Yes just do that.
I know that UKIP will do well at the County Elections but where would they be without Mr Farage if he left(1) Took a safe seat with the blues at the next Gen/Election, was taken ill and had to pack it up, or he just said "I am not carrying on" who would take over from him(1}Who we all know,(2) Who could talk like he does and makes your hair stand on end" Who are you voting for the party or the man? Who do you know by name behind him and what they stand for,? Do all the party members get on well with him? If you are voting for the Man that good, just look at other candidates who are not in any party and are doing it because they live and bring up their familys in the county and would like to see it doing better than it is now and that is why the lone independents are doing it. SO again just stop and think before you put that "X" IN A BOX.Please do not vote for a party vote for the person.
If I was still a party man AND THIS WAS THE GENERAL ELECTION and voting who should run the UK then I would vote UKIP and still be in the party,but we are not doing that this time round we are looking at who will run the county for the next four years and who would be better then what we have now.
(1) If you say the blues are doing a great job then vote for them,but before you do just look around you at all the rubbish on our high ways holes in the roads etc and the lack of the police in the towns and the parishs, I for one think that they are doing a very bad job,could the reds do better? ,well they did not do it last time they where running the show.You do not need a party just folk that care about the county and towns they live in. SO again just think before you put that very big"X" ON VOTING DAY.

The Coalition offered and promised Localism, but it remained a dead word.
Instead the Cabinet decided to inflict a regime of central Tyranny over the counties and districts, called Austerity.
I for one won't vote!

Stop to think then vote UKIP?
I can't help but find this a paradox.

Stop and think that party-aligned candidates at local elections will inevitably align their local policies to central party policies.
But don't stop there, think further, and calculate how this will affect the future in your area.
If you vote Tory or LibDem, inevitably you are voting for Austerity until the year 2026, this being the declared intention of the Cabinet. This Austerity will Ice-Age (verb: to Ice-Age over) all counties and districts along with it.
Labour: doesn't need reminding of.

After reading the nations press about what is being said about UKIP, just maybe you would like to read my one post again about UKIP ,it does not have the back up of the big partys,infact their HQ in Cornwall has only avery small amount of staff which only work part-time,they need to move their HQ into London where they did have a office, build up their backroom staff with full time officers,and then build up their local offices with good staff I did point this out many times when in the party.But still time to turn this round by the Gen-Election but not for the county one this week.As we see in the press.

Vic, UKIP have a HQ in London funded by the EU [ironic don't you think].
I understand they share part of the premises with the Greens.
It is in Smith Sq. It is the EU HQ in the UK.
The bigger irony is that the building is the former Conservative Central Office.
Not many people know that.

No I did not know,but they did move their HQ to Cornwall sometime ago and I was told that they closed their London office,but glad to see that they are still in London. I am not in the party anymore so what they do at this time I do not know about.Thank you for your post.

UKIP headquarters are in Devon.
I'm not a member of the party either.
Losing one's independence from mortal parties was too great a price to pay, so I chose Independence!

" The Tories denounce Ukip as closet racists, and my experience at byelections and local elections and of meeting many of their grassroots supporters bears this out. Most Ukip members and supporters are nothing but opportunists, seeking a populist platform for their extremist views. As the official party of protest, we Official Monster Raving Loonies strongly object to use of the terms "fruitcakes" and "loonies" when describing Ukip (Tories in disarray over response to Ukip 'clowns', 29 April). We who seek the holy grail of Loonyism strongly object to the cavalier use of these terms. In our long-held view, all politicians from all the unofficial loony parties are far too loony even for us Official Loonies, so on Thursday, both in South Shields and in the county council elections, don't vote Conservative, Labour, Liberal, Ukip or for any other pretenders, vote for the real Official Raving Loony party of the UK. As our late founder Screaming Lord Sutch said: "Vote for insanity ... you know it makes sense."
Lord Toby Jug
Leader, The Official Monster Raving Loony party, Eastern Region"

Just watch the turnout and decide from there which proportion of the people place their trust in the government being offered us!
