Hello …
That’s upset the apple cart …
I don’t know if you watch UK politics, at all.
But the right-leaning — extremely right leaning — UK Independence Party have been gaining popularity over the past few years: especially with their anti-European chance.
Last night, though … ? Last night* saw them win their first by-election: when their man, Douglas Carswell, was elected as Clacton MP, and the party’s first seat. They also came in a VERY close second in the by election in Manchester’s Heywood and Middleton seat: reducing Labour’s majority to some six hundred or so.
Personally … ? Personally, I don’t know if I could ever vote Ukip. They’re a touch too right leaning for my comfort: and I can’t see myself benefitting under a Ukip-lead government.
But, frankly, even I will admit the Ukip leader, Nigel Farage has a lot of charisma. Ukip also seems to genuinely offer change at Westminster. And the party’s very existence has raised the many in the UK want to talk about.
“Let’s leave the EU.” Or, at least, have a Scottish style in-out referendum about it.
Personally, I think that’s a much needed referendum. We — the people of Britain — should have our say about it.
Ukip look like the only party offering to put that referendum into place.
