The Election Point

So as of a few days ago, UKIP are gaining ground in the political sphere.  This concerns a few people in the UK because they're so blatantly insular and racist.  As a result they want no part of Europe which is probably a bad idea for the UK economy, even if it's good for the psyche of the insecure.

However, that is not the point.  The crazy policies and nazi tattoos of the UKIP candidates aren't even the point.

Everyone is bemoaning the destruction of the 'moral fibre,' of the average UK citizen - voting UKIP being seen as the indication of such.  If you voted UKIP it means you are a racist whose right to vote should be revoked (how ironic) along with your right to breathe (the number of facebook comments along those lines is hilarious).

Those who make these comments are all 0-30 years old with facebook profiles.  (All being, in this case, hyperbole (for those who can no longer distinguish the difference between what is sarcasm and what isn't)).

Unsurprisingly these people don't quite understand that for the last few decades the established pair of parties have consistently, systematically, fucked the entire country over; again and again.  This eventually led to the liberal democrat party coming into power (albeit jointly).  Now brace yourself for the surprise of a lifetime: they lied about university fees (among other things) and fucked their voters over.

I know, you're picking yourself up off the floor with regards to that one.

In the off-case that you don't want to be buggered by a political party, who do you vote for now?  Labour breeds war criminals and the lowest social mobility we've seen in decades.  Tories step on your throat to elevate themselves just that little bit closer to the sun.  The Lib Dems lie.  

UKIP are completely untested, which means anything they say can't be refuted with hard evidence and as such, are the only credible party running today.



There have been a million and one comparisons both oblique and overt, between UKIP and the nazi party.  And you know what, for the first time in internet history they're apt.  The nazi party came about because Germany was increasingly downtrodden - the sense of identity, their sense of value (both economic and personal) was at rock bottom.  Then along came someone who promised to restore all of that.  The previous governments had failed, then along came the person to save them.

Compare that to UKIP.  The country is as poor as it's ever been (both morally and economically (bear in mind that just because the super rich in London skew the average statistics for the country as a whole, doesn't mean those living in poor parts of the north aren't worse off now that 20 years ago, and there are far more of them than you) and there is literally no hope for them.  They have no option but to vote for the party which purports to serve them the best.

So who is to blame?  It's not the person who hasn't been served by the various parties in the past, it's the cohort of scummy pricks that have bled the country dry to finance their Mercedes and and holidays to Barbados.

I dislike UKIP for many of the same reasons others do, but they are a symptom of the problems in England, not the cause.
