Too many referendums.

UK referendums:

Scotland, 2014
AV, 2011
Welsh devolution, 2011
Belfast Agreement (Northern Ireland), 1998

...and more in 1997, 1979, 1975 and 1973. Not that regular, especially in our lifetimes :P I'm not in favour of an EU referendum myself - firmly in favour of staying inside the EU.

If we get a European Referendum, it'll be stupid. There's no need for it, but UKIP and Labour will be for it, Lib Dems not so much. The SNP?!?! Who knows.

The SNP is in favour of the UK staying in, and if we have a referendum they want all four parts of the UK to agree to leaving, if we have to.

So technically shouldn't that have been the case for the rest of the UK, when Scotland had its independence vote?

It's funny how the Tories are using policies that UKIP were using, it's like UKIP are in power. The Alternative Vote would be much better, even if it meant that UKIP would of been closer to power (against the odds). I think if the Alternative Vote was put forward again, more would be in favour of it.

Indeed, more would go for it next time. Weird to see UKIP get so many votes but only one seat.

You do realise that UKIP was formed as a break-away party, from the conservatives, as the conservatives viewed them as "too extreme" towards the working class... and the conservatives hate the working class.

I thought they were a rival party to the BNP; I barely pay attention to politics, it's too much to handle at times.

You are both wrong. UKIP was founded in 1993 by members of the old Anti-Federalist League. It attracted a few members of the Conservatives but it wasn't a break-away party. The reason they moved from the Tories was in relation to Europe and nothing to do with the working class or the Tories supposed hatred of the working class.

It's hard to define them as a "rival party" of the BNP. Surely all political parties are rivals? UKIP bans former BNP members from joining and although it attracts former BNP voters, UKIP likes to claim they're poles apart from each other. Personally, UKIP seems like BNP-lite, but all political parties are rivals so an 'interesting' view there I think.

UKIP are tory-extreme and BNP-lite apparently.

Well, UKIP would be in between the Conservatives and the BNP on the political spectrum!
