Can UKIP resolve their existential EU referendum paradox?

Without UKIP there would be no 2017 EU referendum. But if the Out side wins they could become irrelevant because they "won". If the In side wins they could become irrelevant because they "lost". They need to resolve the paradox, via a massive new push in political ideas, and electoral reform

UKIP’s future: Ridding Britain of Labour

UKIP now needs to drop the anti-Conservative agenda and fight a more mature battle: to lock out Labour for good. And if that sounds like a strategy designed to help the Tories, well consider this tantalising thought: You Kippers could become the second party in British politics. Ready?

If you care about the EU this election, vote Conservative

This will drive UKIP supporters up the wall. But the electoral maths, the nature of our system, and the positions of the major parties come together like this: If more British independence from the EU is a priority for you, you've got to vote Conservative on May 7

Why UKIP is better for immigrants than Labour or the Tories

The mainstream media that has portrayed UKIP as anti-immigrant has spectacularly missed the point. UKIP offers real hope to immigrants in a way that Conservatives and Labour can't understand. Whatever you have heard, many love UKIP's Euroscepticism too, and for good reason

The disgrace of Cameron disrespecting the British people by not turning up for the election debate was a gift to Nigel Farage. The Left populists were what they were. The MSM didn't get the point that we're fed up with garbage-level debate. It was a panorama of Thick Britain, and the BBC loved its far-Left audience

The Guardian knows full well that it's lying about UKIP and immigration, but the prejudices of their core readership demand a dishonest smear, so a dishonest smear is what they are given. Yes, UKIP wants us to be like neo-fascist, er, Australia!
