Hi,clearly Ukip and what passes for their executive have learned absolutely nothing from the lessons, which they admitted to in April 2013.
Ukip realised they were telling lies to the electorate and their promises just did not add up, leading to a credibility gap where the more intelligent voters just could not believe their promises and unfunded policy claims.
It does seem that in fact they did learn something, to be fair, they learned they couldn’t get away with it so they seem merely to have dropped their standards and have continued telling the public lies but now have made a policy decision (rare in Ukip!) they seem now to be pandering to ther less well educated and poorly informed in society to seek out the populist vote.
This would seem to be a ploy well learned from the likes of Oswald Mosley and Adolf Hitler who used both overt and concealed racism to sweep the gutters of politics for any available vote, hate filled as it may have been.
Clearly the policy worked and Oswald Mosley was voted man of the year in 1934 and Hitler featured on Time magazine’s cover as the man of the year in 1938 as it worked for them clearly it worked for Nigel Farage, who became man of the year 2014, by telling lies and steering his cult down market to pander to that same audience.
Interestingly he failed in Scotland where he was rivalled in the same ploy by Alex Salmond!
That these facts are still irrefutable less than 100 days befor Britain’s General Election and Ukip still has neither a credible Manifesto nor any signs of a responsible, reputable policy for an EU eXit and survival strategy – surely no one but the illiterate and semie literate bigots and all be it veiled racists could possibly be so irresponsible as to vote for a Ukip candidate.
There are, I am sure, still some die hard principled members of Ukip who have remained in the party long past the time their common sense and ethics dictated, in the vein hope they just might be able to reform it from within. Sadly a hope that has been swamped by the corruption, squabbling, infighting and clear lack of principles competent leadership.
I still find it embarrassing to admit that although I was not adequately beguiled to join Ukip as a member nor accept any position with the party I did spend an inordinate amount of time acting behind the scenes to try to change its direction to make it credible as the party to lead the British peoples out of the EU.
Sadly, I confess, I failed and Ukip are now more of a hinderance to any hopes Britain has of repatriating our democracy, reinstating our sovereignty, re-establishing our borders and reforming our justice system by the fundamental human right, as defined by the UN and others, of ‘self determination’ and a clear unequivocal vote to Leave_The_EU.
It is for this reason that I shall refuse to place my cross against any whipped party hack which would be to spoil my ballot paper and I will, as I have done for many years, clearly write on my ballot paper the only political view I value LEAVE_THE_EU
