Should we all stop posting in serious debates then?

His views mean as much as anyone posting here or anyone else.

True but I don't think he was supporting them, He was just saying that in the voter's eyes they'll seem like the best of a bad bunch although they aren't.

They make up part of their votes arista, still more have come from the Conservatives.

However in fact, as many of the analysts have said as to their polling, the main bulk of their votes are coming from people who lean to certain parties but who normally don't vote.
Therefore it may well be that a great number who voted UKIP as to the EU elections particularly won't vote for them in a general election, as that voter said on QT last night,he voted UKIP this time but wouldn't in a general election'.

Don't ask a footballer onto a serious political discussion show and expect him to behave like anything other than a man who kicks a football for a living.

I have massive concerns as to their NHS ideas, they may not yet be formalised policy but the overtones of their statements on healthcare don't impress me.

Yes Cherie, I also thought Joey talked a fair bit of sense in the programme and as he said, maybe he could made a better comment,he made a fair point even as to that.

I like the guy myself,it is odd to me however how he could get criticised for his comment of comparing the leaders of the parties to 4 ugly women but it was totally fine for the UKIP woman to class all footballers together and generalise that all their brains are in their feet.

He wasn't supporting them, he was explaining why they might have done so well.

[GiRTh]

Joey Barton is much more of a man of the people than Farage. He may have no place on Question time but his point is a good one.

Morgan is also right. Ukip have no policies and to vote for them is little more than a protest vote. Their only policies are the obviously bigoted ones they find so hard to defend without crying 'Witch hunt'. It actually disgust me that Ukip are being taken seriously at all..

I can see why people are attracted to them with the help of the media unfortunately but I agree with all you say above.
I feel sad that by going to the extreme of the 2 policies they go on and on about,that has so far overridden the sinister and dark elements as to their other policies as they are being made.
