Penistone999 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Good point. If the word from the count in Eastleigh live on sky news is right ,then UKIP could well have beaten the Tories and come second behind the Lib Dems with Labour a distant forth.

Kid Sampson Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Nigel Farage said "If the Conservatives hadn't split our vote we'd have won." Genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamSmith Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Finally voters show their disgust at the major parties, giving the conservatives a good beating and running the Lib dems pretty close, it seems the electorate may finally be waking up and saying "enough is enough" it seems only UKIP has the balls to say what the majority of people in this country think, which is no more unfettered immigration, no more open door migration from euro states and our wholesale withdrawal from the financial ties of the european parliment which includes£75 million a day to europe and in foreign aid, if someone was writing a story on how not to run a country it would probably go along the lines of what we have now,mostly inherited from the liebour years and tony Bliar.
