What amazes me though is how a party which is the third in number of votes only manages to get 1 seat whereas the SNP with only 40% of those votes manages to get 56 seats.

The left recently got wiped out in France as the left tactically voted for the right. This will have to happen in the UK if UKIP keep gaining ground.

But getting back to Trump, a lot of politicians and media are up in arms about the stuff he says calling him a liar, a bigot, racist, ... but what they don't seem to realise is that he says the stuff that a lot of people in middle america are thinking but are afraid to say out loud for fear of reprisals.
When Trump said that certain areas in London are no-go areas for police everybody was quick to call him a liar and say it wasn't true.
Those people who denounce him seem to have miraculously "forgotten" how police were advised in November last year by the police federation not to travel to work in uniform in certain areas because of risk of attacks.
Or how the chief of constabulary raised the issue that certain areas in the midlands are no go areas for police because the communities police themselves and don't want police around.
Or the incidents in London with the "Muslim patrol" where 3 guys were jailed because they carried out assaults on people because they were enforcing sharia law in the area.
And lets not forget the horrendous abuse in Rochdale of more than 1,400 children where the police were too worried to investigate in case they would upset the local muslim community.
I would love to see one of the Youtube "stars" to make a video of them walking around areas of east london, manchester, birmingham or bradford in a police uniform and post the reactions they get.

I don't here Trump talking about the type of Mexicans or Muslims, he labels them all as a race.
And yes the UK is far too scared of being labelled racists. That is changing, just not fast enough.
What I'm trying to impress on some here is that whatever he or anyone else promises in this race. Has two hurdles to get over. Thier financial backers and all the other politicians.
