I thought that I was in tune with UKIP, but the quiz has me down as being 73% Labour and only 54% UKIP.
Surprisingly I was 61% Tory and also partly in tune with the welsh one whose name I cannot remember (or spell).
Big Jon’s dad:
http://uk.isidewith.com/This is a quiz to see which party most closely matches your opinions.
UKIP apparently does have some policies according to this quiz.
I most closely matched UKIP at 92% then Conservatives at 87%
I match, in descending order:
Green (91%)
Scottish Nationals (81%)
Lib Dems 
(78%)
Labour (77%)
Plaid Cymru (72%)
Er, UKIP 
(20%)
So there we go. Not too many surprises for me at the top end of the scale - the Greens will indeed be my protest party of choice, if I choose to throw my vote away instead of using it - but I was certainly surprised to find myself agreeing with UKIP’s stance on legalising drugs, on assisted suicide and on university tuition fees.
Harry Monk:
I really can’t see any UKIP candidate having a problem trouncing the Conservative candidate, a 32 year old Oxbridge lawyer and director of Christies isn’t really going to understand the problems the people of Newark face.
The really do look like actors in a very bad satire. And what’s up with her? Looks like 30, dresses like 80.
So, again, why doesn’t nige have a crack, get himself into Westminster.
Each to his own as far as his misses goes. I call mine kronenbourg, she looks 16 from the back & 64 from the front.

I got 92% Green party.
Looks like it’s Quorn and sandals from now on.

But I wouldn’t vote for her . . . .

I look forward to your comments after the 22nd of May, when the people of this once great country have had their say.I will be voting for UKIP along with most people. Why? because they are offering an alternative to the status quo that I want. I have been mislead by other parties over the years, saying one thing and then doing something quite different. UKIP might well be a one trick pony at the minute, but the support for that trick is massive and justified.
Spot on, I wish I had said that.
You can have them now if you want. I fully expect ukip to have very good results from the European elections. The thing is that they could win all 87 seats available to the uk & could still do nothing about the European Parliament. There are 751 seat in that parliament so even if they did bother to vote, which they rarely do, they could achieve nothing. Their trick is getting you to believe they can.
When it comes to the general election next year people will vote differently, believe it or not, not everyone in the uk wants out of Europe.
I do love the way all the ukip followers on here think that they will walk in No 10 next year though, and overnight simply rectify all the problems in the transport sector. Do the have a transport policy btw. I know Big Jons dad, you don’t care, but some of us have to stay here & work, not bugger off to another country when it goes ■■■■ up.
BillyHunt:
So, again, why doesn’t nige have a crack, get himself into Westminster.
Because he’s content to wait until next year’s General Election, where he will almost certainly be contesting the Thanet South constituency, where he stood in 2005. On that occasion he lost (to Dr Stephen Ladyman, the Labour candidate) but UKIP have soared in popularity since then.
The current MP, the Conservative Laura Sandys, has already announced that she will be standing down at the next election. Although it is officially denied, “word on the street” is that she knows she will be facing a UKIP landslide.
My guess is that you will go very quiet after the European elections next month.

If you’d care to read the post above you’d see what I think will happen. Going very quiet isn’t something I do really, I am looking forward to all the crowing & I told you so posts though. Who said politics is boring?
If UKIP were lucky enough to win all 87 Euro seats dosen’t that indicate the general feeling in the UK about the EU and if this feat were possible surely the Westminster politicians should call for a referendum immeadiately,they won’t I know because they know exactly what the outcome would be.It would also be highly amusing to be a “fly on the wall” in the Euro Parliment to see the whole UK block of 87 UKIP MEP’s shouting the odds,what sort of signal would that send to the rabid Eurocrats and how would that dupliceous ■■■■ Clegg defend our continued membership when he wouldn’t have one LibDem MEP there !! It’s a bit like Cameron spouting about Scotland not leaving the Union when there are more Pandas in Scotland than conservative MP’s,I don’t know why he bothers and if the Scots do get their indipendance Cameron will be toast anyway as he will go down in history as the British Prime minister who presided over the break up of the Union.Come on Nige my Son you can shake the ■■■■■■■■■ up big style they are ■■■■■■■■ their pants at the thought of you trouncing them next month.Vote UKIP yea !!!

Question-----Who would you rather have a pint or two or three with hic! hic!,Cameron,Clegg,Red Ed or Nige ?
The downturn in Transport is often blamed on “long term higher fuel prices”. The lack of safety abroad has a lot to do with it as well. Euro tramping for example, used to be considered a “cushy job” that was well paid. Now? - Not only more days away from home for mark-time money at best, but you’ve got all those liabilities of £2500 fines for each stowaway in your load, then being bundled because you dared to slow down when approaching Calais docks homeward bound… FFS It ain’t safe any more out there. We’ve got kids bombarding us with breeze blocks, no speke English still getting benefits, despite us being lied to that “they don’t”, and the crime waves that go with it. Insurance costs are increasing, and the firm’s way of dealing with it is to try and palm US - the workforce - off with paying employer insurance costs for them.
At the start of all this though was the knee-jerk reaction to 9/11. We’re told to “mistrust” Islamists, “don’t conform” with Christianity, Treat Eastern religions like some Fantasy game thing, and only take good old Zionist “let the rich few control the many disenfranchised” - only to blame all the fallout from such policy on “someone else”. Events in Greece, Egypt, & Ukraine are always put to us with a “political correctness” bent that merely accelerates the breakdown in those societies. No one is listening to the majority - just the media & lawmakers controlled by the minority.
Europe has become a monster. We’re better off out of it, because the beast is awake, and someone has lost the padlock to the cage.
We can’t chuckle that the “cage is open, but the beast is asleep” anymore.
Already, Germany doesn’t want us to leave the EU… That’s not for the good of us, but for the good of Germany.
As for the PC thing - I’m fed up with being told I’m “racist” merely because I object to being right-royally shafted (by white people) at every turn. I haven’t an enemy in the world who’s black, yellow red, or whatever. All my enemies are considerably richer than yauww, white, already over here, and pretty much in control of policy, law, media, food supply, and the workforces of several major firms as it is.

That’s the spirit, keep banging that drum. Oh by the way, all the pandas in the world are owned by China, if you see any outside of that country they are on loan.
One could substitute the word “Credit” for “Pandas” there. 
The only Pandas not on Loan from China are the ones parked at the police station.

‘…We’ve been told that “Our position in Europe will be re-negotiated” - Ok then, how come not right now…’
It won’t be ever 
The whole of the (unelected) EU mandarin elite are laughing at us UK saps believing it as even vaguely possible. They won’t facilitate it. Full stop.
Winseer:
‘… As a “one trick pony” you don’t discard the only popular policy you have…’
Whilst I’m not their mouthpiece, surely UKIP are also advocating restoring a UK strength to trade freely with the whole world and are the only anti-HS2 party - so maybe stop peddling the ‘single issue’ myth because along with the ‘out’ issue, there are three to begin with 
Yeh, that’s true. If you’re an oxfordshire former tory voter - you’ve got a new party to vote for now!
I made argument that HS1 (that runs through medway where I live) brought NO economic prosperity here whatsoever. Ashford, London, and Ebbslfeet got it all. Now house prices in those areas are sky-high, much industrial work is based around there, and mugs like me are expected to commute there to work. You’d think that both Tory and Labour MPs standing for Oxfordshire wards would have less chance of getting a seat than a deaf kid playing musical chairs - but we’ll just have to wait until next year to see if Cameron himself might get busted out of his WItney seat. 
For all of you desperate to vote ukip & get us out of Europe. Take the time to read this just so you understand the consequences.

They’re threats rather than conzequences. We couuld have abandoned Poland to Hitler in 1939, and that way not only would no Brits have been killed in what became WWII, but we’d by now have reached the same point with one of Hitler’s sucessors - They’ve already got the continent wrapped up tight as a drum, and they only await the UK to cast our final powers away to them to make complete the “German conquest of Europe”.
‘Free trade’ is supposed to be just that - has no strings attached, nor incentives one way or other. The best quality, value, and quantity produced gets all the business. Everyone else doesn’t get a look in, because if you offer goods for sale in a large market that you are unknown too, they’ll ignore you until you are large enough to play properly. Chicken and the egg scenario. You don’t get grants and bank loans to “market” your product. You’re expected to already have a thriving “home front” business before talking about expanding intoi Europe. Banks only want to lend to people they can skim profits out of. Fair enough. Why don’t they stop service industry pushers from borrowing money as well then? - New service startups have a terrible “burn rate” of the fresh capital (much of it borrowed) that makes the UK look like a right spivvy place to start up ANY kind of new business…
Europeans won’t stop buying our stuff just because we’re no longer employing their unemployed any more. They’ll even still be prepared to come over here and get it. Likewise, once we’re out of Europe, it will become more fashionable again for us Brits to treath the continent as a tourist destination rather than a rival outfit attempting to cost us money, take our jobs, and then not buying anywhere near enough of our stuff to make up for it.
If they were after all, we, the great British workforce that is prepared to work around the clock (unlike Europeans) would be snapped up in a head-hunting exercise like no other! Think of it as an “extreme form of auf wiedersehen pet” if you like.
Economic migrants in ANY direction should be moving to get the top jobs - not barest minimm wages, because there’s just no work at all where they’ve come from. THAT system stinks, and it needs to end. Britain leaving the EU would precipitate that.
Hardly threats, just something to think about. Anyone who thinks it will all be beer & skittles if we get out and everything will change overnight is a moron, and let’s face it, even if we had a referendum it’s not a forgone conclusion they we would vote to get out.
As I’ve said before, why does everyone on here think that everything will change for the better if we get out? Yes we may get rid of the WTD, I say may because no politician has mentioned it, but what else?
Well. I must say that if we don’t try we’ll never know. You didn’t know the fire could burn until you stuck your hand in!
How did we manage before the EU, stuck here like a boil just off the arse off Europe, no one had ever heard of us, we hadn’t got two ha’pennys to rub together, without our collective EU mummy we’re doomed DOOMED i tell yer.
