I mean, it is true that Cameron is in trouble but not for any of the reasons you think. It's all 100% anti-EU motivated and Cameron just has to move that way a bit to kill off UKIP by cutting off their only policy point. I hope he doesn't, but he might.
The one thing this is not - is good news for Cameron. If he's lost his base, he's done for. I don't think he'll have the brains to try to go against the EU - and I don't think he'll do that either. He'll keep following the ship and go down with it. .
Or keep a coallition together. And they aren't strong enough to win a general election now.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

And they are choosing to make their voice heard by abandoning the Conservative party. I predicted this, and it's happening. It will continue to happen as the folks in the UK that feel left out and not represented when they hear the UKIP is the only party that speaks for them.
Originally posted by Ben Kenobi View PostThis isn't rocket science. The UKIP has an established brand which includes opposition to gay marriage, getting out of the EU, etc, things which only they stand for.

Same things they always have which is basically small government, low taxation.
They are also, under Cameron, socially liberal which despite what you might think reflects the majority view in the country but they've historically often been more socially liberal than the Labour party.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

Gay rights was a big fight a decade or so back and back then it was important enough to people to make a difference.
I'll stop you right here and now. People do care. Some very important ones too. This is an important issue. Arguing that 'nobody cares' because you believe your own position has consensus is bull****. You care very much about social liberalism. At least be honest here. Social issues are very important to you.
These days, apart from a small number of religious craziesYou folks are already trying to get the Catholic church to do them, which is going to be good for a laugh.
England, always the good friend of the Church. What's next a de-emancipation act again?
people got to see that gays are disappointingly no more exciting or dangerous than anyone else.
It takes a special sort of idiot to not be able to tell the difference between a Euro and a Pound.
Is there any evidence that spending has actually gone down? Austerity is pretty much a fictional buzzword that means, exactly what, I'm not quite sure.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.
