The Political Thread

[Jim_Campbell]

Am I the only one who can't quite see the evidence of the political earthquake I've been hearing about on the radio all day?

Yeah. The media coverage on this has been ludicrous. My main question is: if UKIP only had TWO FUCKING COUNCILLORS before this, why have they been getting ANY media coverage at all up until now?

Cheers

They only had 2 seats among the 161 councils up for election this year. They picked up a bunch of seats at the previous council elections a year or two ago.

Obviously no UKIP members managed to get any positions in the Labour heartlands. I wouldn't dare to presume that those votes came from the racist left, which come next year you'll be wanting back to vote for the non racist left!

As for Maidstone, the battle is always between the Tory party and the Liberal party and the Tories have always been in power since I've been here. I always vote against them in local elections (obviosuly I wouldn't dare to vote the loony left) as I don't agree with how they behave for the good of the town.

I'm sure that the main parties will be having some in depth talks behind the scenes about what's gone wrong with the populace because they are not behaving like sheep anymore and voting the way they want them to vote.

Oh, do fuck off, John.

My son-in-law came 2nd in Park Ward in Knowsley Council - with 46% of the vote. Knowsley Council has 60/60 Labour Councillors. He was standing for a new local party (who didn't stand on any National policies as Councils don't decide National policy.

No major party has got that close for quite some time. UKIP & BNP didn't stand. Nor did the Cons or Libs as they'd lose their deposit.

As a serving Civil Servant I can't comment on the EU Elections. So that's about that from me.

So Jim, where have all these racists come from then?

You can swear all you like over the forum, as is your want but seeing as the labour heartland had UKIP votes, just where have they come from?

Labour voters can be racists, too, John. You insist on commenting as if there were these stupid fucking tribal divides, all the while protesting that people unfairly categorise you. It's thoroughly tiresome.

And it's "as is your wont".

I think the preferred term is bigots, John. Your question is similar to one posed by this nice old lady:
