'Protest Party.'

On a fair number of occasions of late, I have heard Ukip referred to as 'the party of protest' both by interviewers and LibLabCon politicians.
Do they really think that this is a valid criticism? Moreover, does Ukip mind?
With every 'protest vote' comes a consolidating of the base of a party which is growing at the rate of 350 new members per week.
What is also happening is a concentration of 'the protest vote' itself.
Many ordinary people in the past who have voted from Green Party to Monster Raving Loony, not from conviction but out of desperation, and all minor parties in between will vote Ukip. There is no such thing as 'a toxic vote'.

Add these to the LibLabCon defectors and the base is further strengthened but remember this - it is the 'non voters' who are flocking to Ukip who truly hold the key.
