The Ukip leader accused Labour and the Tories of recruiting “attack campaign” strategists to pump out smears in the run-up to polling day on May 7. And he feared the tone of the campaign would be relentlessly negative with a big emphasis on the use of social media. He said: “The truth is that this will go down as, potentially, the dirtiest general election campaign in British history.
"Both Labour and the Conservatives have drafted in expensive, US-style attack campaign strategists.
“What this means, in practical terms, is that our election campaigns, traditionally marked by playful newspaper headlines and upbeat party political broadcasts, are more likely to become a ‘tear chunks out of one another’ affair.
“It’s a great shame, and I have personally said that I want to have no part of this.” Express.
(Good luck!)
