Mark my words - he will resonate with under 35 year olds, and like said above will 'steal' from both partys, not just the left.  How many who have commented about him own there own home?  How many own more than one home?

 

 

 

The thing I find a bit odd, is why make it harder by trying to get the 5%, as it is rare that a new party can do this. I am not sure if a new party has done it before. The conservatives were quite close. It is reasonably easy to get the party in on an electorate vote with the right person and electorate. I see having an electorate seat is still quite important, as it can show the party has a stronger leader. But I guess going for the 5% shows that they aren't relying on the support of any other party to get in, and they don't want to compromise policies. I think he is very likely to have got across the 5%, if it wasn't for the whole cat thing, even it  was miscommunicated in the media.  But we will see how it goes. He has a better chance at this election than the last few, because the current parties are near the end of their life, and people see parties that have been in power for too long as arrogant and losing touch with people. It happened in 2008. I think he will steal from Labour more than National, because some of his taxation policies affect the older richer with houses and land, more than the poor and young who don't have that.
