A Personal View from The Director of the Libertarian Alliance
Issue Number 169 - 10th March 2008
A Day with UKIP
by Sean Gabb
I drove down to Exeter last Saturday the 8th March 2008, to speak at a United Kingdom Independence Party rally. If I had bothered checking in advance that the round journey would be 600 miles, I might have declined the invitation. I am glad, though, that I did not check, and that I did accept.
Imagine, if you can, a party rally, put on by one of its regional branches, and attended by several hundred decent, ordinary people.
Imagine, then, being able to watch a dozen or so people called to the podium to speak fluently and with passion about what they truly think.
Imagine also being able to mingle throughout with the leaders and elected representatives of that party. Imagine all this, and you have UKIP.
I watched parts of the Liberal Democrat conference on television yesterday. As with all the Regime Parties, these people talk about the need for commitment and fundamental change, and then carefully avoid saying or promising anything that might resemble either commitment or change. What I saw on Saturday with my own eyes was politics as it always used to be in England.
I last voted Conservative in 1997. Since then, I have voted UKIP whenever possible. So far, I have done this as a means of punishing the Conservatives for being so dreadful. I will now vote UKIP because I like
the party and because I admire its leaders.
I will not summarise my speech, as I made a video record of it, and of the one made by Marc-Henri Glendening of the Democracy Movement. There was some coordination between us, and so our speeches are worth watching one after the other. I am never happy with filming in a room where public address equipment is in use, but the sound quality is adequate. Our speeches are available courtesy of Google Video.
