Britain's version of Tea Party rocks political system across the pond

[Hoosier4Liberty]

Britain is welcome to have our TeaParty if they want them

And North Korea gets the libs.

Don't forget Venezuela, Zimbabwe, North Korea, and all the other nations at the bottom of economic freedom(see sig).

Bump.

Britain's version of Tea Party rocks political system across the pond | Fox News

The often stale British political system is being rocked by its very own Tea Party.

The UK Independence Party (UKIP), formed in 1993 opposing Britain’s entry into the European Union, failed to make an electoral dent for a long time. However UKIP has built up steam in recent years and is spearheading a seismic shift in the British political spectrum.

In this year’s local elections – the British version of midterms -- UKIP took a stunning 23 percent of the vote, up from the 3.1 percent they won in the 2010 national election. Their leader, Nigel Farage, is buoyed by their recent success.

“We want to take back our country, we want to take back our government, and we want to take back our birthright,” Farage told FoxNews.com in forthright language rarely seen in British politics.​

Local Election results are always something of a red herring. They are used as an opportunity to register a protest vote, but generate results that are never replicated at general elections. There's no doubt that UKIP has increased in popularity, but 23% at a general election? I doubt it.

Irrespective of the main stated aims of UKIP, and how reasonable some of them may sound to people, there are just too many strange side opinions within UKIP for many people not to wonder whether a vote for UKIP isn't actually a vote for the batshit crazy.

Interesting piece on the disparity between the favorable ratings UKIP enjoys at present and the likelihood of success at a General Election. There's no doubt UKIP is getting stronger (extremes are always amplified by recession) but it still has a long way to go IMO.
