You are right in noting that it's going to be a tough fight for us to make a breakthrough, but we need to try.

However, generally they do not seem to do so well in local and general elections. I don't think people know what their politics stand for nationally. Perhaps they have done better this time for no other reason than there is no other "reasonable" party to vote for if you don't wish Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6657878812884081988.post-58644663766943983122012-11-17T18:31:09.481+00:002012-11-17T18:31:09.481+00:00I think that you are right with respect to the tim...I think that you are right with respect to the timing issue. UKIP is strong enough to inflict damage, without doing any good. It is my opinion that we should seek to appeal to those who might consider voting for UKIP, despite its globalist stance, and the disaffected supporters of the major parties who see no other party to turn to.

At the moment, UKIP hasn't taken large numbers of voters away from anyone but the Tory Party but if we leave it much longer they may build-up a momentum which will make it very, very difficult for any new party to get a look-in.

It is always gratifying to find that there are others who appreciate my musings, and who hopefully wish at some stage to get involved in launching a genuinely fresh political party unencumbered with any negative baggage, that offers a positive alternative to that currently set before the electorate. <br /><br />I am currently working on a ratherDurotriganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12427474698912082351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6657878812884081988.post-58469468404135130732012-11-17T00:45:56.127+00:002012-11-17T00:45:56.127+00:00Dear Durotigan,
