The so-called liberal left have always been the least tolerant of those who don't share their views.
Maybe they should try and find some UKIP friends, buy them a subscription to the Guardian and try to change their minds.:D Closed minds are never the best minds - if you only hang out with fellow Guardianistas you will never learn how the lower orders live.
There are at least 4.5 million potential UKIP friends for them to try based on the European elections.
Most Labour voters are lovely people - it's just the ones of the superior Camden and Islington mindset that tend to bring things down.
Some would happily vote for a party with a record of destroying both society and the economy as long as they attempt to take the "rich" down with them.
Fortunately I don't have any friends who vote Labour. ;-)
I once had a friend who was a Tory, that was a long time ago though. I was young and naive.
The real reason for your OP is that little sentence about who is the least toxic party in Westminster. Well of course that's not true in Scottish politics is it, as you will find out next May, by which time you will be old and naive.

One of my best drinking buddies is a life long Labour voter and Guardian reader (from Manchester not Islington). We enjoy challenging each others opinions over a few beers as it is boring to just mix with people who you agree with. However, one of the few things we do agree on politically is that Ed Miliband is a waste of space.
Oh dear ! Another pathetically feeble anti UKIP thread from the Labour party faithful. Expect more of the same from the usual suspects in the run up to the General Election.
I've fallen out with friends for repeatedly posting Britain First links on facebook, despite knowing they are a far right racist organisation. Once or twice is a mistake and I have no problem with it. I don't think I know anyone who is UKIP, so I can't fall out with them. I did live with a Conservative voting girl for 3 years though, so I'm not that prejudiced.
Is it coz I is right.
Don't tell me, your not prejudiced as some of your best friends are Tory's.
The so-called liberal left have always been the least tolerant of those who don't share their views.
Say the tolerant guy who's so tolerant he can't tolerate members of the general public not liking the views of the party he supports so he has to put them in a box, stick a label on them and call them intolerant.

The only people I won't put up with are racists and bigots (and people who mix up your and you're:p). Tories are fine and I honestly don't think I know any UKIP supporters.

I seem to have a problem with there, their and they're as well. My left wing, ILEA, comprehensive, socialist, education has a lot to answer for.
If only Michael Gove had been in charge when I was at school.
I suspect you would if that party had a direct negative effect in the past on you/your friends/family and were going to do so again in the future.
I can very much see why some folk wouldn't care, but one also has to understand why others would.
Certain sections of society at the sharp end (often the poorest) have had a real horrific deal under certain parties.
Thats daft - everyone is negatively affected in some way by every Government - if you ditched all your friends who supported those governments you would have a very lonely life.

What? Do you not know that Corpach is crawling with Kipsters and they meet every Friday in the Railway Club? Nah seriously I don't know anybody who would even contemplate voting UKIP. Good for a laugh but nobody takes them seriously. Slightly different when I am in England. There are a few gin sodden old buffers in Windsor who love UKIP but they also talk about horse whipping shoplifters and banning daytime TV!

Are you saying there are people on this forum who don't do that?

Perhaps you need to expand your social circles beyond the sneering brigade. Your post just oozes smugness and a sense of your apparent superiority.
Off to an Upper Street wine bar for champers with Emily Thornberry are we tomorrow night?:D

You sem to get that a lot on this forum, people who seem to have absolutely no contact at all with people whose views are different - its as though some actively seek out only acquintances who agree with them.

What are you on about now? The old guys I described are EXACTLY like that but if you cannot accept that there are people like that who support UKIP then that is not my problem and is no reason to accuse me of smugness or superiority. Is having a thin skin and paranoia compulsory for Kipsters now?
Comments
Nor me. I don't even ask them. Not interested.
Mind, I read some crap on here once, where somebody said they would ditch their partner if they found they read the Daily Mail. Weird or what ?
I don't believe the 1 in 4 stats for one second. Sounds like made up rubbish.
Unless they live in Clacton or Rochester, of course :kitty:
Or that other place up North where they came a close 2nd behind Labour.

Which explains a lot.

I don't know any UKIP either.
Personally I would cast a very questioning eye over anyone who voted Tory.
I seem to have a problem with there, their and they're as well. My left wing, ILEA, comprehensive, socialist, education has a lot to answer for.
If only Michael Gove had been in charge when I was at school.
Exactly, Aneechik and so this is a bit of a non story to say the least.
^^^ This +1.
I'd be tempted to add money to that list too.
