Well, if you really want to instigate some change make sure you use your vote on the 22nd May and make sure you cajole everybody else you know to do so as well - the major parties rely on voter apathy to create a low turnout which lets them gain office again and again and again...

This could be your last chance, so please do the following in good time to cast your vote:

1. Register to vote - are you on the electoral role? If not, here's how:

2. Do you know where to vote? If not, here's a map:

3. Can't get to the polling station? Register for a postal vote:
https://www.hillingdon.gov.uk/article/28032/Postal-and-proxy-voting

4. Place your vote, don't be apathetic, don't be part of the problem. Get out and vote, on the way to work or college - there are no excuses.

5. Spread the message - nag others to vote too. Democracy only works if we all take part.

6. Be proud that you are upholding your democratic and hard-fought for right.

UKIP came second in the 2009 European Parliament elections, euroscepticism was at much lower levels compared to now and UKIP media coverage nowhere near the levels seen at the moment, they really do have a fighting chance to come out on top this time round and send a clear message - use this ballot as the referendum that has been denied to us for so long.

UKIP have released their new advertising campaign, pretty hard hitting and should be effective:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2609583/New-Ukip-posters-focus-immigration-branded-racist-political-opponents.html

Interesting what the Labour MP says about urging Commonwealth and EU citizens to vote - could not care less about what British voters think.

It's anachronistic and not right that people from Commonwealth countries get to vote in UK elections - it's not reciprocated in their countries and can be influential on the outcome, completely undemocratic IMHO:

I'll be voting UKIP. No time for the others - all liars, self-serving thieves with no interest in the British people or Britain.

That UKIP advert tells it how it is and not racist at all.

All those jobs lost to underpaid foreigners willing to work for peanuts is adding to the jobless total

I heard the deputy UKIP leader on the radio this morning up against a Labour MP calling him names. He was very good and certainly knew how to deal with it..

For decades we've switched between the three LibLabCon parties. And whichever party or combination of parties is in power the political direction of Britain remains vitually the same.

Einstein defined insanity as “... doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." Which seems a perfectly rational statement to make.

And since voting Lib, Lab, or Con has been proven to make absolutely no difference to the political direction of Britain, I shan't be voting for any of the LibLabCon parties in the forlorn hope that anything will change for the better. UKIP may well be an unknown risk, but we know for certain that a government formed out of the LibLacCon is a definite guarantee that nothing will improve. Therefore, following Einstein's definition of insanity, I shall do something different in the hope of a change of political direction towards sanity; I shall be voting UKIP.

I don't agree with UKIP on all their policies, but I do agree that for Britain to have any future of self-government, an early withdrawal from the EU is an essential prerequisite.

I caught the tail end of a party political from Cameron and he's spouting all the things he said years ago but has so far failed to act on.

Can't fool me with all these lies David, you've cooked your goose.

The ads to me seemed no worse than the Saatchi election ads for the Tories or the red eyed Blair.

It's politics, what's on the posters means bugger all as they would strive to find something they could use against UKIP. if they put a picture of a vase of flowers on every bill board there would be something racist or xenophobic about it according to the BBC.

Farage is using the any publicity is good publicity school of thought - it's saving millions on advertising.

Every time they raise his use of expenses or pensions or salaries all he has to do is say 'its a fair cop, but I'm not doing anything wrong and neither are any of the others. Why pick on me?

I'm sure they have already gone though his bins.

I'm waiting for the interview with Farages dog, with woofs translated by Michael Crick, revealing shocking racialist crimes.

And to be fair the harder they try and bring him down the more people will vote for him.

Interesting article in the Telegraph this morning.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldne ... -year.html

Quote:
Nearly 90,000 Britons abandoned their Mediterranean dreams in Spain last year, according to new figures.

The ongoing effects of the eurozone crisis, a huge property slump and a rapidly shrinking job market have contributed to the exodus, reducing Spain's total population for the second year running.

Town hall registers across the country recorded a steep drop in Britons, falling 23 per cent from 385,179 on Jan 1 last year to 297,229 at the end of December.


23% drop in one year!! That is an astonishing figure. Seems to me one of the main thrusts of pro EU camp's arguments on open borders is coming away at the seams.

I must say it is incredible the amount of negative stories and outright lies that are being told by the mainstream media as part of the smear campaign against UKIP in the run up to the European elections which are less than a month away. I think Nigel is going for the 'any publicity is good publicity' approach!

It should be obvious to most people what is going on here and the harder they try the more obvious it is. I hope most of the right minded posters on this forum can see right through it. If you've made up your mind to vote for them the battle is only half won - persuade your friends and family to vote for them as well - this is a numbers game after all and elections are won by those that turnout.

Probably they will turn out to be just as bad as the other three mainstream parties, but I'm willing to take that risk just to give the others a kick up the pants! Although they don't appear to be such career oriented politicians as the others which is refreshing.
