In the UK electoral system people vote for a local candidate not necessarily a particular party. UKIP has few candidates that a majority of the constituents want to vote for.

[QUOTE=mikelincs;11635464]Labour are currently 3 points in the lead according to opinion polls..[/QUOT
Not in the quality press which shows a 4 point swing to the Conservatives.

Please for once can you post something that makes sense.
Apart from the facts thst you have cut and run from the UK and that you do not
have a vote and as such your comments have as much value as those
of the dog next door.
Living as you do on the otherside of the world oas you do it may escaped your notice that the UK is now one of the best performing economies.
Anyone who wants to vote for a party that puts this at risk should remind themselves that at all times " It is the economy that
matters " stupid " .
WHen are you coming back to the UK to exercise your right to a UK vote.
I vote for the party thst is best for UK plc and all those of us who live on our island and need stabilty , low inflation and the prospect ov paying our mortgages every month.

Decrying immigration when you're an immigrant yourself is mind-blowing hypocrisy, but why on earth should you be allowed to vote and influence the control and direction of a country that you don't contribute towards, except by throwing stones.
Pay some taxes and then you're entitled to a voice.

This is measured by the interest levels a country has to pay.
The UK is regarded as a good bet.
As for your comments ref shallow, without a decent economy nothing,I repeat nothing works.
No money fir education, health, defence etc etc etc etc.
Its the economy Stupid !,,
You are welcome back with your one vote for UKIP any time you chose.
As for expat voting rights, I do not see an issue if you remain tax resident.
No representation without taxation to requote the American revolutionaries.

I do agree about the returning UK citizens however, never thought I would agree with you on this thread on anything.
