'Know Your Enemy' - Sun
Tzu - 'The Art of War'.
Some dismiss Ukip with backhanded flattery in
- 'Job done, why are they needed any longer?' - an insidious
soundbite.
Ukip's real job is to rid this nation of the
LibLabCon, Greens and all assorted extremist politicians.
These opinionated people are the true
extremists but that viewpoint seems to have somehow been largely mislaid in the
mists of time.
For several generations, the liberal elite has won
most battles in the UK and yet, they do not represent society as a whole. They
are merely a successful pressure group consisting of a shared, quasi-marxist,
distorted philosophy of how society must develop.
Their thought processes are generally illogical and
based heavily on non sequiturs. When exposed, inevitably it results in
egregious abuse of those who point out the shortcomings of their flawed
contentions.
Our electorate has allowed them to set the agenda and
we are forced to tread carefully lest we fall into one of their politically
correct traps.
We need to learn to be more guileful than them. They
endeavour to ensnare unwary Ukip supporters into making careless statements
and regularly win disproportionate amounts of adverse publicity for the party by
manipulating an already biased media.
Their views have been cunningly purveyed over many
decades. (My considered suspicions are that the roots of this
thinking originated in the early years of the allegedly moderate Fabian
Society.)
They dominate higher education and have done so for
over a century. In my forty year teaching career, they eased themselves into the
mainstream school system with the 60s new left generation becoming firmly
ensconced throughout the profession.
Research published as I joined the teaching
profession, way back in 1975, showed that more than 70% of teachers were right
of centre.
I dread to think what those results would be
today!
This negative influence on future generations looks
set to solidify. The only positive is where we can see how many young people
adopt a more common sense approach to life as they approach their 30s.
For the less intelligent and the dwellers of cloud
cuckoo land - especially many of those who go on to work in the public sector -
these damaging early years can set opinions for life.
At the same time, common sense solutions to the
running of our society have been largely abandoned and the true political centre
has, at the same time, disappeared.
The leftwing media hold sway and Leonard Schapiro's
maxim: "The true object of propaganda is neither
to convince nor persuade, but rather to produce a uniform pattern of public
utterance in which the first trace of unorthodox thought reveals itself as a
jarring dissonance," has never been more
apposite.
The metropolitan elite, from their leafy
London suburbs, possess the very soul of all the traditional parties. Note how
out of kilter the common sense of a Frank Field or of a Dan Hannan sounds -
and reflect on Schapiro.
These politicians and their fellow
travellers are the enemy!
Ukip must learn to tread softly with voters
at the same time as putting this generation of ne'er do wells under the
hammer.
Countering The
Enemy.
1) Expose the lies, the half truths and
those areas of their thought which have become embedded into the consciousness
of the population. In both newspaper letters columns and radio phone-ins,
challenge the non sequiturs both quietly and authoritatively with
matters you have researched - anticipating the hostile questions which will
challenge you. NEVER proffer knee-jerk responses nor sound as if you are
ranting.
One unthinking member can lose the party a
multitude of votes.
Consider, as one example, the impossibility
of being an integrated society and a multi-cultural one at the same
time.
So many will never have given this an ounce
of thought. The more rational and logical you sound - the more we as a
party impress.
2) Ukip must stop taking any stance on moral
issues. Whether it be foxhunting or banning the burka, our position must always
be to let the people decide. As many votes are lost on these issues as are
gained.
3) We must be wholly 'the party of
democracy'. 'Populist' is a positive word if used intelligently. Support
Swiss-style referenda.
4) Ukip must take a very strong stance
indeed on any issue where the liberal left will be the only real voice against
us:
Being genuinely tough on criminals;
expulsion of all illegals; punishing all tax evaders whether rich or poor;
sacking unnecessary bureaucrats in public services;
improving the NHS;
employing more at the sharp
end etc, etc.
5) We must ooze common sense, simple
fairness and basic kindness.
6) Please, do challenge political
correctness, - but also recognise that if you do so crassly, votes are often
lost and seldom won. This applies as much to elected members as to grass-roots
supporters.
Many Tories are potential Ukip voters but
only fringe Lib Dems will consider giving us
support.
The right has nobody else they can vote
for.
Labour is our gargantuan, untapped
resource.
I have lived amongst Labour voters all my
life and know what makes the majority tick. I believe that a large proportion of
this group are actually right-of-centre in their thought processes but they
cannot abide Toryism, privilege and all that it
entails.
Ukip's pitch simply needs to be a sensible,
non-Tory centre right.
If we cannot win with that, there is nothing
else with which we can win.
