“I
look forward to the day when the Westminster parliament is just a council
chamber in Europe”
Kenneth Clarke 1996
TOMORROW
ARE THE local elections and I am hoping that Ukip sends a shiver down the
spines of all of the main party’s MPs. One
of whom made his presence felt on Sunday, a senior, but failed Tory politician
hurled insults at an opponent. In doing so he had no reasoned argument to offer
him.
But
not only did Ken Clarke (and earlier David Cameron) hurl their abuse, but
argued that those they infer are ‘clowns’ and ‘racist’ should return to the
Tory fold on Thursday – presumably to a party of the genuine article.
Tomorrow gives an opportunity to
upset the social democratic consensus that is represented by the three main
parties. Every person who calls his or herself a Tory should vote Ukip.
Everyone like myself, who had been a
life-long Labour supporter - should also vote Ukip.
However well Ukip does tomorrow,
they will take votes from both the Tory and Labour parties, despite the
commentators insistence that their support will come solely from disgruntled
Tories. Ukip lays emphasis on the two most important issues after the economy
that voters are most concerned about -
issues which the three main parties are afraid to tackle in any meaningful way.
First of all immigration. The
politicians know how the indigenous British feel about this issue through their
weekend surgeries, as well as through canvassing during by-elections, local
elections, and general elections. But, as die-hard multiculturalists, all that
has been forthcoming from their mouths is the speech writers rhetoric meant
only to appease and do little else - it
is like garnishing an empty plate.
Secondly, we have the wretched
European Union on our backs, and, like multiculturalism, encouraged by all the
main parties - but using the same garnish. This is why Ukip is being taken
seriously. Because none of the main parties take the British people seriously.
They are fobbed off by rhetoric, and cheated when such rhetoric leads to
nothing. Then cynicism intercedes and parties like Ukip are created to serve a real
purpose.
ELECTION’S
PROVIDE the law abiding with the one opportunity to protest their grievances
against an ill-judged rule by politicians acting against the instincts of the
indigenous population. I use the phrase ‘indigenous population’, because, as
with the Native Americans and the Australian aborigines, the white British are
becoming aboriginal in all but name.
May Ukip be around for a long while,
for they have a service to provide the indigenous British. Ukip are the keepers
of tradition, nationhood, independence and sovereignty – in fact, Toryism.
For the likes of Ken Clarke to still consider himself in such a mould is almost ghoulish. After all,
Ken pinned his colours to the mast 17 years ago when he wrote in the International Currency Review Vol 23 No
4; ‘I look forward to the day when the
Westminster Parliament is just a council chamber in Europe’.
I appeal to my many thousands of
readers[1] to
vote Ukip. The current political class are in social democratic harmony;
although they still struggle to find real grievances with each other in order
to gain power.
At 63, and as a lifelong Labour voter, I voted
in 2010 for what I hoped would be a Tory government (can you believe it at 60?).
I believed Cameron’s salesmanship and believed we would be granted a vote on
the Lisbon Treaty, despite the small print of his promise.
After which I learnt to believe that
the three main parties were, when it came to Europe, all in cahoots with each
other, each feeding their sceptics with whatever rhetorical dross was needed to
keep them on board within all parties; but to a greater extent within the
Conservative Party.
Today
within the parliamentary Conservative party, such sceptics, many of whom still hold
onto the tenancy that is a brilliant mind, but nevertheless sit on the
government backbenches. Ukip will amount to nothing unless they can attract to
their cause those backbench Conservative Eurosceptics. But even if they do not
grab the European hook they are being enticed with; they will not prevent this
nation of ours becoming part of Ken Clarke’s wet dream.
UKIP
MUST teach the social democratic class a lesson. They can only do this if good
Tories and Labour patriots rally to the
cause of, first of all, returning this nation to a two or three party state
whose differences were no longer perfunctory
because it little mattered who, apart from class tradition people voted
for.
There is a real chance for the
people of this country (who are small ‘c’ conservatives by nature) to change
the cosy relationship between the main parties. If Labour voters copied the
many Tory ones and voted Ukip, then the
two issues that matter most to them as much as they do Tory voters – then it could
bring rich rewards. No longer trusting their political rhetoric or promises,
the people would make the main parties change, and once more become three
distinct and different entities.
So I hope that come tomorrow night
and the early hours of Friday morning all the politicians will be running
scared.
