ukip are certainly under represented in parliament, and by the time the next general election comes along , they will be ukip mp,s crashing through the westminster doors in droves.

many people have had enough of the two tier system in this country, which basically changes absolutely nothing, they just cancel each other out every 4 or 5 years.
Nothing of what you've said here demands UKIP. It does demand voting reform; greater transparency about who is lobbying behind closed door - doubly so considering scientists and charities are/have been threatened; party funding review (across all parties rather than just your main opposition); fewer condescending events like "clean for the Queen" and more events to encourage/make it easier for people from all walks of life to get engaged beyond voting for what they did last time or who employs dead cat strategies.

The feelings behind voting for UKIP aren't necessarily wrong (and are rarely racial) but UKIP don't necessarily offer anything politically for those voting for them.
