I believe that we need more discussion about the EU. Until we get out and have a proper debate/discussion about what we want from it UKIP get my vote. They will lose the next election, but hopefully will gain in the one after. All the main three parties are very much alike, which is another reason for voting UKIP

I reckon the next right-wing government will be either what the Tories turn into in response to competition from UKIP or a new right-wing party that replaces the Tories after they're effectively destroyed by competition from UKIP. Either way, voting for UKIP is the best way to bring it about.

His comparison is a bit off, partly because parties and politics work differently here than they do there, and partly because he's not looking at polls. None of the candidates here is affecting the direction of the party, because none of them is in any kind of a leadership position. And sure, there are conservatives unhappy with the choices, but no matter how much comes out about Rudy's liberal social views, his numbers keep rising in the polls.

We're at war. Social issues take a back seat to strong leadership and national defense. That is the reason for Rudy's popularity.

Trouble is that another 5 years of Labour and Britain will be a basket case. The reason why Cameron has to be left of Labour is because Brown has turned most of what lives North of London into a client society. Either employed by the government or dependent on it through benefit.
