        I blame lazy politics! 👈Anyone working in Whitehall(civil service) has an annual incremental pay. So all they need to do is sit there each year doing little to gain higher pay.👈🤷‍♀️I’m convinced this is how it all began.👈And responsibility increments are very quick to gain.

        This is a party with zero seats in the House of Commons. Do they deserve such media exposure by the BBC?

        Polls are speculation not facts. What is also a fact is their complete lack of EU procedures and of activity in the EU parliament

        Yes, you're right. Polls are samples, not results, as 2016 Brexit proved. And the last GE where TM got more votes than other Leaders in decades. She lost her majority on the unfair social care' tax combined with Labour lie to abolish uni fees, denied later!

        Your reply has nothing to do with the original post. Austerity and casual xenophobia are not exactly the magic ingredients for winning an election.

        Kosta you don't seem to understand the word 'xenophobia' - @UKIP immigration policy is to control immigration so UK gets the skills we need and will only allow immigrants who will integrate fully into UK. This is what 'controlled immigration' means it doesn't mean 'xenophobia'.

        i can perfectly understand the word xenophobia. When you speak of full integration you imply that all UK citizens are fully integrated. Do you actually believe we are all integrated? Considering vast inequalities in education, housing and income how can we be?

        'Integration' does not mean 'communism' Kosta - integration means no segregation and respect for our society. If you want to see everybody have the exact same amount of wealth and property then you want communism....
