The suggestion by Farage has been that ukip is different to expense-fiddling MPs, when facts actually indicate that far from being different, they are some of the worst offenders.

The 'defence' such that it isn't, appears to be this is ok, as long as they claim to be anti-EU, then pretty much anything goes and is acceptable

That's the 'brave not-so-new world' is it? lol

Doesn't seem to be the electorates choice as far as the kippers are concerned, since they failed to win but a single MP last election, despite several Tory defections, even poor Nigel has stood for the uk parliament some 7 times, but failed at every attempt.Still, better luck next time eh ?

But it's a power/sovereignty thing right?
I wouldn't disagree with a view previously stated on here, paraphrasing, namely if some voted on 'immigration' issues, or more precisely movement of labour within the EU, they may get something out of it all, though probably far less than they expect, and at some cost
If it's about some notion of sovereignty/power/democracy then it's largely misplaced, but a fantasy some clearly cherish
