It just leaves a bad taste in my mouth, he won't support it fully so that indicates some degree of intolerance to me (and judging by the way UKIP members act, such feelings aren't exactly unfounded).
I guess that's true to some degree, but everyone's agreed now that immigration needs sorting. It does, and that's obvious. But I just wish people would open their eyes and see UKIP for the monstrous pile of manure that they are, and how their 'solution' for immigration is one of many things that will utterly destroy this country economically and culturally.

I think what he said was that civil partnerships would be available to everyone, as in heterosexual couples could also opt for a civil partnership which they can't do right now. And he doesn't
have to support gay marriage wholeheartedly. Plenty of of MPs voted against it. If that's what people believe then they have a right to think that way, even though it's legal now and I personally don't agree with them.
I am
not a supporter of UKIP, and they certainly don't help themselves with some of the loose canons they have shooting off their mouths without engaging their brain... but I do agree with some of the stuff they say, for instance, open borders with Europe has been a disaster. That's not to say some people shouldn't be able to come and work here if they have something to offer. Nigel Farage's wife is German, he's not saying no one should be let into the country, ever.
