Typical carpet-bagging kipper; doesn't even live in the same county.

No BNP candidate. They polled 3,239 votes (7.0%) in 2010.

They haven't selected a single candidate for the 2015 general election as far as I'm aware.

No offence, but how old is Liz McInnes? Apparently she is 55. |

ww.rochdale.gov.uk/pdf/2014-09-16-SPNNOP.pdf couldnt help but notice who has proposed the UKIP candidate. Warren Mitchell was the candidate for West Heywood In May, He missed out by 23 votes. Farage was in the constituency today touring both Heywood and Middleton town centres. |

Well, when there's a bandwagon rolling I guess its only a matter of time before the usual suspects try to jump aboard.

It is a genuine issue in the constituency and the public seem to hold Labour partially responsible. Are UKIP wrong to discuss it ? What local issue is not jumping on the bandwagon.
I am a UKIP member, just not worked out how to alter my profile yet.

The bandwagon element is not the genuine concerns of local people, it's the attempts by politicians to use them for party political ends. It ends up with exploitation of the victims and nothing really getting done.

Oh you have plenty of bandwagons that end up as nothing but hot air. Both sides (or sometimes only one side) shouts a lot, possibly to the media. A firestorm gets created, demands for various resignations are made, more often than not they occur after a few days/weeks, and then it goes away too quickly as the media lose interest. Keeping up a relatively low-intensity campaign that focuses primarily on the victims, rather than having a competition to see which politician can condemn the atrocities in the strongest possible terms, can yield better results for the victims in the end. For the record yes I do believe there should be more resignations, and I find it staggering that some of these people were genuinely that ignorant of what was going on (if they were telling the whole truth). However these resignations alone will never solve the problems. |

I agree with the above, and would go on to add that this is the kind of mess that would benefit more from people coming together across the political divide to try and make sure it doesn't happen again, rather than trying to score points off each other.
