Proof that UKIP is not just a Conservative problem

I think this is the most telling stat of all. Ed Miliband the leader of the Labour party and MP for Doncaster North and this happens on his doorstep. Obviously there is caveats for the Euros and Not all the council was up for election. etc etc but still. Is it just a Tory problem?

  2. Labour vote share increases, so UKIP is a Tory/Lib Dem problem in my opinion.

  3. UKIP is representing Britain against those who would abolish national sovereignty in Europe. Sovereign Nations are the root of diversity. The desire to abolish all diversity in Europe is racism of the second kind. Racism of the first kind is the yob, racism of the second kind is the desire to extinguish all diversity. Racism of the second kind is true racism, the yob is just a yob.

    UKIP is the only party that offers an anti-racist platform.
