Ukip's leader Nigel Farage argues that his party have not peaked in popularity and that next year's elections to the European parliament will be an acid test. He says that his party will borrow ideas from think tanks and adopt tactics from the Liberal Democrats in a bid to win a cluster of MPs at the next election

I have had it with the LIBLABCON, I have voted all my life for two of the three parties and wheres that got us? its now time to switch my vote to UKIP, yes pathaps that will let some other paty in but in the end its my vote and I can vote for whom I like.

[@aferdix]

Lucid, fast, effective, powerful. This is the big magic friend Nigel Farage. Keep on fighting, Nigel. We all stand up for you! You're so cool. Many warm greetings from Italy!

The EU also affects nearly every aspect of UK life and is draining the life from the economy. The EU doesn't allow the UK to negotiate trade deals with the US, Canada, China, India, or any growing part of the world. Instead the EU officials negotiate "on behalf of" the UK AND all member states. This is VERY bad for the UK. Why? Let's say the UK could get better goods from India or China but that would mean they stop buying from the German competitor.The German dominated EU prevents such deals.

I'm putting a tenner on UKIP getting no more than 3 seats

[@francescozappone2776]

You opened my eyes with what you sent me, and I know Farage but I do not know anything about the other members of UKIP and based on this I have to tell you that you're right and I apologize. Will cut off all my comments apart from that, I wish you again a good afternoon and thank you for the interview which is concerned for me very enlightening.

[@liambunter]

Great

[@BetrayalbandUK]

Go on Farage!!!!

[@francescozappone2776]

I'm not racist, however, and in the words of Farage I've never heard of racism but only regulate the immigrant issue which is a good thing.

[@thamnosma]

Not bad, this interviewer was pointed without being condescending. Wish it were a longer video.

“I believe that human brilliance manifests itself only in flashes, among rare individuals. For this reason, humanity as a whole is enormously destructive: the creation of something as devastating as Western culture, which is now allowed to spread throughout the world, offers sufficient proof of this fact.” ― Pentti Linkola (Finnish Eco-Nazi), “Can Life Prevail?”

[@nosay2930]

I totally agree with a lot of their policies. But a vote for them is going to put Labour in power. Unfortunately, that is what will happen

[@bazzowaynetta1668]

What's the alternative, let Cameron drag us further down into the clutches of Federalist Europe. He's always stated he will campaign to keep us inside the EU. Traditional Tories with conviction need to see the light and jump Ship!!

Just when you thought Ukip had reached their nadir with Godfrey Bloom’s rant about “bongo bongo land”, Hugh Williams, the party's assistant treasurer pops up having penned a book detailing a non-PC history of the world. Within Williams’ self-published, 350-page tome, the 67-year-old claims that Winston Churchill admired his fellow wartime leaders Hitler and Stalin, and that the brutal Nazi invasion of Poland was a result of “goading” by Warsaw.

UKIP is out-polling the Tories in many areas and it may turn out on general election day that if anything the Tories are taking away from UKIP. But UKIP takes votes from across the spectrum, and brings in a large portion of new voters who would have never voted before or within 20 years. So it's not necessarily taking directly from the Tories as much as you think. And the Tories themselves have unfortunately under Cameron's leadership turned into a new social democrat party.

[@francescozappone2776]

I had not got the notification of this comment. Informed, however, the unemployment that caused the euro in the southern states.

[@PoliticsCoUkLondon]

Shop for policies in the supermarket. Interesting concept.

[@benbignell81]

The interviewer is a well known labour party supporter. I have seen him a number of times on the politics show talking up the last labour government and he does not have a positive thing to say about conservatives or UKIP when questioned. A typical Guardian journalist, hoping Ed Milliband has a personality transplant.

[@Cyrus255]

UKIP has great policies, it has been leading the charge for liberty in the UK, they are a libertarian party, and are opposed to wars (i.e. Syria) They are also for bringing back grammar schools (UKIP is the one who put the spotlight there and other parties are now trying to copy them), and for opening trade with the Commonwealth and signing free trade deals with the GROWING part of the world, which the UK today cannot because the EU doesn't allow it's members to negotiate trade unilaterally.

[@nosay2930]

Change the leader and I will agree with you.

[@bazzowaynetta1668]

It is very difficult to say given there are so many EU directives that apply to existing Law. Figures vary from 9.1% which is vastly inaccurate all the way to 84%. What ever the true figure, it's not what the British people went to a referendum on in 1975 and the sooner we get our say and leave, the better!

[@Cyrus255]

Trade is very tactical, and often very cutthroat, almost like war. That's why the word "trade war" is often used. To allow "EU diplomats" who represent 28 countries to negotiate on behalf of the UK, is like letting 27 opposing teams in a sport choose which players you get to sign on. They all want to negotiate in their own best interests' not in your best interests. The Franco-German interests are closely aligned towards industry, whereas the UK is more finance based, so it's a very bad mix.

[@nosay2930]

Where do you get 75% from. Where is this data. Come on now, I'm not as stupid as you think.

[@nosay2930]

Agreed I do believe that the UK is unable to exist within the EU. Japan are already talking about pulling car production if we leave. This will cause a great amount of job losses. It has also been mentioned that Airbus projects could be under threat according to Flight int. We can go back to the Commonwealth cap in hand as we shat on them in 75. It's going to hit the UK very hard. Yes, it is a good flag waver for the vote catchers, but it has a serious problematic side too.

[@jamesahmed1889]

Obviously he will do poor in a guardian poll it's left he is far right

[@liambunter]

Lucky not to be in the euro what good has it done us not being in it? Our wages have dropped by more than 25% over the last ten years, Not many euro countries can follow that

[@W0ll0H]

GO NIGEL

[@liambunter]

You ,My friend, are living in dream world, Thaey won't get a single seat, not one

[@nosay2930]

Not a change in hell. I agree with so much of what they have to say, but I wouldn't trust him as far as I could spit.

[@liambunter]

Thank you for you kind words .I'm glad you understand my point, Things aren't always as they seem ! check out: chrisspivey.co.uk or check out aangirfan , there's loads of good info out there if you look for it good night and thank you for your input

[@barrywhite478]

And you're not a racist ? And you refer to people as 'them' who are these people Italy needs 500,000 immigrants per year just to stand still, As all your young people have left

[@bazzowaynetta1668]

And it's attitudes like yours that will halt real change in British PPolitics. Have you not learned by now that the Contemporary Tory party do not represent traditional views anymore. If you believe in Ukip, go with conviction and vote for them. If everyone who feels traditiona; parties do not represent them anymore actually did that, i'm sure the likes of caMORON would start to listen!

[@barrywhite478]

Bollocks you should sort your own politics out before commenting on others
