"Ukip has said it will only allow speed cameras at accident blackspots, near schools and in residential areas where there are specific potential dangers."

I hope UKIP are also going to war on speed bumps!

Do you think their views would be so extreme if all they were trying to do was just get power?

Your intention is clear and your vote cannot be mistaken as an error. As I mentioned in another thread, if all apathetic non voters (over a third of the registered voters in 2010 GE) could be bothered to get off their **** on voting day, then this would send a message to the political establishment. Voting is the only direct action you can take to influence how this country could be run and shouldn't be wasted.

This is how you register a protest vote

Sorry but IMO you are wasting people's time by telling them to spoil their ballot and I am entitled to that opinion and entitled to voice it. It concerns the election which this thread is about so I think you are confusing my disagreeing with you with being off topic and baiting so how about you give it a rest for once
How about you practice what you preach!

It's ukip for me mainly as they seem to be the only party that will go some way to reducing spending. We, like many other western countries are living in cloud cuckoo land when it comes to living standards and spending. Nobody likes services to be cut, but unless we face up to reality and makes cuts in a controlled manner now we'll end up having to slash spending at some point in the future when debts are so high that the UK starts struggling to refinance debt and the rate we pay to borrow increases sharply. This will cause serious pain and really hurt the economy as well as a large part of the population.
Getting out the Eu removes another very expensive layer of government that we simply don't need. We would still do trade with the Eu, just not be governed by them.
The UK sells itself on past glories to an extent, but if we ourselves go bankrupt then it'll be very hard to ever build ourselves back to a prominent position on the global stage.
I don't have anything against people who vote for liberal parties, and I would go as far to say they are probably nicer people than those who vote for more right wing parties but at the end of the day the economy is what gives us our living standards and you've got to be ruthless in business to succeed, not go out to be friends with everyone. Looking at the uk's position in the global economy, we've got to strengthen it not continue to sink under a debt mountain.

I agree that all the parties make empty promises, but the underlying policies of the other parties is not isolationist, barely concealed racism and xenophobia.

You never voice this prior to your "la la land" question, but like I said, fine, I never said you weren't entitled too voice your opinion. I've not baited you at all, someone asked how to spoil/protest vote, I replied. Typically you on the other hand reply to me with a dumb question which has no purpose with the election other than to bait me into slanging match with you again and you're telling me to give it a rest! How about you practice what you preach!
How about you practice what you preach! 
Oh and for the record I am not trying to bait you, frankly I wish you'd just disappear so the last thing I want to do is encourage engagement with you, but when you write what I consider to be utter garbage (which sadly seems to be nearly every post you make) I am going to point it out. HTH

Is there any other opinion poll other than yougov as I've been posting like crazy on there for a few days and find it mainly frequented by lefties.
So far:
Ranker.com = UKIP
Scoobynet = UKIP
yougov = Labour

It was the same argument as was presented on the other thread you bored the crap out of us all on. I didn't realise you had such a short memory and needed everything reiterating on each separate thread you decide to preach your nonsense on. Noted for the future

You must surely realise that it will never work like that? If we leave the EU then we lose all input that we have in to how the Eurozone is ran and that will ultimately make trading with Europe very difficult/expensive.
