UKIP can Re-define Politics Just as 3D Printing has Manufacturing!

There is a very pedestrian article in The Economist this week on the UK Independence Party and the challenge it does NOT pose to the existing parties. Absolute tosh which may be read from here.

UKIP, or if that party proves insufficient for the task, another similar, can change politics as suddenly, unexpectedly and permanently as 3D printing with its plastic firearm, looks about to do to manufacturing.

One or two seats, the weekly magazine and the rest of the UK media presently predict for UKIP at the next General Election. What they miss is the fact that the new two party system in Britain is pro-EU versus anti-EU, and at the rate of decline and collapse of the present EU, the anti-side will likely walk it by miles at anytime between now and 2015, unless dissolution of the EU has by then been achieved.

In a first past the post polling election we can see the Labour/Conservative/LibDems lined up against UKIP. Disregarding the EU, with the economic facts and other details of past governing corruption now emerging, how can any of the three main parties really expect any voter, other than their dependents, to ever vote for them again?

UKIP, the next General Election & the Economy

Below I have quoted a series of thoughts I had last evening and this morning and posted on Twitter!

They perhaps read better and can more easily be followed in chronological order as herewith:

Any new party set to contemplate pact or coalition with Lab/Con/Lib, that have destroyed & betrayed GB, will not deserve 2b long considered

The message of recent results is that finally the electorate is waking up to the deliberate destruction of GB Constitution &Democracy

EU collapse now seems Cameron's one chance of staying PM beyond 2015, how will he act when he twigs that fact I wonder?

Lower CorporationTax & a renegotiated relationship with the increasingly crippled drawing new multinationals toUK

In a first past the post system you have to be "Either" or "OR" such is UKIP's challenge. Labour with its record 1997/2010 should not be one

with its attitude to the grotesque an acknowledged fact, must adopt economic policies recognising post 2008 low-growth realities

will be slaughtered next General Election because they refused to face up to the true economic nightmare they faced at the outset

OBR (see link) will likely be a very unfunny national joke, along with its creators Os/Cam/Clegg by next Gen Election  

So has chance to plan for a new international role for UK, thanks to its foresight on & gross economic incompetence of competition

Cameron's spokesman defines limits for EU in Non-EU Treaty use.

While David Cameron received overwhelming support from every corner of the House of Commons, other than the Labour Party front bench, which was completely wrong-footed and stifled by being unable to state whether or no they would have approved the Non-EU Treaty, Cameron's spokesman, Steve Field,was being quoted by media across the globe on what EU Institutions, officials and employees, could or more precisely could NOT legally do to aid a new Non-EU Treaty formation and structure. An example from ABC News is linked here, from which come the following quotes:


But Cameron's government is worried that the new pact would overlap with the existing EU treaty that Britain is part of already. In particular, Cameron's office said it was not clear how EU institutions such as the European Commission, the EU's executive based in Brussels, could be used under two different treaties.

"There are issues that are raised by this, about institutions serving two masters — the euro zone and the European Union — and we need to look at those issues very carefully," Cameron's spokesman Steve Field told reporters.

"If you have the institutions serving the 27 and serving the 17, there is potential for conflict of interest," he said.
Blocking the use of the existing EU institutions — their bureaucracies and their buildings — from use in the new treaty would complicate the new deal's implementation.

Field said discussions over how the deal is set up are likely to continue for many weeks. "What is very clear from the European Union treaty is that the institutions should not do anything that cuts across in any way the single market," he said.

The latter point was much emphasised in Cameron's response to questions in the Commons, where the absence of Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, leader of the Liberal Democrats and Cameron's coalition partner could provide even more omonous news for the EU.

A break-up of the UK Coalition Government and general election at this point, will on the evidence of weekend polling and today's debate, ensure a majority in any general election for a firm and strong anti-EU parliamentary majority in the UK House of Commons.

Is the EU's biggest member subject to EU law?

A fascinating question is posed in this post's title. Read this report from Reuters linked here. Consider these quotes:

The European Commission announced late on Friday that Competition Commissioner Neelie Kroes had written to Guttenberg voicing doubts about Germany's offer to provide 4.5 billion euros in financial aid for Opel as part of the deal with Magna.

In the letter, Kroes said there were "significant indications" that Germany had made the aid for Opel contingent on Magna being chosen as the winning bidder -- a stance that would run counter to EU competition rules.

Speaking to reporters in Berlin on Saturday morning, Guttenberg said the deal was "on track" and voiced confidence that Germany could resolve the questions raised by Kroes.

Asked whether her concerns could doom the sale to Magna, he replied: "No, I don't believe that."-----------

It linked its offer of 4.5 billion euros in aid for Opel to a Magna takeover, with Chancellor Angela Merkel promising back in August to intervene personally, if necessary, to ensure Magna won the bid battle. How can Mr Guttenberg make such a statement, given all the media reports as the GM/Opel matter developed to the exact effect that Magna had to be the winner? How can the supposedly fearless Neelie Kroes, the EU Competition Commissioner, only refer to "significant indications"? I guess we can at least be grateful that the former EU Commissioner in that post was dispatched by the EU to prop up Gordon Brown to ensure the Lisbon Treaty went through, in light of this development and the startling implications that it appears some avoidance of the law is already being contemplated, should not now the Queen demand the return from Rome of the dishonestly ratified document to be put to the people in the promised referendum concurrently with an immediate General Election?

Daily Telegraph calls for General Election

There is no reason for this parliament to go beyond the summer recess. So says the Daily Telegraph which has been revealing the disgusting and disgraceful situation that has prevailed in our Parliament, read the entire viewpoint from here. The article concludes:

One overwhelming message has come from this correspondence: the people want to be heard. They want a general election. On this week's BBC Question Time, which was brought forward by an hour and a half and expanded to accommodate the scale of this story, Ben Bradshaw, a minister, said the issue of allowances would be sorted out by the mechanisms put in place by Parliament in recent days: in other words, by the very people who have abused the existing system. Mr Bradshaw betrayed precisely the right amount of nonchalance guaranteed to rile an already angry group of people – one member of the audience attacked his "arrogant" answer, demanding that MPs stand before their electors in order that they be held to account. And that is precisely the point. MPs are supposed to be at Westminster as our representatives, and to constrain the executive. They should not be careerist politicians engaged in make-work activity.

Now into its fifth year, this parliament is failing to fulfil that primary function and has clearly run its course. The Government itself has lost authority and will be in an even weaker position after the European and local elections on June 4, in which Labour faces a defeat on a scale rarely inflicted upon a party in office.

Gordon Brown has dismissed calls for a general election because it would "cause chaos" in the midst of a severe economic crisis, though this did not stop America or India going to the polls. The truth is that chaos will only ensue if popular anger is not appeased. Time must be given for parties to select new candidates, where necessary, and for outstanding legislation to be enacted. But there is no reason for this parliament to go beyond the summer recess. A general election within a few months is now a necessity, not for party-political reasons but for the sake of good governance and to reassert the essential nature of our representative democracy: that MPs are our servants, and not the other way around.
