#WhyImVotingUKIP

Found a very funny post of people with fairly funny reasons for voting UKIP, thought i'd share. http://www.buzzfeed.com/alanwhite/21-reasons-people-on-twitter-say-theyre-voting-ukip

so a perfectly legitimate reason is illegitimised when somebody in a funny voice says it?

A legitimate reason being 'they took our jobs'? Do you even understand how helpful immigrants are to our countries economy?

All UKIP are is a protest party, and they demand a referendum on the EU.

When they referendum is called, the UK majority vote to stay in the UK, what does Farage do then? Moan for another 10 years before we have another one?

He will be completely finished. The whole point of his annoying little small-time party will be wiped to the floor. Finito. If I was Supreme Leader Cameron, I would get on with it so we can get back to 2 party politics, like we all enjoy.

how do "we" enjoy a lack of electoral choice? I don't understand that at all

if there was no minimum wage I might agree with you, but when there are less jobs based on that fact, immigrants often take the lower paying jobs that younger people from this country often need for experience. if there is any economic aid, it's not at all better than the problem it poses to employment for local citizens. if there was a company or an industry where hardly anybody wanted to work for them, immigrants could be contracted out for a specified time period to work for them, but that's not what happens - they come here to live and *then* look for jobs usually. and I shouldn't even need to mention the fact that for every immigrant that takes a job that a local citizen would have taken, there isn't exactly a local citizen going into their country to take the job they otherwise would have taken in their own country.

You forget that our welfare system (pre Cameron reforms) make being out of work easier than having a job. The lack of incentive for people to take jobs means that the immigrants take them instead (many businesses feel that immigrants work harder and for less pay - in jobs that offer more than minimum wage). People then get angry that someone who has immigrated has taken 'their' job even though a lot of them are too lazy to get a job!

My friends may view me as slightly right wing, but saying that we shouldn't have immigrants in our country is a step to far.

Isn't conservative's main point on how the other parties won't give us a referendum on the EU, but they will?

I don't think the Conservatives have definitely agreed on a referendum - they're kind of sitting on the fence at the moment.

but surely the problem at the moment is that jobs have become so rare that people don't look for them enough, and then immigrants come in, obviously because literally any job in the UK is problem better than what they'd get in eastern europe, and take what little jobs are even available, making people even more apathetic to the cause of finding jobs? and who's saying we shouldn't have immigrants? the aim is to control immigration, not completely stop it forever

There facebook page says differently, constant propaganda on how they'll give us a referendum.

I agree with the control of immigration as well, but I don't think we should blame immigrants for our problems when many are very helpful. The whole ideology about 'English jobs for English people' is completely wrong and if anyone feels that way inclined they should vote English Democrat.

When? They've been in power for quite some time now.

agreed - david cameron's gone from "yes" to "no" and then back to "yes" when he promised a referendum in 2009, then he said "I don't want an in out referendum" in 2011 and now he's changed his mind again and making us vote for him to get it - why should we have to do that when he's already lied? 'makes me sick...
