Great news!
UKIP polled more votes than the populations of 36 countries, including Uruguay and the UAE to name a couple.

UKIP Strikes back!
Mon May 11, 2015 9:43 pm
All hail Farage!

4 million voted for naughty Nigel .

Believe me when I say this, there is no-one who can take his position and here's someone who has met and spoken to a number of people within the layer underneath him. He stepped down before and UKIP collapsed

And Farage knew this damn well when he threatened to resign in the run up if he didn't win his seat

Still didn't manage it though
The thing that confuses me the most about UKIP supporters is that they really think he different to all the other leaders because he likes a fag and a pint

He is yet another from a posh background who would sell his family to get some power. He hated the EU yet,despite, his wealth he was still more than happy as an MEP to take the substantial salary and expenses that went with it.
If people agree with his politics fine, their choice, but don't make out he is this down to earth man of the people

Really great news - UKIP had 4 million votes and only 1 seat, SNP had 1.4 million votes and 56 seats - work that one out!
Tue May 12, 2015 9:20 am
I wonder how many female voters in that 4 million applauding immigration policies etc realise how much they would be undermined if UKIP took over?
It sounds like a serious step backwards for women's rights, or is everything below all a load of rubbish???
1. Nigel Farage on women: “Godfrey’s [Bloom, former UKIP MEP] comment that ‘no employer with a brain in the right place would employ a young, single, free woman‘ has been proved so right. With this lunacy, that if you have children you get three months paid leave off work, or six months paid leave off work – he absolutely got it spot on.”
2. UKIP want to scrap paid maternity leave (in line with Lesotho, Swaziland, the US and Papua New Guinea).
3. UKIP want to make it legal for employers to discriminate on the basis of gender (as well as race).
4. This would also entail the scrapping of employment regulations against sexual harassment and safeguards for part time and irregular workers, the majority of which are women.
5. Nigel Farage informed City high flyers that they are “worth less” to employers if they become mothers or that motherhood is a lifestyle choice.
6. Patrick O’Flynn, MEP Candidate, also say that pregnant women in the workplace are a “disaster”.
7. UKIP’s MEPs have consistently failed to represent the interests of women. They have voted against or simply not turned up to key votes in the European Parliament on ensuring equal pay, combating violence against women and ruling out FGM, to name but a few.
8. Since the 2009 European Election UKIP’s only two female MEPs, Nikki Sinclaire and Marta Andreasen, have both left the party. Andreason said Farage “doesn’t try to involve intelligent professional women in positions of responsibility in the party. He thinks women should be in the kitchen or in the bedroom”. Nikki Sinclaire won an Employment Tribunal claim for sex discrimination against the party.
9. Roger Helmer, UKIP MEP and candidate in the Newark by-election, said, “Rape is always wrong, but not always equally culpable.”
10. Godfrey Bloom, a former UKIP MEP, was not reprimanded for hugely sexist statements such as, “[feminists are] shrill, bored, middle-class women of a certain physical genre” and, “Women, in spite of years of training in art and music – and significant leisure time in the 18th and 19th Centuries – have produced few great works”
11. Stuart Wheeler, the party’s treasurer, said that women were “absolutely nowhere” when they compete with men in sports where they are not physically disadvantaged. He said, “I would just like to challenge the idea that it is necessary to have a lot of women or a particular number on a board… Business is very, very competitive and you should take the performance of women in another competitive area, which is sport where [men] have no strength advantage.”
12. In November 2013, UKIP MEP, Stuart Agnew said (in a debate on women in the boardroom) that “Women don’t have the ambition to get to the top, something gets in the way. It’s called a baby… Those females who really want to get to the top do so”.
13. David Chalice , a senior party official in Exeter, has voiced his belief that women should stay at home and that “cash-strapped Moslems” should have multiple wives.
14. Demetri Marchessini, the party’s sixth-largest individual donor in 2013, said there was no such thing as marital rape, arguing: “If you make love on Friday and make love Sunday, you can’t say Saturday is rape.” He also claimed women should be banned from wearing trousers because they “discourage love-making”.
15. Need I go on?

If you provide references from their policies that state these things then fair enough, until then it's just more rumours/twisted words created by opposition (btw I'm not a ukip voter)

Funny how he was like 'I'm stepping down, I keep my promises' and then he came right back. It's not like he was obliged to remain as leader, irrespective of his resignation being rejected.
Inevitable, of course, they need him, but it's just so ironic that he made a big deal about keeping his promises like all the other leaders and then it only took him 3 days to do a U-Turn. He's the same as the rest of them.

Any Welsh person who votes UKIP should leave Wales immediately
Tue May 12, 2015 1:33 pm
This is proof that he is like every other politician; unable to keep his word.
Why do people in Wales vote for English nationalists?

I would say the majority of Welsh people want to remain in the UK but out of the EU.

Unless we are signing a 20 goals a season striker named Farage dont give a flying toss about UKIP or the rest of them. Whoever you voted for its done and we have 5 more years of Tory control. Which almost as bad of 5 more years of Tan control!

Scotland has a much smaller population than England so henceforth, SNP needed less votes in their local counties etc to gain a seat.

Got no time for Farage, but his one remaining MP has certainly earned my respect:-

Really - I haven't met anyone who does. Where does Wales get its money to help pay for infrastructure projects? You look at just about every sign on a building or road project and its part funded by the EU... We would be shafted without Europe's money as we have no natural resources like Scotland.

Matter of opinion that.
Welsh water is a great resource. I rely on it here living in Derby.

I suspect it won't pay for enough roads and hospitals to keep Wales in 21st century though. And with no mines left I am curious to know exactly how you think Wales which is already has the least amount of growth in the UK could manage without EU hand outs because the Tories aren't interested in propping us up any more?

Water is only one part of it.
Have you noticed over the last decade or so quite a few businesses have moved into Wales. Some major players are now located there. There must be some attraction about the area for these guys to move in.

My regard for Farage has plummeted, I think his so called resignation was a complete stitch up
Fri May 15, 2015 12:28 pm
Wales cant run a f*cking airport properly yet alone a whole economy!!!! The rate of sickness and unemployment would sink the country if left alone
