They Cannot Both Be Right

What sort of amateurish excuse for a political party puts a 20-year-old on The World at One, anyway?

But Nigel Farage was in favour of same-sex "marriage" until David Cameron decided to legislate for it. Farage is also on record in support of the legalisation of drugs, another of the apparent heresies of young Olly Neville, and on record in support of the legalisation of prostitution.

I told you. Both the Old Right and the New Right think that UKIP is, solely, specially and exclusively of, by and for them. As it were, they cannot both be right. Neither is prepared to be part of a broader coalition. Each feels that has been there, done that, and ritually burned the T-shirt.

But the same party cannot be solely, specially and exclusively of, by and for both conservatives and libertarians (Neville describes himself on his Twitter page as "an Anarchist. No Gods No Masters"), both Unionists and English separatists, both economic patriots and "free"-marketeers, both foreign policy realists who put Britain and the Commonwealth first and those who wish to make the world anew at the barrel of a gun commanded by an American in the interests of an Israeli.

Those of you whingeing about the Obama Administration's intervention, expressing the same view as every one of its predecessors since the 1940s, you are the ones who want the whole world to be run by America.
 
UKIP is starting to unravel. That unravelling will not take long.

  1. This is bizarre.

    You refer to UKIP as "amateurish", as if MP's and Ministers in mainstream parties haven't made numerous public blunders.

    You then question their conservatism-on the basis that their leader used to support something (same sex marriage) which the leader of your favourite Labour Party STILL SUPPORTS!

    Where's the logic in that?

    Nigel Farage didn't destroy Britain's grammar schools, legalise easy abortion and easy divorce, subject Britain to a Nice Treaty and and then a European Constitution.

    That was all your party's work.

  2. Keep your nervous breakdown to yourself. Understandable though it is, in view of the circumstances described in this post.

  3. He didn‘t question Farage‘s conservatism on the basis that he opposes same-sex ‘marriage‘. Just highlighted the nonsense of kicking someone out for a view you‘re on the record as supporting.

    UKIP are just the favourite protest of choice for disaffected Tories and are therefore trying to be all things to all people.

    It could never have lasted.

  5. Hahaha you think UKIP have some ideological divisions to work through?

    They are a storm in a teacup compared to the almighty siesmic splits in the Labour Party if Ed Miliband were to, say, rebuild the grammar schools, leave the European Union, or freeze all potential immigration. Or legislate against gay marriage.

    That would be the end of him and the end of any pretence of ideological unity within Labour.

    Only their poll ratings keep the splits under wraps for now. Believe me, theyre coming.
