Upcoming elections

[Niall]

I'll start by saying I have already voted (by post). I picked what in my opinion was the best option based on the facts available and my own opinion at the time.

I won't have it that UKIP are the next BNP, the English Democrats (EDL) and Britain First are already there. UKIP are nearer the new old conservatives.

Anyway my reasons for a UKIP vote are these.
Firstly - Without UKIP doing well in the european elections and being able to gain power and trust and prove themselves they will never win a general election. Thats my end goal, let them win a general election. If they win and make things better then great. If they don't well its only 4 years. but you watch how labor and the conservatives try and pull themselves back, how they are forced to prove themselves and we get a better lab/con government out of it.

Yeah but they need to advertise them selves well in order to make people want to give them a chance. Watch that video i told you about and you will see what i mean

Secondly - My soon to be independant motherland is not going to be part of the EU, with us out too it will make continued trade with scotland possible. Dont think its needed look at all the power stations, coal, oil and gas up there and all the heavy engineering. Somethings we'd be lost without.

Dont get me wrong, I'm not a big fan of the EU but we need to be a part of it. Yes we could leave and just close the doors to everyone foreign but we would cut a hell of a lot of trade ties and lets face it, we don't produce much here at all. The cost of living would rocket over night. What we need to do is be more forceful with the parts of the EU that we don't agree with such as immigration

Thirdly - I agree with helping other countries but when ours is so broke why are we bailing out others at huge cost that could of been better kept here and kept our AAA credit rating. Why are we supporting foreign farmers when ours are struggling?

We aren't broke. Have you seen the news recently? Yes, cost of living is still high but we are now at the same point as we were before we were plunged into this recession and considering the trade i work in and trades i work with, i haven't heard a single tradesman who is not doing well at the moment. That money has to come from somewhere!

Fourthly - sorting out this alleged culture of benefits(obviously not gonna happen from euro elections). Lets see if they can do it, nobody else has managed but I'm sick of walking into houses where no fucker works and their TV is 3 times the size of mine and their cars are nicer too. I feel like I'm getting mugged off working for a living.

Agreed i can't stand all these spongers that just don't work because they can't be bothered but i think unless some sort of drastic action is taken on that, it will never change massively.

Finally - I know I'm being a little englander here but net migration here in the last 10 years is about 2.2 million people. Unemployment is also, low and behold, 2.2 million. I know theres a skills balance and jobs people here are unwilling to do but thats gotta be an argument for lower migration (figures from google)

Again, I'm not a fan of the fact we have so many unemployed/on benefits. Sooner something is done. I know some will argue with me but i think the current government is doing a good job. Yeah its taking time but it was never going to be a over night thing

as for me I'm an old tory at heart but the one election promise they didnt keep has f*cked me right off (80mph speed limit). I wanna see people who are honest and keep their promises, lets have a change for once.

Just my opinion of course
