testing for our senior
citizens. We will roll existing state pensions,
Pensions Credit and the Winter Fuel Allowance
into a flat-rate, non-means tested, non-contributory and NON-TAXABLE Citizen’s Pension worth
at least £130 a week '' (This is from the 2010 General Election manifesto, so obviously figures may change)

I actually think it would do well to have UKIP take Eastleigh in the by-election.

It would certainly make the main parties start listening to the electorate.

I'm not in favour of having a UKIP government, not yet anyway, but for them to win Eastleigh will at least give the others the kick up the backside they need.

LOL

I will be switching my vote to UKIP as I think they talk a lot of sense.

So everyone who wants to keep the interests of British people at the top of the list is racist? Sorry, I don't agree. We had racists in the country before we joined the EU in 1973 and we will have racists in this country if and when we leave the UK.

UKIP will bring a breath of fresh air and, because we do not know what a UKIP MP would actually be like in the House of Commons, I would rather try something new than the three main parties which, in one way or another, can no longer be trusted.

Go UKIP!

I tend to agree with you. Let's be honest it's only until 2015 so having UKIP in Eastleigh will give us a taste of what they can or can't do.

It will be a good test for them and give us some insight as to what they can do.

WHAT have we entrusted to Tory/Labour that is today in good shape?

Is there ANYTHING?

UKIP can't be any worse than what we have seen.

Nah, not really.

When will you people wake up and smell the coffee. Fact: EU screwed Eastleigh when it allowed Pirelli to illegally take money to move to Italy and over 500 jobs lost from Eastleigh. Fact: Alstrom were allowed to asset strip British Rail Engineering by the EU another 500 plus jobs gone. Fact: EU give a practically interest free loan to Fords to move to Turkey another 1000 plus jobs and related industries affected. How many more times are the people of Eastleigh expected to bend over and take it. UKIP has won support across the UK because people have finally realised that Nigel Farage and others have been talking FACTS not spin like the other 3 parties. WAKE UP EASTLEIGH How many more times will you let your Lim Dem/Tory or Labour MP let you be the victim of EU whim

You're at liberty to do similarly anywhere in the EU. As the hordes of Brits in Spain etc do.

Leaving aside the questionable idea that you've earned something simply by coincidence of birth of course.

Membership of the EU is eroding our democracy, costs us £52 Million a DAY, burdened us with uncontrolled immigration, and has driven the British fishing Industry ( not to mention the fish) to the verge of extinction. Consider voting UKIP. We need a UKIP MP in Westminster as a voice of opposition to Lib/Lab/Con.

As an NHS worker I'm sure you'll also have experienced the valuable work being carried out by Doctors, Nurses, Health Care Assistants and Cleaners from across the EU and beyond.

So if any of them happened to receive treatment themselves would they be 'taking advantage'

You decide.

Have a look at the UKIP manifesto, have a look at some of Mr Farage's speeches in Brussels. Here is a man who is not a career politician, he is not in politics for his own self aggrandisement, he is here because he cares about the future of this Country.

.. this is a news discussion forum you know? In our own peculiar styles we regulars like to discuss, dissect and offer original comment on topical issues, including by-elections.

You seem content to just lick the @rse of your shining knight in armour (I know, difficult if he’s actually wearing the armour!!) and give us endless quotes from the UKIP website interspersed with URL’s to that same site. Have you got nothing original to say? Or does your contribution just reflect the intellectual capabilities of rabid UKIP supporters?

Not a career politician? Yea, sure. He’s only been a full time MEP for 14 years. So, what is his career then?

.. blimey, this sam1970 seems to be a genetic clone of southy, only a political reverse image.

I agree, I did reply to one of the numerous posts that they should be out there speaking to people not annoying us on the comment section.

I take it that Sam1970 is UKIP's
PR machine !!
I think we should give them a chance. They can't be worse than what we have.
I heard that Portsmouth FC had written to Mr Huhne and asked if they could take his points !!

As we can see above Farage is your typical MP with his snout firmly in the trough.

Would he have a German wife if he were racist?

i seem to remember germany was nazi !!!!!

Germany had a Nazi government for about twelve years and using your logic can I ask if you are a Conservative or a Liberal-Democrat?

none of them , all treasonous traitors ,and if nigel porridge is the answer ,god help us ,this is the post- democracy age , enjoy the horse lasagne.

Yes arthur dalyrimple, German did have a Nazi government up until 1945 when it was toppled. Your point is???

We had gone to war to stop this kind of policy, and yet here we are letting it happen, bring it in slowly bit by bit as we move more and more to the right. Some people did not learn at all about the war,

No Sam he has this nose firmly in the pig trough, How about when he and that other one Lord whats his name was talking to the Tory comittee about UKIP rejoining the Tory Party if they would add EU referendum.

It was deserted today...

Ermmmmm, Libraries are history, the internet is much more up to date!

.. you better not let southy hear you say that. 90% of the internet is wrong; although only the Redbridge Trot can distinguish the correct 10%.

And, only library books can be trusted. Apparently that means all the books in my bookcase can't be trusted as well.

No he is right it was pretty quiet in there when i went in, made a pleasent day being quiet for a change, no students about, only about 50 people in there.

The UK went to war because the terms of the Agreement of Mutual Assistance required it to offer help to Poland after Germany invaded it. People learned a lot about extremism as a result of the Second World War and the Cold War that followed which gave stark lessons about the politics of the far left and far right which is why no-one will cast votes in sufficient numbers to let the lunatics take over the asylum.

It clearly states on the UKIP website that.....'' Membership is not available to anyone who is or has previously been a member of the British National Party, National Front, British Freedom Party, British People's Party, English Defence League, Britain First or the UK First Party. Any applications made from people who are or have been members of these organisations will be refused, and any subscriptions collected will be refunded.
By applying for membership you certify that you are not and have never been a member of either of these parties ''

Yes, and the EDL statements claim that they're nor racists, and racists aren't welcome.

Those are lies too though.

*not* btw (obviously)
