UKIP Surge

Have been speaking to a few UKIP defectors, and I think I now understand their surge in the polls.

They don't feel as if any of the main parties are thinking about the English man.

It seems as though the three main parties are so worried about their ethnic vote that being English is still a taboo subject, that if you're white and born here, you're apologising for our ancestors.

Every single UKIP defector I spoke to are not racist, they don't even want to leave the EU (UKIP's main argument), some of them don't even like Nigel Farage, they just feel as if there is a party that wants to represent them.

One person mentioned Owen Jones' article in The Independent, he pointed out that Owen had it right, but he doesn't feel as if the current Labour leadership are bothered about the English.

If the three main parties want to gain some votes back, maybe they should start talking to the English again. You can be Scottish and proud, Welsh and proud, Irish and proud, but god forbid should you be English and proud, you're only British.
