Farage urges public to "stand up to the political establishment"
UKIP leader Nigel Farage has urged the public to use their vote to "stand up to the political establishment" by voting for UKIP.
Farage launched an attack on both Cameron and Miliband, whom he accuses of making empty promises and appeasing the SNP respectively.
He claimed that the UK needs a party that "transcends class and ethnic divides" and that only UKIP can deliver an "opportunity to vote for change".
The comments form part of a two page advert in The Telegraph, which claims that the current climate of political uncertainty is the ideal time to "vote with your heart".
"When you go into the polling station on 7 May, think about the direction you want for this country," the advert reads. "We're the party of controlled immigration, strong defence and common sense," it concludes.
However, Duncan Smith, Work and Pensions Secretary, warned that UKIP support could enable Labour to take power by splitting the right-wing vote, ironically removing opportunity for an EU referendum.
"The last thing I always say to UKIP people on the doorstep is that for 24 years I have campaigned for a referendum on the European Union. And [...] if they do not vote for the Conservatives, then basically they will have taken away that referendum from the British people," he told The Telegraph.
