UKIP: behind the times?

Of course many political commentators have dismissed UKIP as a Party which is just too old fashioned for the modern day voter. The world has moved on, they say – but still UKIP harks back to the glory days when women knew their place (in the kitchen), eating out offered a choice between the local chippy or pie ‘n’ mash and disputes with other countries could be settled by sending a gunboat.

Now it seems that the Tower Hamlets branch of UKIP is trying to have the best of both worlds. The Party is standing candidates in the Blackwall and Cubitt Town by-election. They’re getting stuck into their campaign. On Tuesday, 17th  June they were putting leaflets around the ward. The leaflets stated the names of their candidates and urged electors to come out and vote on Thursday, 3rd June. That’s Thursday, 3rd June – a fortnight before the leaflets went out, and a calendar month before all the other voters in the ward go to the polls, which will be on Thursday, 3rd July.

Other by-election candidates are available (see below). If any of you want to know who is going to win, just ask UKIP.
