Ukip

[Henarar]

Can't run their own party but some people want them to run a country.

Quite right
waste of time

 

[Hindsight]

I cannot see how it can produce a manifesto without offending an enormous number of people not on the right of politics, and even some of them.

The main aim of Brexit is now not an issue. It is opposed to multi-culturism and wants to lower immigration. Follows old style UK values on things like same sex marriage, education and tradition. I can still see it being a popular party on those issues, but cannot understand what its economic aims would be for the governing of the UK if it was the majority party.

If it continues, will it merely take votes from all the other parties without achieving many, or any, MPs? If this happened I can imagine no strong opposition parties in the Commons for many years against what would surely be enormous Conservative majorities.

Concurr with your observations. Unless Labour somehow change their position, regain Scotland or Mrs May has a disaster somewhere along the line it does look as though we are in for prolonged period of Tory government with large majorities - in which case the party will swing increasingly to the right - and thus move towards the UKIP position. We are seeing a little of that already with Mrs May pledge on reintroducing Grammar Schools - if I recall on the occasions I have watched Question Time with a UKIP speaker reintroducing Grammar Schools to every town seemed a major UKIP objective. Anyway time will tell. Events dear boy, events.

UKIP falling apart at the moment

I suppose it all depends it UKIP can find another cause apart from leaving the European Union.
