    Jolly Joker or Rogue Racist?

    Love him or hate him, Nigel Farage seems to be the only party leader who doesn't blend in with the usual establishment grey brigade.
    If you were voting today, would you be tempted?

    He looks like a real life spitting image character. And talks like one too.

    No, too right wing for me. But some of what he says makes sense. You could say that about most politicians though...except Fidelma Healy Eames.

    I would vote for Nigel Farage, but not for UKIP because most of their representatives are incompetent goofballs.

    A classic example of someone educated beyond his intelligence.

    The one time I have agreed with him was when he was putting a Feminazi in her place for "daring" to say that your value as a Broker is diminished if you spend too much time away from the workplace e.g through long holiday or pregnancy and even then he laboured to put his point across.

    Absolutely not. Populist contrarian nonsense, with a healthy dose of racism thrown in.

    I would share a certain degree of his euro skepticism and having an Australian style points system from immigrants doesn't sound like a terrible idea but that's about it.

    Not a chance, can't stand that "Little Englander" and "Johnny Foreigner" attitude.

    They are divisive and have mad policies.

    Look what happened to LPF in The Netherlands when they got power

    I don't know much about each candidates policies but if it was a personality contest Nick Clegg would be the clear winner in my eyes. Ed Miliband the clear loser.

    No. Seems like a grand fellow though, just don't like some of what he says.

    Firstly, to state the obvious: you wouldn't be voting for Farage unless you were voting in South Thanet (incl. Ramsgate). You could vote for a UKIP candidate elsewhere, if one is standing. But the most UKIP can hope for, from this election, is to increase their representation in Parliament.

    Farage isn't a MP yet, he's hoping that will change by tomorrow, and his choice of seat is not a coincidence: Ramsgate is a major ferry port where many illegal immigrants enter the UK. To win the seat, however, he'll have to beat all the major party candiates as well as comedian Al Murray (Freedom UK Party (FUKP)) and Zebadiah Abu-Obadiah of the Al-Zebabist Nation of Ooog. :o

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    It surprises me how many people don't realise this, or they are being purposefully stupid. Even after going into vote and seeing the various names on the ballot paper, they will come out and tomorrow will be complaining that "I didn't vote for Cameron/ Milliband/ Sturgeon/ Clegg" and how dare the PM be decided without my vote counting.

    I'd vote for Dick Venes (Green Party).
    Something quite sinister about Farage, though he has tapped into what is a very live issue for the blood bred English.

    Y'know that 'one way trip to Mars' project? Well, if he applied for that, and it came down to the last 50, and the final choice of one man and one woman was put out to a public vote?

    Yes. Absolutely. I'd vote for the horrible little polyp. Katie Hopkins would get my No.2.

    Here is a good reason to vote Labour then:
