Re: UKIP win a seat.
Way I'm reading what you say is...
You wont vote for UKIP because its led by Farage who you dislike but if UKIP put someone up who you did like you would vote for him? You'd rather see Jones in again, no matter how disappointed you are with him rather than voting tactically to get him out.
You are NEVER going to find a politician who meets ALL of your criteria. Personally I'm a labconcommugreenlib in my political belief and I suspect that the majority of the population fall into a similar category..Our current electoral system with its first past the post mentality has not been relevant to its electorate since the advent of the information age..and the problem is that nothing will change as long as people stay at home or spoil their votes.
The libdems screwed the country 4 years ago..they could have forced real change to the system but they bottled for a bit of power...cant see Farage doing that for all his faults. UKIP is messing with the 'safe seat' premise and the two big parties are running scared....they will be looking to get the spoilers and non voters back into the fold with nonsense about one trick ponies, scaremongering about racism and fascism, and banging on about manifestos whilst ignoring their own
