My worry about the "kick up the arse" theory is that we'll see the mainstream parties take on more "extreme" POVs and policies to placate potential UKIP voters, and then we'll see an elected government basically become UKIP anyway.

Yes, exactly.
The best way to turn politicians into a racists is to demonstrate that you'll vote for racists.

I honestly don't get the UKIP protest vote.
Was it Stewart Lee or Charlie Brooker that said something like "it's like protesting about the bed you're sleeping in by doing a massive shit in it and then realising you've now got to sleep with a massive shit."
Protest vote for nicer people you twats.

My mate's dad's Jewish and he voted for the BNP in protest.
People aren't protest voting UKIP though, they find one thing they like that they say and they're happy. Even if it contradicts something else they said, the people that vote for them aren't checking obviously. They don't even have a manifesto, no-one knows what they really stand for.
I'd be quite interested to know why people vote for them actually

Why not find one policy the greens have you agree with? Or the Monster Raving Looney party (or whatever their equivalent is).

Ofcourse it's still protest voting.
They are protesting that anything could be as relevant as their hatred, that they struggle with constantly.

but im totally with you in that europeans should understand the principle, where a rightwing party share a lot of middleground on a lot of policies but only ever has one agenda that really matters to them..
it's just like the ss initially

I have Russian Jewish ancestry (on my mothers side - full English on my fathers), and UKIP have my full support - I am most certainly not racist, nor am I xenophobic.
UKIP have my full support for various reasons.
But what really gets me is this; You (anyone opposing UKIP) claim UKIP to be a racist party simply for having views that don't fit with your own left wing agenda. Any party or organisation that holds right wing views are shouted down as if their views are inferior to those held by the left.
What I'd like to know is, who exactly appointed you (lefties) moral and spiritual guardians? Who declared that your views are anymore valid or important than mine? Simply because I hold right wing beliefs and views, it doesn't give you (lefties) the authority to call me racist, xenophobic or bigoted - and trust me, I am neither of them - if you saw my circle of friends you would know this.
I've read through some of these comments (too many to read them all) and I can't actually find anyone that's posted any factual evidence to show UKIP as a racist party.....
What is it about UKIP that you all (lefties) so vehemently oppose..... What exactly gives you the right to brazenly brandish UKIP and it's supporters racists? I'm interested to know what leads you to make such bold statements.
Recent polls show that support for UKIP is almost outweighing that of any other party, to me this shows that soon the left wing view will be the minority view in the UK. A vote for UKIP certainly is not a protest vote - they said this at the European elections (which they won by the way) - they still continue to do extremely well in the polls and by-elections, yet you (lefties) still bleat on about a UKIP vote being a protest vote - stop kidding yourselves.
And Hubb - making a comparison between the SS and UKIP makes you look nothing more than a moron.
