t UKIP is run by and for the swivel-eyed fruitbats that used to live on the fringes of the Conservative party.
Careful, you're showing your lefty political illiteracy again. I have run over this in previous posts, yet you are still not facing up to the facts and going with the tribalistic commentary.
I do agree with the notion that it's ridiculous to scrap teaching about global warming.
However, my position on the carbon taxes remain unchanged.
The appeal to hypocrisy is generally accepted as fallacious argument.
As the wording of my post might have suggested to you, I am implying that UKIP is chasing the same sources of funding as those parties. This would concern me if I were a UKIP member.
One either makes a change or one does not. It is like Nigel Farage sitting in the European Parliament. He does not need to be there (in terms of contribution to "democratic" procedures"), but he does need to be there at the same time, to spread the message of EU-scepticism through a big platform.
UKIP now face an extremely well-funded Conservative and Labour party. They
need to keep up to make a change. They
have to keep up with the bigger parties in terms of campaigning in the next 100 days leading to the general election.
If you could only focus a little of that critical thought in the direction of UKIP we wouldn't be having this discussion.
I quite clearly rebuked the point.
I don't care that this moron went from Conservative to UKIP (like everyone else who counts in UKIP). He's an ideological reprobate that any party should be embarrassed to host.
He no longer holds this opinion. He has changed parties and UKIP is clear on a free-at-the-point of use health service. Innocent until proven guilty.
If you had started a thread on what's wrong with Labour I would have obliged you. As it is this one is about UKIP and so far we have seen that they are scientifically illiterate, chasing the city's cash, and opposed to the NHS. The poor man's Conservative party.
"
Poor Man's Conservative Party"
You, despite my previous posts, have failed utterly to understand what UKIP stands for. And you keep making out that it is a "Conservative" party. It certainly is not. If you actually look at the demographic of UKIP voters for yourself, you will find that 1/3 are ex-Labour, 1/3 are ex-Tory, 20% are people who have never voted before, and the rest are ex-other parties. You must clear away your tribalistic political views. Oh, and thanks for calling me a poor man.
"
Scientifically Illiterate"
You obviously have no idea about global competitiveness, either. Perhaps you should pick up an economics textbook.
I don't know if you know this but our aluminium smelters have closed down, steel production has relocated to India, and why the cement industry is (pun intended) crumbling. Why? Because we have a ridiculous carbon tax pressed on companies that, through a renewable energy scheme, adds 20% to the energy bill of companies than if we had a free market.
And whilst you're banging on about global warming, China and India are building a total of
800 coal-fired power stations. You can spout all you want, but business, industry, and manufacturing don't want to hear what you are saying, Jaiket.
"
Chasing the city's cash"
If you were running a political party that was gaining traction but needed funding in the run-up to an election, would you just think: "Ach, I'm going to not do anything at all, not ask for any funding, let the other parties fly aheads with expensive campaigns" or would you actually, perhaps not to everyone's content, ask for funding? Sometimes it's okay to ask, if, in the long run, it's going to pay off.
I would certainly do the same.
