The party now has 24 Members of the European Parliament following the 2014 elections, which made them the biggest joke contingent from Britain attending that august body. This success has been put down to the BBC supporting the party in the belief everyone needs a rest from real politics and that UKIP ('Kippers') are light entertainment for the masses.

  • The party now has 24 Members of the European Parliament following the 2014 elections, which made them the biggest joke contingent from Britain attending that august body. This success has been put down to the BBC supporting the party in the belief everyone needs a rest from real politics and that UKIP ('Kippers') are light entertainment for the masses. UKIP is officially a broad-spectrum coalition open to anyone staunchly opposed to European integration and expansionism, except with regard to expenses. Unofficially, you must be barkingly right-wing, have had at least five green-ink letters published in the Daily Telegraph and be middle-aged, and, for the most part, don't actually know what the European Union is. It's also preferable that you be a failed businessman or minor celebrity although this isn't essential. A cheap plastic bowler hat with a union flag on it is also an advantage, as is a belief that God wouldn't have given you two hands if he didn't mean you to grasp as much as you possibly can with them. They're basically the BNP for passive-agressive people, making it a perfect fit for Daily Mail readers.
