UKIP has
officially opened it's campaign office on Lord Street, Southport
THE cry for change rang out loud on Lord Street, in
Southport, when on Saturday, 7 February 2015,
UKIP'S
officially opened its campaign offices on Lord Street. The political
party has nationally come under extremely close scrutiny over the last 2 years,
as it grows in popularity. For many who are unsure of the main stream parties,
UKIP is offering them a chance for change, as also does the likes of the Green
Party. Unlike the Greens however, what UKIP is really about is not quite so
apparent and it has received very mixed reporting in all areas of the media.
Nationally, the Liberal Democrats, Labour and the Conservatives, seem to be
increasingly focusing on fighting with each other, and mocking UKIP, so has this
party got a chance to get in nationally, and what would happen if they do? We
did a quick sample of 25 people this week. All randomly asked and from different
backgrounds, just to see if they would be voting and also what party they are
most likely to back. This was no way a scientific or proper survey, but
interestingly, our Editor counted 10 people who intimated that that they were
heading towards, but were moving away from traditional parties as they felt let
down. 5 said they would be happy with anyone in, but UKIP. The rest, shockingly,
were undecided, so much so as to say they might not even bother voting. This is
a really small sample though, to us, it does suggest that this year's general
elections might not be as straight forward as they have been in other years. One
thing for certain, is that UKIP's new office, in its location next to one of the
remaining Post Offices in Southport, is making people talk. Also it is
encouraging its members to interact with the public, something many of the other
parties have yet to start doing properly locally, as far as we can see.
We would be interested to hear your views on UKIP and also on the
other parties, and on elections in general, so please do email us them to:-
news24@southportreporter.com. The video below (can also be played in
a separate window), shows the opening of the office and also introduces all the
UKIP Candidates, for the local elections in May 2015, and their Parliamentary
Candidate. It also has an interesting section, explaining a bit more of what
UKIP is about, via local election candidate, John Lion-Taylor, who stresses
that:- "One of our main, local, objectives for Southport, is to regain
Southport's Independence from Sefton." Over the next few weeks we, at
Southport Reporter, will be contacting other parties standing on Merseyside and
also we invite them to contact us to give their views.
