Nigel Farage, leader of the United Kingdom Independence
Party has appeared on many news programmes today following his historic triumph
in the 2014 European Elections. He says that the European Election result is
the most remarkable in politics for over a hundred years, and he's right; see: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-27567744.
I've written about
UKIP before here: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/is-ukip-on-our-side.html.
It's true that these results are very revolutionary and that
pattern is reflected across the rest of the continent with formerly fringe
political movements becoming as popular, or even overtaking, the traditional A-list
parties. UKIP has gained eleven new MEP's and almost an eleven percent share of
the vote. It has knocked Labour and the Tories into third place in some
quarters, something which has not happened almost since those parties were
formed. My own Euro constituency now has mostly UKIP MEP's, when it had
formerly been Conservative or Labour since the European Parliament was formed. There
are calls for Nick Clegg to resign as Liberal Democrat leader after his party
was almost annihilated, losing all but one of its seats and finishing behind
the Greens. At the same time the far right Front
National in France has made enormous gains (Its founder and chairman Jean-Marie
le Pen has obviously been listening to Erik Pianka, see: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/may/21/jean-marie-le-pen-ebola-population-explosion-europe-immigration)
as has the leftist anti-EU front SYRIZA,
topping the polls in Greece. The general trend has been radicalization, voters
are moving away from the moderate spectral centre and into the polarities of
both the left and right wing. It's obvious why; people are fed up with the European
Union itself, with its economic sinkholes like the Eurozone Crisis, corruption like
the Lisbon Treaty, the financial devastation by the European Central Bank of
countries like Ireland, Greece and Spain, and its increasing detachment from
the lives of its citizens. A lot of people are worried too about migration
within the EU and immigration from outside it.
Very good article. It takes consideration and genuine awareness to see things in a constructive manner as this. Don't get fooled again people!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Xylomet. I hope enough people can see through the UKIP honeymoon.
ReplyDeleteGood article. UKIP are a nasty strain of controlled opposition hence all the MSM coverage. Some further analysis here:

Thanks for the link, Anon. Indeed this is true, as I explain in the background articles. UKIP is part of the "Friends of Israel" movement that all the other parties are.
ReplyDeleteHi Ben, an excellent article and I agree with you regarding the EU being created against the will of the people, but the very fact that a referendum has not been given to us,shows there is an agenda behind all this!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anon. And you're absolutely right. We may get a referendum at some point, but only when it can be rigged.
