The BBC Learning Zone website poses this age-old question: Why did the people of Germany support the Nazis? And this is what they boil it down to: Feelings that democracy had failed them and that no one except the Nazis would protect them from the Communists. A lack of work led many working class people to support the Nazis and they gave them hope - especially through promises to restore Germany to greatness. Change communists to immigrants, Germany to England and Nazis to UKIP and the political earthquake thats just happened in Clacton is partially explained. he and his self-styled Peoples Army have cleverly positioned themselves in the same electoral gap that the na.zis did in Depression Germany. Offering hope to frustrated people who feel exploited by forces outside their control and sick of the perceived apathy towards their plight from the detached establishment. So, as in 1930s Germany, they vote for the anti-establishment party with a charism |

They warn them Westminster and Brussels are the enemies. Youre the outsider, were the party of the outsider, so were your only choice. Come with us and stick two fingers up to the people who arent making your life better. They prey on confused, disillusioned minds in the hope theyll be given the benefit of the doubt by people with nothing to lose. Two specific moans among UKIP voters in Clacton were that their resort has been reduced to a ghost town because Brits now take holidays abroad, and what jobs are left are taken by people coming in from abroad. So where do you go with that contradictory grudge? UKIP of course. The Scapegoat Party. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/farage-manifesto-lies-how-ukip-4417649 |

If they were as bad as h*tler the other parties would vote no confidence if he started rounding up people and shooting them surely? I'm really not political but doubt things would get that bad |

I don't think he's a potential Hitler, but there's definite similarities to their campaigning methods.

Well there are similarities there. I don't know to what extent of power they would have if they won the election. They could change pretty much anything, couldn't they?

You know they use old tactics to gain power, probably just wants to really win and scaremongers are making a big thing of it Politics all about tactics, someone phones a newspaper then people panic and get less optimistic about a party Very strategic |

I think the real scaremongering is from the anti ukip brigade, as shown in this topic

More Clacton bashing, just because they made a democratic choice he doesn't agree with, and then tries to fight back against them by comparing UKIP to the Nazis. And then puts a Daily Mirror link up.. got a Guardian link to go with that? Would've been perfect. |
