The Protest Voters

Following my last blog; "Don't laugh at UKIP, they call the police" in which I shared the video "Great Harwood Opposes UKIP", that had cost me a visit from the police, I feel it only right to follow up on the amount of people shocked about the level UKIP will go to try and silence people.

"Freedom of speech" is something that many preach about on both sides of the right and left winged flightless face of politics but neither side wants to be ridiculed by the other nor listen to the other's views as to remain in the best interests of a nation. That is the beauty of a democracy, no one can be 100% correct and a medium has to be found through discussion, argument and sometimes ridicule. Both sides eager to expose the scandal of the other and most is done in good sport, politics generally puts you in positions you are uneasy with but that is your job and you are there to work through such problems.

The increase in UKIP either using the police or finding support from the likes of Britain First is an authoratarian way to go about the campaign, sad really that the members of the right wing groups take such offence at somebody laughing at them... Think things are bad now? Imagine if these right wing groups had any sort of real power!

Where is it all leading?

With the general election fast approaching and the likes of the BBC and other large news corporations pushing the right wing rhetoric, yes it might look like ridicule of Nigel Farage and his cronies but it is mere advertisement that is well played out. Whilst any left wing politicians (I don't mean Labour... I.e. Red Tories) fails to secure a proportion of the airtime on any of the main media channels. Leading more voters down the path of UKIP, but will that be the true voting demographic as a whole? No, the majority remainder of voters will be strong die hard Tories, leaving two main parties in the running for the country; Conservatives and UKIP...

Now for those who don't know Nigel Farage is an ex Tory banker with a part in Natexis Metals, a French company with a $1.7Bn profit turn over each year. He had headed UKIP since before it began to claim to be the party for "every man" and wore it's true elitist Eaton boy colours... Founded by Tories and still containing a big Tory backing, sound like a party for the "every man" now?

I would not simply go out of my way to condemn any TRUE revolution in politics if that was what it truly was but I cannot simply sit back and watch duped fools think that the answer can be found with right wing agenda... It only serves those that impose the policies, legislators do not work for the public, even though the wages do come from the fruits of people's labour (taxes). The point of how far these wannabe UKIP candidates will go when you laugh at them coupled with the threat of them gaining seats is quite frankly frightening.

I will not try and sway people's vote as that is their own but I would like people to actually read into what you will vote for... If your vote is a protest towards Lib/Lab/Con then another set of Cons will not help. Vote for a party without a chance, don't look back in years to come and think "I am part of this problem, I helped fuel the war machine" because you can bet under a Con/Kip government the wars will continue, public services will still be sold and the rise of racial and social hatred is a given.


Please think, please learn and if you do vote then vote well in the General Election.
