peck Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) Could someone explain to me why Nigel Farage always seems to be either on telly or in the papers. He is the leader of a party that only has one MP , so what makes him so important.?

loriusgarrulus Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Maybe his lies are more interesting than the other MP's lies are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 He represents a groundswell of opinion concerning the EU and immigration that is rising fast. Had you asked the question a week ago he would have been leader of a party with no MPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 He is the only leader answering questions on many people's lips. If mass immigration is a problem today - and it is - how bad will it be in twenty years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STOTTO Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 The higher they build him up the further he has to fall and so creating more media interest, backing the horse both-ways so to speak. The only downside for Nige, is that if the UKIP campaign hits the skids he can only fall to the depths that the other parties have already fallen to in the eyes of the electorate!

Tim85 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Because our media are only interested in telling a story to get people to read their websites or watch their channel. They tend to forget things like 150 syrians being beheaded recently by IS because only UK people matter. Sorry small rant there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nail on head your bang on right, this country is what matters, not what goes on elsewhere. America has a death penalty don't see us chucking ordinance at them, plenty of places have justice systems not in keeping with ours, don't make them wrong us right.What Isis do in other countries matters to that country. We're only getting involved to try and stem the flow coming here. If they stayed in the country of origin we would never get involved. Nige is one who is interested in this countries well being not pandering to Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim85 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 I wasn't really highlighting ISIS in particular here chaps, just the fact that our media is very biased lol. Hence why Farage is in the press. Its what they think the public want to read about so its in your face at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islandgun Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 whilst agreeing in principle with UKIPS policy on europe I can see no good reason to suppose that farage will prove to be any better than the rouges gallery on post 75 in the clacton thread, A bunch of career troughers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Farage is likeable and would he be any worse than the present lot? Some will say yes, but why? I don't relate to Cameron - just doesn't do what he promises and seems weak. Ed Milliband is just too weird. Nick Clegg merely irritates me with his false sincerity and Tony Blair hand waving. Tough as jelly. The three above just dodge questions on immigration and try to focus on their own agenda. The electorate seems to be turning against them. Not before time.

Dick Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 As a life long Tory, I shall vote UKIP. I think that if he gets the chance we will be out of Europe.....or in it on our terms and there will be a much needed initiative on stopping imigration and repatriating those that should not be here. Yes, you could say that he will become another politician, but I doubt it. He is passionate about Great Britain being British.....good enough for me. More defections will give him greater credibility and much needed Parliamental experience. What he speaks is common sense......not politics And, he drinks beer and shoots. Time will tell though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjh Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 I must admit I have been swayed towards UKIP, I have had a look at their policies and I like almost all of them, I just cant square the issue of leaving the EU I am happy to enter renegotiations and have an EU light, retain the trade agreements scrap the meddling & taxation. Boarder control and immigration are spot on as are UKIP`s values on a fair days pay for a fair days work. They do need to have some sort of succession planning in place for Nigel Farage.
