So, it’s election week… Are you excited? Do you know who you’re going to vote for yet? Do you think this election will make a difference?

My answers are as follows – 1) The election is thrilling, perhaps the most thrilling in my lifetime. 2) I’m not physically able to vote physically this time around. Had I been, I would vote for UKIP or LibertyGB (the latter if they are standing, the former if not). 3) Absolutely.

Nobody, not even the most seasoned political commentator, dares to predict who will be running the country this time next week. Despite the avalanche of newsprint, debate, advertising and scandal, the vote remains stubbornly too close to call.

As far as I can see, the UK faces one of 4 possible destinies. Let’s briefly look at each one:

1. Labour Victory.

This would be a disaster; a further half-decade of socialist rule would corrode social and race relations to (or beyond) breaking point. Immigration would remain at the current level, and possibly even get worse. Fear of Islam will apparently be legislated against, eroding our right to resist it. The tentacles of the government will squeeze through more legal gaps, blocking out light and lurching deeper into our intimate affairs. Taxes will rise. Green superstition will rule the laboratories. The army will grow ever more ornamental.

2. Conservative Victory.

Better than a Labour victory, but still a postponement of real solutions to the issues facing this country. More austerity, more economic growth, further cuts to the military and police. A jumble of good and bad.

3. Ukip Victory.

Potentially revolutionary, yet also highly unlikely, a UKIP government would transform UK society in many positive ways. Immigration would finally be addressed with the seriousness it requires. The army would be brought back from the dead. Hate preachers would be shown to the nearest airport (though – crucially – their congregation would remain).

4. Coalition.

This seems by far the most likely situation, and also the most chaotic. A UKIP-Tory coalition would never last beyond a few months. An SNP-Labour coalition would never be accepted by the English public. A Libdem-Tory coalition might work but only with awkwardness. A Lib-Labour coalition would be stable but hugely unpopular.

5. Conclusion.

I think this election will be the last ‘mainstream’ contest for quite some time. By that I mean it will be the last in which the traditional parties dominate the polls. In that sense, it is just a rehearsal for 2020.

I strongly believe conservative radicalism will continue to grow whatever the result is on Thursday. This may clear away the obstacles for a truly restorative party to achieve a parliamentary majority in the third decade of this millennium.

Reflections on the Revolution in Europe.

Last Thursday, elections were held in Britain to elect a fresh body of MPs for the European Parliament. The United Kingdom Independence Party was always the favourite to ‘win’, and that prediction has now been decisively justified.

Despite this foreknowledge, the media has since reacted with a purple-faced hysteria. Reading the papers this morning, one would think that Nigel Farage has been announced Prime Minister, Archbishop and direct inheritor to the crown. Metaphors like ‘earthquake’, ‘shock’ and ‘hurricane’ are being hurriedly worn out, as are adjectives like ‘unprecedented’, ‘historic’ and ‘revolutionary’. In the Mail and Telegraph, rustic conservatives are pictured jubilantly flushing down pints of real ale, whilst liberals and leftists are portrayed with creased brows and watery eyes.

In France meanwhile, Marine Le Pen has dramatically triumphed in the popular vote and in doing so may have fatally wounded traditional Gallic conservatism. In Denmark and Germany, far-right parties have also seen their fortunes rise, if only by one seat in the latter case. Bucking this rightward trend, Geert Wilders’ PVV Party returned a smaller vote than at the last election, despite earlier opinion polls suggesting an increase. Elsewhere, Greece has thrown its support behind the radical Leftist grouping Syriza.

My feelings about all this haven’t had the time to mature, but I’ll offer them anyway.

The descent of Geert Wilders is obviously disappointing, as is the victory of radical socialists in Greece. Madame Le Pen’s victory meanwhile provides cause for both hope and fear; Hope that the French people are collectively waking up to the state of their civilisation, and fear that Anti-Semitic boot boys merely have an attractive disguise and are privately bent on dividing the continent as fatally as their German predecessors.

In regards to UKIP, my feelings grow even more nuanced. I love listening to Nigel Farage speak and concur with a lot of what he says, especially about the decadent and unresponsive elite of Westminster. Nevertheless, I can’t help but feel his party has been elected on an imagined manifesto.

If one votes for UKIP believing – as many do – that they will ‘sort out’ the Islamisation of Britain, one will likely be disappointed. UKIP in truth has no coherent policy on religion, cultural protection or race, save for a flaccid, over-qualified commitment to an ‘immigration freeze’. Anyone who voices Islamophobic opinion within UKIP furthermore, is routinely expelled without hesitation.

In addition, the Muslim inflow to Britain is not usually the fault of the European Union, and would not necessarily be affected by Britain’s withdrawal from it. True, we would have fewer Poles, Ukrainians and Romanians, but as miniature Pakistans swell within London, Birmingham and Manchester, that seems rather beside the point.

I don’t want to be completely negative about all this. There are reasons for celebration today. Across the continent of Europe, many vital signs are beginning to return, and the comatose patient is beginning to blink and shuffle, perhaps signifying that it is ready to awaken.

UKIP is one such blink. The party has value, but only as a path-breaker for others who will tread the prepared ground with greater daring.
