Will UKIP Do Well in the General Election?

What is obvious is that there still no enthusiasm for any of the leaders or the parties they lead and that the electoral system does not allow true representation for the electorate and voting Labour or Tory will only continue the duopoly they have with in this country.
Now it's easy for myself to vote for UKIP as I believe we should have a much looser relationship with Europe, a much tighter immigration policy and a smaller state but I fully respect those who don't hold those views and I'm struggling to give advice to those people what to do as options are limited.

With AV you got to vote for the better scum first whilst still expressing a preference for the least worst scum in a bad situation, with FPTP its just wrong lizard time yet again.

UKIP seem to attract the grey generation (men dressed in Beige) they go for simple politics that appeal to people that don't think to deeply. So my questions for UKIP are simple.

1. We appear to grow strawberries for 10 months a year. Who will pick them or are we going back to seasonal strawberries at a fiver a punnet ?
2. All those out of term holidays to UK hotels by coach often favoured by older folk, who will serve you and who will clean up?
3. If you are unfortunate to be hospital who will look after you?
4. How do you intend to house the 1million Brits living in Europe who will no longer have the right to free movement.
5. Mr Farage when you are no longer a MEP how will you be able to support and pay your German wife.

When the city of London relocates to Germany who will provide a large part of the U.K.' s income.

I'm not so nieve to know that the EU needs reform but you can only do that if you are in it . yes we could be a trading partner like Norway but they have to abide by all EU regulations but have no vote.

You obviously put your short term welfare above the long term good of this country, not to mention the ability to have strawberries ten months of the year!

UKIP must be quaking in their slippers this morning. Ed Miliband, in a move his supporters said showed typical political guile, has bought in John Prescott. Mr Prescott, or to give him his full title Baron Prescott of Kingston upon Hull in the County of East Yorkshire, will be wheeled out to represent Labour in constituencies where they feel a need to reconnect with the ‘man on the street’ which they feel Mr Farage has done rather too well.

Ed Miliband allegedly said “The Lord Prescott has many talents my Labour party will find essential over the next few months, not least his ability to connect with the ordinary voter and play a very decent game of croquet”

So they want Baron Prescott to connect with the ordinary man in the street while playing croquet and sipping Pimms, what a joke the Labour party are these days!

They only way he will connect with the ordinary man in the street is with his fist!
