UKip vote – was it all about Europe?

As Catholics we are not part of a national church but a Church that transcends all boundaries, therefore the European Union debate does not always excite us quite so much as the average Brit. Perhaps only when there are laws coming from Brussels that seem to go against Traditional Christian principles on Life issues or Family values do we sit up and take note.
UKip on the other hand have based their success on being anti-European Union but is this all there is to it? Granted there has always been a large minority who are anti-European Union in this country, we are an Island race and would like to remain so but this does not account for UKip suddenly becoming the largest party from Britain in the European parliament, after all both Ukip and Britain’s membership of the EU have been in existence for a long time.
I believe there are pointers to the fact that UKip have picked up votes from the other parties because Ukip are perceived to support traditional moral values - the ground that used to be occupied by the Conservatives – until they became pro-‘Gay’ marriage and forced through this new law with the help of the Liberal Democrats (and Labour). The Conservatives are now 3rd, below Labour in MEPs - see For Gay Weddings but a Tory Funeral post last year. We predicted this would happen, for although the media fools most of the people most of the time they do not fool all the people all of the time to borrow from Abraham Lincoln. Quite simply the Conservatives have alienated a large minority of their voters who have gone over to UKip.
The Liberal Democrats have been all but been decimated, flying the LGTB flag over Whitehall earlier this year when the first same-sex marriage took place may have pleased their friends at the BBC but just occasionally people sit up and say ‘hang on this is not right’. People saw the Lib Dems as a centre party, politically and economically, however they have finally been exposed as the socially and morally left wing extremists they are and have always been. It was after all David Steel (later to be liberal leader) who brought in the motion to legalise abortion in 1967 strongly supported by the BBC at the time who produced a multi-level media platform in support of abortion. The BBC turned all its mediated weapons on the unborn using TV and Radio, news current affairs, interviews and drama to support the pro-abortion legislation. It’s just so good to see them get their comeuppance.
It’s not only in the Britain that this protest vote has happened France has seen a major swing against their government who brought in same sex marriage laws despite the millions of Catholics who protested in the streets of France against this un-natural law. Ireland too has seen their coalition decimated with voters turning against their government who despite the protests of the Irish people brought in abortion to one of the few places in Europe where Children were safe in the womb. God will not be mocked forever, these parties will fall if they do not amend their ways.
