I dislike them in such precisely equal amounts that I can't make this decision. They're both filled with people who want to stamp their redundant morals into the individual.

UKIP as they actually understand the current troubles in todays society rather than blaming everything on "Global warming". In my opinion, each party should have an aspect that focuses on the environment and climate change rather than having an entire party devoted to it.

Yeah but at least all of greens bad ideas are about trees, whereas UKIPs is just racism wrapped up as politics
Greens, UKIP are generally a bunch of thatcherites and social conservatives, whereas the greens despite focusing too much on the environment have relatively economically sensible policies which will help people.

£71 per week for every citizen in The UK at a cost of £200-odd billion for UK taxpayers, all to save on a £3 billion administrative burden?

Yeah, makes sense.

You say this as though the people paying get none of the money back.

Are we?

For a start it's a much simpler system, it means people always have an incentive to work and would ensure people aren't dying on the street. Also I like the fact you think the only people who exist are scroungers, middle classes and the rich.

Ukip.

Ukip are simply a more extreme version of the Tories on most issues while the Greens are dangerous radicals on the border between socialism and social democracy.

That said, i think that Ukip are a symptom of the UK's blame culture and i don't like Farage so it would take a lot for me to vote for them.
UKIP for me always, the fact is I am right wing so it is no question, and I support UKIP lol

If you actually did some research into the Green Party, you'd realise that they most certainly do not blame everything on global warming (not sure why you've put it in speech marks).

The fact you find it hard to vote for UKIP over the Greens is scary. It should be easy out of those two. One wants to destroy the capitalist system, the other wants to maintain it. One wants uncontrolled mass migration while the other wants controlled migration. One wants to scrap trident while the other does not. One want to scrap the military while the other does not. One wants to make terror group membership non-illegal while the other wants to stamp out terror. One wants to reduce the deficit while the other wants to increase it by 100s of billions. One wants to remove the welfare cap and increase it exponentially while the other wants to reduce it. One wants maintain the current high rate of tax while the other wants to increase it to 80+%.

This should not even be a contest. If you were to vote out of these two, it should be UKIP without question and it should not "take a lot to vote for them"

I would actually vote Green; while admittedly, they're probably not leadership material due to the size, most of the policies are based on sound logic.

And Thatcherism would do this?

:s-smilie:

It's an easy choice between Ukip and the Greens. I was pointing out that it's still unlikely i'll be voting Ukip soon though in our current multi-party system (although the rise of Farron makes them about equal with spoilt ballot for my second preference).

I am no supporter of the Greens but I agree. Every time I hear a member of the Green's speak, they talk more about the system, the rich and the corporations compared to the environment. The lib dems talk more about the environment and arguably Corbyn.
UKIP; Mainly because they understand nuclear energy would solve more problems than any of these unreliable renewable power sources would. The Greens also want rid of Trident which is ridiculous and leaves us more vulnerable. Their policies just seem more common sense where as the Greens want to legalise terrorism.
