Conservatives haemorrhage support to UKIP


The Daily Telegraph has today highlighted the results of the latest Ipsos Mori poll which show the continued drift of Tory support to UKIP, thus underscoring the observation made here earlier this week that the increasingly Eurosceptic tone of the Conservative Party – including of David Cameron in advance of his speech on the UK's relationship with the EU this Friday – is being dictated by fear of UKIP’s advance. The Conservatives now languish 13 percentage points behind Labour, which given Miliband’s lacklustre leadership and absence of any general enthusiasm for the Labour Party, is indicative more of general disenchantment with contemporary party politics than any desire to see Labour in office. However, if this is seen as bad news for the Conservatives, it is worse for the Liberal Democrats who lie in fourth place behind UKIP who now stand at 9%.

Prepare for a great deal of painfully hedged verbiage from the Prime Minister on Friday who will attempt to present himself as the champion of British interests against Brussels. He is not. Cameron is a globalist, as are Clegg and Miliband. Moreover, in his own way, Farage is too, with the difference being that he doesn’t like being in the EU and would prefer closer transatlantic ties. Cameron may be making plans for Nigel, but will Nigel be happy in his world? Probably not.

  1. I was a life-long Conservative. No longer!

    1. UKIP fall somewhat short of what is required. Keep visiting here, and you may find something more to your liking shortly.

  2. You are using my proof reading service again ! Now when are you going to pay my bill ?

    I quote 'Cameron is a globalist, as are Clegg and Cameron'

    I think you mean '. . . as are Clegg and Miliband'

    1. Thank you Ivan! With them being so interchangeable, it's a mistake easily made, especially when in a rush after a day at work.

  3. All this demonstates is that we need a viable non-globalist alternative to UKIP who can take many votes from the Tories but will gain little if anything for themselves and leave us with a Labour government with a landslide majority in parliament. God only knows what a PM Miliband would do with such a landslide but you don't have to be a genius to work-out that we British won't gain much from whatever he does. I am feeling very despondent about our future!

    1. That is indeed just what we require, and all that it needs to succeed are active and willing supporters of the concept.

  4. I'm definitely voting for UKIP at the next election because I hope and pray they have the balls to do something about the muslim extremists living in this country and the idiots that follow them.

    Yesterday I posted a link to a video in the 'EDL Solihull' article showing 'muslim police' in London telling drinkers and women to get off the streets because their actions are anti-islamic. The video can be found here:

    Today a new video has appeared from these same lunatics. The opening music, picture and fire make it more reminiscent of a terrorist video! Worrying indeed. Take a look for yourselves:

    If Cameron and his cronies are too afraid to stop this behaviour I do hope that Farage has a plan. He can't be any worse than Cameron or Blair/Brown before him can he?

    1. Thanks for the links. I'll take a look at the second one when I have time. If both are made by the same bunch, I think that it's Anjem Choudary and pals up to their old tricks, as I'm sure you can hear his voice near to the beginning of the first one.

  5. If you wish to be disenfranchised vote for the LibLabCon
