The three old Westminster parties have had their chance. They have collectively presided over a system of politics that has been exposed as being corrupt, outdated and not there to serve the people, but to serve the gentlemen’s club. The politicians now talk of reform and change, but the election of Speaker Bercow is a joke, yet another creation of petty party politics. Moreover, it is telling that while MPs are now condeamning the very system that they created, they speak nothing of the corrupt system across the water in Brussels. They want reform limited to their own self-preservation. They are insincere and the public have finally had enough.

Joe Bloggs is no longer happy just to sit at home, stewing in his own disgust. A Harris poll has shown that UKIP is on 10% in General Election polling, a historic level which is higher than the party has ever polled before in the Westminster election. Yet amazingly Harris Interactive, the company which did the polling, didn’t even get UKIP’s name right, mistakingly calling the party “the UK Independent Party”. I suspect they soon, just like the Westminster politicians, will be a lot more aware of Nigel Farage’s party.
