SodjesSixteenIncher Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Thoughts, predictions, hopes for tomorrow? Anyone live down that way? Would be a total sare yin for "but, but we're all just one people on this island" types if England consecutively did what Scotland never could and elect UKIP in a first past the post vote. Surely that won't happen. For those of us wanting as many progressive people in Westminster as possible, who's our best bet on the ballot paper tomorrow?

Adamski Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 UKIP have this in the bag if the bookies are to believed. It's just a question of how much they'll win by, and whether it's a protest and they'll revert back to the Tories in the general election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivo den Bieman Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 not quite, he suggested that all migrants would be allowed to stay following a Brexit during a "transition period" slapped down today by UKIP's golf club jakey leader, who stated that, er, migrants would be allowed to stay as long as they were here legally. UKIP will stroll this by-election but I think the Tories will take it back next year in the General Election. Expect a nasty general election full of dog-whistle immigration soundbites and just as uncertain an outcome as last time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaffenThinMint Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 As I said weeks ago, UKIP had this bagged and tagged from the start. The media are concentrating on immigration being the main local issue, & completely missing the point why Reckless' defection happened (the Calais business was more or less the last straw) and why this most Tory of constituencies can't wait to deliver a loud "up yours" to not merely Westminster, but especially the local council. The Greens appear to have enjoyed a very good campaign on the back of concentrating on a threatened local hospital & like Reckless on the threat to the Hoo peninsula from developers. "Conspiracy theory ahoy!" time as well in that they've been harassing the puny Britain First mutants (usually the job of the Student Gwant types) to stress their anti-racism credentials, whilst leaving UKIP largely alone. Their target appears to be beat the Lib Dems by a noticeable amount - if they do so, expect blind panic in the Lubble ranks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to take a while for that to happen considering 5% of EU migrants at the very most, claim for out of work benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bairn Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 True, however what the other 95% do is take a job that a British person could be doing, forcing said British person into benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they take the jobs that work shy Brits don't want. Swings and roundabouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a vote in this today, I'm proud to say. I'm less proud to say that I will be voting for the Conservatives for the first and hopefully last time in my life. Last Saturday, I had the pleasure of listening to a couple of old biddies, airing their views on life, in a coffee shop in Strood. Remarkably they were both wearing yellow visibility vests with "UKIP Scotland" emblazoned on the back. Surely a contradiction? Even more remarkably, that wasn't the most striking thing about them. That was their advice on health care to anyone listening, whereby they recommended regular intake of bicarbonate of soda to ward off cancer. Their evidence of success being that they both do this regularly and neither of them has cancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm certain this will happen too, sadly. The Medway towns should be easy pickings for Labour - yet they completely c**t it up year on year.

If said Brit is fired because they have found someone better at their job, where their replacement comes from will have f**k all to do with it.
