Farage always strikes me as a smarmy little **** whose main interest is the sound of his own voice. Of course his anti-EU stance hasn't stopped him claiming all the funding he can get from the EU.
And if Griffin is out of the country, we shouldn't let him back in

I'm not really looking forwards to the general election -

Labour are tired and a spent force, in addition to being pretty ethically bankrupt (the majority of people left are career politicians rather than people who believe in a cause).

The Tories are headed up by Blair Lite and have been bankrolled by Lord Ashcroft for his own ends (a completely corrupt individual who seems to have a strong grip on the Tories and surrounded with allegations of undermining democracy in various of countries). They seem to happily switch policy (the little they have made public anyway) at the drop of a hat and just have a general air of self-servingness about them.

Lib Dems just aren't electable and know it - I like the general principles of the party but they're not far off announcing free flying cars for everyone as a key policy because they know they will never get elected so their bluff will never be called.
