UKIP still has a place and a vital role. 66% of the votes UKIP lost went to the Tories, if they fail on Brexit that vote will come straight back to UKIP. We will see exactly what Brexit has been delivered by the next election. Gerard Batten has been an excellent leader and the poor showing at these locals has not been down to him. I hope he continues as leader and takes UKIP into the next general election.
I didn't have a UKIP candidate in my area ! = very annoying !
Yes because after Brexit we can just have another Brexit. It’s simple.
At least Farage has come back with the Brexit party
ill be voting UKIP in next election
So many people including myself have lent my vote to the Tories as we need to push Brexit over the line! There was no UKIP candidate anyway so not voting may have given an open door to Labour or the LIB Dems and giving them impetus in trying to derail Brexit. Post Brexit, UKIP will be on the rise again as the party of the working people while supporting business and wanting a strong economy. Thanks to all UKIP supporters and Gerrard for taking the helm and steering us in the right direction.
UKIP did very badly but the mocking BBC make you sick. Their rotten mocking turned Batten into a hero during this interview even though the result was awful.
Proud to say I stood for UKIP this year. What a man Mr Batten is.
Batten and Aker (don't see much of him these days) are my favourite Ukippers.
Gracious in defeat, the best choice of leader we have at the moment.
No way would I have voted for UKIP until I discovered Gerard. As long as he is in charge, he has my vote.
Exactly....'UKIP should have got straight onto the job 2 weeks after the EU Ref'...dropped the ball there, but Gerard Batten has picked it up, and I believe will take UKIP forward. Please stay as permanent Leader!!!
I would have voted UKIP in the local council elections yesterday but they were not on my ballot paper so i left it blank - i will be voting for them in the next General Election - the ONLY hope for this country.
John Clegg same here
UKIP wasn't on my polling card, if they were they'd have got my vote
same
Beautiful Chlorophyll I couldn't even vote in south Somerset, I was searching for my polling station and even called the council. I too hope Gerard stays to complete his tasks as leader
sounds like fraud.
Paul Burgess I think the main problem is that you've got labour who are far left and tories who are pretty much centre left when you look at their policies, UKIP are not too far off what the Conservative party used to be. I love the Brussels Broadcasting Channel's little advocates all licking their lips and gloating in the UKIP loss of seats though trying to convince everyone they're a fad that's passed. How unbiased.
funman619 they just didn't have many candidates, my area was strong leave though so I'm surprised they didn't have one here
Keep the faith folks. UKIP are coming!
We didn't have a UKIP candidate, I wish we would have had.
It’s very refreshing to have a politician answering questions in a straightforward and forthright manner. I wonder if it will catch on?
Techno Tyke i detect sarcasm sir, which is by far the greatest form of wit, and you nailed it! lol
UKIP will be back it's only a matter of time
lol
Good leader, needs to stay in and build a broader policy platform
Josh Jackson best man for the job. I like Gerard, looks like he takes no shit.
I'm voting ukip
I wanted to vote UKIP this time BUT there was no UKIP person to vote for. So I never voted at all
AlphaWoIF Me too I refused to vote because it was just the useless LibLabCon on the ballot paper.
AlphaWoIF same here
Same here ! no UKIP on the form !
Join your local branch and run yourself, give people a coice
Gerard Batten is a good leader.
Would of voted for ukip if it was in my area...
Josh Brown and me
And me ! 1000's would have voted UKIP. The only people destroying UKIP is the BBC & the Media SCUM ! UKIP is Fine now, & they will grow to be in power by next Election.
Gerard Batten is a good leader . He talks a lot of sense , is 100% patriotic and knows Exactly what this country needs. We need UKIP more than ever if you want to get back your sovereignty and make you own laws again, controls your borders and reduce this mass invasion that has not been addressed for years, and so long as conservative or Labour are in government it never will .
I don't know much about Gérard, but from what I'm seeing from he has the potential to really stabilise and evolve UKIP. Very interesting and I think the majority of the public with much sense see the pros but also the CONS with both labour and the conservatives, at the very least under both parties current leadership. Whule I like some of what corbyn says, ultimately too much worries me with him when it comes to being strong when necessary, some of his contradictory seeming claims and actions from his party especially concerning the majority of their social stances,particularly racism and onckusivity which they only seem to apply as suits them, not how either of those things work. Under the supposedly Conservative parties government, we have seen astronomical increases in weakening the police, the army, small and more independent businesses, an Orwellian like attempt to police free speech, thought and the manipulation of media as well a terrifying and thoughtless push for immigration that's led to a chaotic state of affairs and allowed many countries to simply offload the undeaeriables types onto another country to lessen the evil they are causing their. Let's hope Gérard is as he seems, becasue the UK desperately need someone who like either extreme we'd see under corbyn or our current prime minister whojustvkinda swooped in on the position like perhaps, a greedy vulture might a fresh carcass.
Speaks what he actually thinks. Let's hope the public warm to that as it's clearly a rare quality
jonjo220 If the BBC have their way the public won't be seeing anything of Batten - unless it's him apologizing for the tweets of some obscure UKIP candidate, or being grilled over a poor election result. Apart from that BBC will do everything they can to keep him off screen.
Top straight talking guy. Onwards and upwards.
They still have my vote
For the first time in my life I am seriously considering joining a political party. Gerard Batten seems like a genuine guy with his head screwed on.
UKIP are the only real hope for our futures. I'll be voting UKIP all the way. Gerard Batten - you've done a spectacular job in the short time you've had x
UKIPs vote share is holding up and we know from when UKIP won the EU elections, that people are happy to vote for them. They just need to field more candidates and realise that old labour will come to them if they can tailor their policies to match. ie. If UKIP pushed for re-nationalising vital infrastructure companies, water, electric, gas etc... then that alone would bring many of those Labour Brexiteers over to their cause. UKIP needs to get the balance between attracting Tory and Labour voters. In the past they've pushed old fashioned tory policies, that won't be enough to push on.
The problem is getting Gerard well known, it takes time. Don't give up Gerard, keep going.
They keep going on about voters backing the tories from UKIP, but in 2015, the labour vote was hit harder than Tory. Keep going Gerard.
I voted ukip in the passed but changed to conservative to stop labour ( I am a miners son and i dont want labour in government) so conservatives have had my vote for years not anymore. Going back to UKIP.
At the last election the group that I was talking to, (a pretty good cross section,) were clamoring to vote for UKIP because we were being screwed over by both parties & a third would have been grabbed with both hands, but everyone was disappointed to find that there was no ukip on the voting cards ! You really do need to pull out all the stops to get back up there, ask for volunteers, the people will help you if you ask them to, we need a third option. Nigel Farage leaving like he did was unforgivable & totally selfish, but it doesn't have to mark the end of Ukip, we need an alternative to the lose lose pair that are up there now !
What the bbc have forgot to tell everyone is that many parts of the UK were not voting in the local elections this year
All the partys who voted "stay in" have got the majority not suspicious at all.
Bent elections i recon !
These local election results show that the public do not see UKIP as a viable option anymore, at least for councils, and I have to say I agree. It was pretty much a one man party anyway, and since Nigel's departure and Henry Bolton's incompetence they've lost nearly all credibility. There's less than a year to go until we officially leave the EU and we've already had a general election, so I think UKIP should be concentrating on making sure the government does it properly.
Well done for handling the critics. UKIP are just warming up. I will try to donate. They don't get funding like the three mainstream parities do. Need to advertise more, get volunteers and more money. Donate.
Mr BATTEN: Please, please, please put the interests of the British electorate before those of UKIP. The entire electorate desperately needs a strong 'BREXIT' (and other issues!) alternative to our present Westminster Class; and that alternative is no longer able to be from UKIP. We need a Party which is utterly devoted to the British people; and is without any taint of corruption. That cannot be provided by UKIP, alone. We need a Party which will address the gross failures in our Public Services and the NHS, our Immigration Policy, our Policing, our Courts, and our vote to leave the anti-democratic EU. WE NEED 'FOR BRITAIN': but FOR BRITAIN needs the likes of you, Mr Batten.
Mark Dyer for Britain piss off you troll😁
si: Wow! The elevated level of discussion from the educated elite!
Swedish anti-islam party SD have grown from 1,4% five years ago to an estimated 20,0% of the national vote this autumn, so 5 % for UKIP today is a very encouraging figure. Courage, brother. Batten is not a show-piece like Nigel but a solid, honest and trustworthy fellow.
Whats the point of UKIP he says. What a clown. Its called democracy. UKIP still speak for millions of people.
Gerard Batten looks to be the leader UKIP and the country needs.
Gerard is doing a fantastic job in the circumstances. He`s spot-on with his prediction of a surge for UKIP when this backsliding becomes more apparent to the electorate.
I hate the BBC so much, I don't know how you can stumach to watch it?
weve got to really build and bang the message home enthusiastically with a solid manifesto upto the General Election. If Thesea May doesnt give us what we voted for in the referendum the conservatives will be doomed. We can cause a massive upset in the General Election.
I don't care .I still be voting ukip
I like the way this man talks, he brokes no distraction, answers directly and seems to have a stable personality. That said UKIP live or die by if the tidies end up putting a lie to their few promises or not. Brexit should be king issue right now not joint strikes against he Middle East.
UKIP for me from now on up in Scotland truthful politician Mr Batten MBGA
Gerard has always been a real nigga his speeches in the European parliament are epic
Gerard Batten has done well. UKIP did better at the locals than most expected and are a clear threat to all three big, if that's the right word, parties. If the Tories deliver a good Brexit it may slow UKIP down but that's a very big IF.
Yes, they averaged 9% where they stood in my city - not a disaster. They'll be back when the Tories sell-out on Brexit.
After the vote to leave, UKIP had the momentum to further develop and fully establish itself as a serious force to be reckoned with. Like the Icelandic Independence party which remained a relevant power after independence from Denmark in 1944 and today are the party in Government. Farage should have remained leader longer to stabilize the party and give the leadership to Steven Woolfe. Remember, after our vote to leave UKIP won several council by elections. I think Farage's departure was too early. Steven could have started where Nigel left off. With Woolfe as leader, UKIP would have had the time to organize and prepare for future elections, instead the party bickered and fought amongst itself. With Woolfe gone, Paul Nuttal could have been a great leader but he never had the opportunity to establish himself as a leader with immediate local elections, by elections, lefty accusations and a general election. Then we got Bolton, almost the final nail in the coffin for UKIP.
Huw Edwards, the lead interviewer here, gets paid £600,000 per year. That's the generosity of the British public paying their television licence fee. Fancy having to pay a tax to be allowed to watch television. What other countries have that? And we pay it for them to peddle their biased political "analysis".
I don't pay mine and haven't done for over ten years now, not going to start paying for this BBC crap.
I would vote ukip just nobody stood so couldn't vote for them. Sure they will go from strength to strength under Gerard
UKIP are doing MAY a favour at the moment----moment don't last forever, the quiet before the storm
I like Gerard.
The subtitle to Douglas Murray's book, The Strange Death of Europe is 'Immigration, Identity, Islam'. The three I's the two main parties won't go near but the issues a growing number of Brits see as the most important. Keep beating that drum, Mr Batten. You're voters will come back. But of course, you're right, without the fourth I, independence, the first three I's are out of our control.
Keep up the good work Gerard UKIP will get there.
I've always voted ukip. Didn't receive my voting card this time. Couldn't vote in the last elections either because ukip wasn't an option to vote for
On top of all their other problems they have to actively fight against the damn BBC.
UKIP have my vote, i will never vote labour till the day i draw breath and never vote tory because they are labour with a different colour rosette. They have both sold out and let our country down.
I didn't vote because there wasn't a ukip member for my local constituency 😩
I really like this man , when the conparty fuck up Brexit people will turn to Ukip give it 2 years and see this bbc presenter eat his words
My thoughts exactly. The Tories will sell-out and Leave voters will quickly stop voting Tory and go back to UKIP, angry at the lies and deceit.
I would vote UKIP if we had a local representative. There are people that would come together with UKIP, trying to find out where UKIP supporters are meeting up just isn't getting out there in my area. However, I've got me UKIP tee-shirt and I will be wearing it this summer.
Batten is great with the media
Cav L very very good
UKIP MEP Tim Aker and 11 others retained their council seats but as independents.
Monarchist 18 Yes - I believe they thought (rightly) that the Bolton fiasco was so toxic to UKIP that they'd be better running as independents. They were right. UKIP can recover but it's going to take maybe 3 or 4 years for the public to forget about Bolton and to stop mentally associating the party with that sleazy gurning goblin.
Yes, they remain UKIP members and hopefully represent UKIP once again as things improve.
Im voting Ukip in the main election.
How much damage has _For_ Britain -First- done to UKIP? And would the two parties be contesting the same seats in a general election?
For Britain, Britain first have no chance of even becoming a party now as both leaders are in prison.
I think there is room for both parties if they don't compete with each other directly. UKIP are Right-wing, FB are Centrist, so it would make sense if For Britain were to target mainly working-class industrial and mining areas and UKIP the South and East. Personally, I don't trust UKIP; they are too internally divided. I would consider voting for them if I was impressed by the local candidate but for me FB look a lot more promising.
You really do need PR. a 7.5% vote would see you in government in NZ
Lots of us want a PR voting system but the two main parties won't let it happen as it means they can't 'win' again.
Nice chap... will do well...
I will vote UKIP. The scum in the main parties is too much to stomach.
I like Gerrard but this is going to be tough.
Huw the fuck does Edwards think he is? Makes Jo Coburn looks almost impartial.
Top bloke!
Good man.
Welsh toe rag
5-7% ??? Really !!
Batten sure knows how to bat. He expects, seems to want ! them to be winging and wanging over the net as aggressively as can be. Always his return is the gentle touch, that soft tap over the net . I suppose nothing is more infuriating to them And while they steam he delivers more facts......
It was going well till he used the word patriotic.
Ewe and JoJo on the point of being rude to Mr Batton. some respect for the individual please BBC load of Holliocks .
Good luck...you'll need it.
Can the BBC predict how the population think about their billy bullshit corporation? I think not so let's ask that question.
Batten needs to show some leadership or UKIP is finished. Since he became leader 2 months ago I've heard very little from him, & this is worryingly like what happened to Nuttall - an increasing silence and lack of command. Being exclusively about the eu post referendum (which it increasingly appears is his only idea) & intermittently muttering about Mohammedanism does not constitute a domestic political party. He had 2 months to try to save these last UKIP councillors (it was obvious what was going to happen to them if he didn't) by seizing the media narrative with dynamic radical statements, & he did nothing, & they've all been wiped out. The key ground for UKIP to attack the Liblabcon upon is foreign immigration, but it's increasingly clear that Batten doesn't support that position, & is now advocating an immigration policy almost identical to the Tories - which is for mass foreign migration to essentially continue. I supported Batten becoming leader as far back as Nuttall's candidacy for the job (for want of any other viable candidates), but this isn't shaping up too well now. UKIP may need another captain, this fella increasingly appears like a cricket nightwatchman, just waiting for his MEP's pension salary to kick in so he can toddle off into retirement, taking UKIP with him.
kcirdrab Not really fair to blame Batten for a lack of airplay. The establishment media gatekeepers keep UKIP off the air unless they've got some story to grill them with. They're never going to give him a platform to lay out his case in a positive light the way the Tories and Labour are allowed to do.
You make your own media platform as Farage did, & as Hamilton did recently with his defence of Enoch Powell against the brickbats from the MSM & Liblabcon. Batten's had 20 years of proximity - well paid proximity as an MEP - to them to learn this stuff. He's not doing it, & his social media platforms are virtually empty too - who's stopping him using that? You're making excuses for him.
so Ur like the Black Death in the Middle Ages....and Ur gonna come back...God save us
Yeah it going great for UKIP. 😂
C'mon UKIP Gerard Batten is no doubt a nice chap but for goodness sake...find someone with charisma if not all the answers. You had an open goal but you fluffed it...yet again! Just serve the sizzle and forget about the steak.
Well it can't get any worse hahaha
