it all depends on whether 5, 6, or 7 candidates are standing.
What is interesting is where UKIP cannot exploit local grievances over mass imigration,such as in their static protests in Lincoln,Boston,Spalding and the one they cancelled one in wisbech due to opposition from "We Are Wisbech"; they become the party of opposition to Big Bureaucracy and Big Business, especially with regards to planning. For example in North Norfolk at their breakthrough last council elections they campaigned extensively against the publicly unpopular proposed King Lynn Incinerator project,
which they managed to scupper albeit with a multi million golden handshake for the Incinerator Project owners.
Heres a summery of their last Constituency Report Autumn 2014, delivered to ex-council now housing association estate amongst other places on their ward.
Funding Awarded For North Norfolk Coastline Protection
In this section UKIP take the credit for securing £250,000 from central government for storm protection.
New Management Structure
Proposed reducing number of County Council chief officers from 10 to 5
Primary education for Holt
proposal to build new primary school
The Northern Distributor Road
Opposition to building new bypass around north Norwich,due to impact on green belt, this sectio also pays tribute to efforts to restrict wind farm development.
Constiuency work
List of meetings attended by M.Baker
mention of minor road plans including new roundabout for Roughton
vague mention of addressing the issue of Local affordable housing when estate planning applications are presented, no specifics given
final piece
general roundup of ukip success at ballot, plea for support at General election ,contact details and membership packages.
as you can see not a mention of Immigration the EU

Their obsessive hatred of wind farms puzzles the fuck out of me, lots of the more parochial Tories share it as well.
Why is anti-wind such a right wing cause?

Why is anti-wind such a right wing cause?
NIMBYism, as FNG said, plus the rich hate (real) environmental change of any sort as it will involve changes to their lifestyle they do not want e.g. less travel by big expensive car and plane, smaller homes, less use of all sorts of fuel.
Why is anti-wind such a right wing cause?
The possibility of the presence of a wind farm on the hill induces fear of the value of their property not rising as fast as it might have done.
House prices, silly.

i expect anyone spending time with right-wingers after one of their extravagant feasts would be anti-wind too.Why is anti-wind such a right wing cause?

PP odds here. Hollobone was at Dulwich college with Farage.Damn. I have to send a message to IT support complaining that I damn well should be able to look up the bookies' odds from here, if not place a bet. They're blocking them

Anyone who understand odds better than me want to estimate the bookies' take on Gove being right - zero defections?

Hardly getting over it.
Funnily enough the UKIP flyer fails to mention that salient point.

I suspect a certain sort of UKIP'er (there are many in my predominantly working-class area) simply hates anything that smacks of middle-class do-gooding on general principles.
Why is anti-wind such a right wing cause?
Perhaps it's because they think it's so dependent upon subsidies, and, more importantly, kills the birds they want to shoot themselves?

That's not a ukip only attitude.

The YouGov survey was conducted after Mr Miliband dismissed a frontbencher for a “disrespectful” tweet of a house draped in England flags with a white van parked outside. Asked which party was most in touch with the views of white working-class people, 21 per cent chose Labour and 27 per cent Ukip. The margin was even greater among white working-class people themselves, at 20 per cent and 29 per cent respectively.

The 'white british working class' are just a subset of the wider working class. Is it just me that feels like the media/political pundits act like they're the the sole representative of the working class? Marginalisation exists across all groups, is there evidence that the WWC is more or less cut off from opportunity and attention? I know some minor anecdotal stuff through friends working in care provision, but what's the wider picture?

You can't park here sir
Not really a subset more the majority and ham fisted attempts to help minoritys often come across as either patronising or out and out discrimnatory.
Tories have always hated us
Labours fucked off to islington with a polish nanny and some hardworking hungarian builders
Lib dems lied and got into bed with the torys so fuck em.
The lefts either fucking usless or obssesed with palestine
That leaves the boot boys of the bnp and edl who can sometimes find their way out of a wet paperbag.
So that leaves ukip.
Who dont appear to be pod people.

I've only scanned it, these are first impressions:
After not referring much to policy for some time, I anticipate the borg will fall behind this document in lock-step.
Doublespeak on green energy. Big let off on tax for the rich in inheritance, which is the opposite of meritocratic. Mostly looks sensible-ish sounding centre right populist stuff, which need not have any relation to reality. A fair few dog whistles for racists as well. Not that they are racist of course, that needs underlining.
Not racist at all. Did I make that clear?
No mention of TTIP. I suspect the recent conversion to anti PFI in the NHS is just to catch out / show up Labour.
ETA: Wondering if I haven't seen this doc before actually, maybe it's not as hot of the press as I thunk, but anyhow...
