Is it an Age Thing?

We're all supposed to troop off to the polls next week for local and European parliament elections and, is often the case, I've no idea who I'll want to vote for. I do, however, know of one party who definitely won't be getting my X in their box:

Step forward the UK Independence Party. Quite apart from the fact that I'm fundamentally opposed to their basic policy, let's have a look at their "celebrity" endorsers. These include such ,er, luminaries as Joan Collins, Patrick Moore, Edward Fox,Sir Stirling Moss and the intensely annoying Robert Kilroy-Silk.

We're not exactly appealing to the younger element of the electorate with this rag-bag collection of has-beens and never-weres, are we?
