UKIP not for me but......

[David B]

they are popular within the older generation but less so in the younger university educated generation, draw your own conclusion

Older people with life experience (who vote in higher numbers) have better judgement than young idealists with pointless degrees?

Or is it that old people are more likely to read the Daily Express (a distinctly pro-Farage rag)?

Blimey! someone who's read the manifesto.
I doubt that 1% of their voters have, voting UKIP only because they heard a funny language in the high st.
Making Xenophobia acceptable.

Surely those UKIP supporters would steer clear of any such manifesto on account of the word 'manifesto' sounding a bit foreign?

The idea of a protest vote seems naive to me.

I think a lot of people feel that the reach of the EU has gone too far. UKIP are offering an end to this, this is a vote winner for a lot of people who are sick of the EU for what ever reason.

Europe has expanded too fast to include countries which are both socially and economically very different from one another, in my mind this is the real issue with Europe, the same laws / polices do not fit all scenarios leading to huge problems. Without huge change in a lot of countries Europe is destined to fail in my opinion.

I think the problem is that the EU believes social and economic integration must go hand in hand.

I don't pretend to know everything about the EU / Europe however it does seem to be failing a many levels in my opinion.
