Opportunity Knocks For UKIP

With the travails of the Coalition Government, UKIP have an outstanding chance to capture votes not only from the right but from the left as well. The key to UKIP's fortunes lie in it making the case of not just being a pseudo-Tory enigma, but a party of the masses.
UKIP is well known for being a party of eurosceptic and lower immigration doctrine but its policies are far more than just these and it needs to address the platform of being defined under these narrow definitions.
One word defines how far UKIP can grow and prosper and that is RELEVANCE - if UKIP can appeal to the patriotic and hardworking working classes it can be assured of at least 15 to 20% of the electorate. This would clearly make the case for it being the 3rd party in British politics - it will also be a key breakthrough for the party and test the resolve of the other parties.
UKIP has to show how the EU impacts on the daily lives of the working classes, how through its policies and radicalisation of politics within the UK their lives will be improved and made better. By investing at home rather than throwing money at the EU's failing enterprise we can liberate the entrepreneurial spirit within the UK.
Opportunity knocks for UKIP and this will only be dampened by the resolve it shows for the task ahead. If it is forthright and straight talking with the electorate UKIP will be given credit for this as many feel the Conservative/Liberal/Labour axis has diminished politics and undermined our democracy.
Below is a link from the Daily Express and this connects neatly with my arguments and propositions for the future of UKIP:-

EU plot to abolish nation states


In the Express there is an article covering the latest attempts by eurocrats to integrate Europe further. There is a distinct threat to the nation states within Europe and a plan to centralise more power within Europe to unelected bodies. Unless the citizens of Europe stand firm and say no there is the high possibility of faceless eurocrats reining in more powers for themselves with disastrous consequences for the sovereign states.

Electoral Thanks from UKIP Basingstoke

At UKIP Basingstoke we are delighted by the results achieved being a very new branch. In 4 of the 5 seats contested we achieved between 12 and 15% that is a fantastic foothold from which we can launch future campaigns. We would like to extend our thanks and regards to all those that voted including those who did not vote for us. Without the electorate democracy is nothing. We wish the winning candidates well in their terms of office and hope they represent the people of Basingstoke with integrity and dignity.

From all at UKIP Basingstoke
