How much would someone have to give you to vote UKIP in the 2015 GE?
How about to vote UKIP and then not to be able to lie about who you voted for?
Invoking SSP on this thread BTW

Not THAT much, I live in a Labour stronghold
Like, triple figures? How much are you offering?
I think I would do it for £500
As long as I could say I did it for £500 and that I don't like them and that.
Is that if you had to admit to it as well?
Nah, you can't tell people you did it for money
You don't necessarily have to justify it but you've got to look people in the eye when they ask and say you voted for 'em
Still yes tbh
Yeah as long as I can show people a receipt
Democracy's a sham anyway, I might not vote at all as it is.
no amount of money
and I say that as someone heavily in debt rn
i'm an accelerationist, i'm gonna do it anyway
I'll get an estimate on how much my soul is worth and get back to you.
a yes majority on sep 18.
One thousand eight hundred ish
55k
£200 all in
£200
I'd also take a leftwing eurosceptic line on it when defending my choice, coupled with something about accelerationism: http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/17/leftwing-eurosceptics-eu-british-left
(I am a leftwing eurosceptic anyway, but in the Green camp obvs)

Pretty torn on the EU.
I think a single currency and the free movement of people is actually a good thing within the EU block.
But they hopelessly fucked up on the economics when letting in the old Eastern Bloc countries in a way they didn't with Spain. Probably there was a lot more to it and if they'd kept those countries in a sort of economic isolation then there were worries about fascist governments taking over.
Anyway, the problem with UKIP is they aren't a remotely constructive answer to the EU question. They like to focus on utterly stupid populist notions about Stalinism from the European parliament and the like. So no amount of money would make me vote for them.
^this
There are problems, without question. But UKIP is a joke party - voting them in would generate far worse foreign policy problems, not least because it sends a message that we're a joke country.
No amount of money, then
They've always been against intervention in foreign wars though
I think that would go some way to mitigate the cut in foreign aid they propose.
I don't really get the 'oh no, people will think we're dicks' argument if we pull out of the EU. I don't automatically think Icelanders or Norwegians are dicks, and they didn't even bother giving it a go.
Nono it's not that people will think we're dicks if we leave the EU
It's that people will think we're dicks if UKIP makes any significant gains. Fortunately, it hasn't happened yet.
Well this was a fun debate.
Wait, does that count as banter? Maybe I'm banned for 3 years.
how much you got?
Enough to buy a nice house in Germany.
Twenty quid I rec
Got a paypal if you're interested.
