yes, until all parties man the f**k up and address the immigration/EU issue

the mainstream parties either need to present the arguments in favour of immigration (and after that the same for the EU), and convince people that the UKIP stance is wrong, or they need to tackle such root cause problems with immigration that exist, in order to alleviate a significant concern that a significant portion of the UK populace feels exists.

As long as politicians and pundits continue to just throw words at UKIP voters, without actually manning up and tackling the underlying issues, UKIP will have a voice that is listend to.

A guy here is a labour candidate in a marginal Tory seat and all of his polling suggests that UKIP will take more votes from him than it will from the sitting Tory MP, so it's fair to say that he's not a happy bunny with his party's leadership on this.

As far as UKIP's popular support goes, it is a single issue party. Deal with that issue, and you deal with UKIP.
