Should there ever be a time when someone who enjoys writing puts pen to paper or fingers to keyboard and enter the world of politics? The obvious answer is no, of course not, politics is a little like religion, it's a kind of taboo that should only be mentioned in passing and only then very sparingly.
The problem is your blog author is anything but conventional and staying quiet is not one of my stronger points. I have been watching the rise and rise of UKIP in recent days and wondered I am sure much less than the rest of Westminster if this is a flash in the proverbial pan or a sign of things to come?.
If I was a gambling man the odds would be fifty fifty. Now, just compare that with less than twelve months ago and those odds would be one hundred to one against in Westminster's favour, that in itself says more about just how disillusioned the general public really have become with the irreverent spin from the three main parties.
So, if we fast forward another twelve months are we going to see Farage pushing for PM? Well anything is possible in the current climate and I think the balance of natural selection from the suburbs of Oxford and Cambridge, so often the prolific breeding ground for Westminster proteges is truly on the wain, the country has had enough of the "upper class twits" to coin a well known phrase and indeed wonderfully funny sketch from my beloved Monty Python. The truth is despite David Cameron or any of the other strange looking gentlemen currently holding court in parliament protesting in front of any cameraman that will stand and listen, the fact is they don't actually "get it", they never will "get it" and indeed the only thing the majority of the country are hoping they do get is a good boot up the backside out of office.
If you have just realised after reading this that that is actually the reason you voted UKIP then you are half way to understanding just why they have become so popular and why they are a clear and present danger to the mainstream parties who just cannot adapt to a changing society and believe their way is how its always been done....I believe a few Tyrannosaurus Rex and their pals had the same belief a few million years ago
.
If I am being honest, Nigel Farage is as creepy as that Ed Miliband fellow, to this day I cannot understand how a virtual unknown became Labour party leader over his sibling who was a well known spin doctor but eminently more photogenic and camera savvy. I am sure David is so very happy he took the decision he did to get the hell out of town, pity they cant all do the same.
So, for now we wait and see what happens, though Europe choosing one of the biggest federalists in modern history as it's new candidate for leader is a little like letting a fox out to round the chickens up, then complaining you have no eggs. I honestly believe if there were a middle ground non invasive pro Great Britain party with common sense moderate views we would actually see off the dumb-dumbs from the South East. OK not in my lifetime maybe, but I hope so for the sake of the next generation.
