AT the recent general election our two UKIP candidates did not do too well, polling less than 2,000 votes between them. Such is the price of total honesty.
The three main parties, by contrast, each took several thousand, but are now subject to leadership battles, policy reviews and much more. In other words, people and ideas the electorate did not vote for.
Which do you prefer? Those who tell things how they are, or those who say one thing and, once returned to Westminster, immediately do another? As usual.
