As it stands on the brink of destruction by the Electoral Commission, I would like to welcome UKIP to the club. The Pro-Life Alliance, with its threat to the Catholic Labour vote, was persecuted out of existence by the Electoral Commission. So was the British People's Alliance's attempt to give a pro-life, pro-family, pro-worker and anti-war voice to economically social democratic, morally and socially conservative British and Commonwealth patriots. Both continue in other forms. But neither, as such, can now put up candidates for election. The campaigns waged by the Commission in order to bring about this state of affairs would have constituted criminal harassment in any other context.
And now UKIP, half of its vote being Old Labour or (especially in the West Country) Old Liberal rather than Old Tory, since the combined UKIP and Tory votes in Wales, or London, or the West Country, or either of the Midland regions, or any of the Northern regions, give a ridiculously high figure for the number of natural Tories living there.
A party for those who used to vote National Front if they could get it and Tory if, as was the case most of the time, they couldn't, is just fine and dandy. Lazy or lying London media will even pretend that its support comes from "the white working class", making it the only working-class Fascist movement in all of history. But parties that offer a refuge to New Labour's battered wives can expect to be destroyed without mercy. That is what the Electoral Commission is for.

ReplyDeleteYep. Lazy and lying London media, and the facts from all previous UKIP elections. Damn those voting figures.
No, sweetie, the BNP. Do try and keep up.
ReplyDeleteThe facts about UKIP are as I set out: half its vote is either Old Labour or Old Liberal. Whereas the BNP's suuport comes almost entirely from the Tories. And the BNP is lower-middle, nor working, class. As Fascist movements always have been.
But you can rely on Fleet Street and the BBC to assume that everyone in the North is working-class. Just you can rely on them to assume that all Eurosceptics are Tories.
