Ukip. All discussion here please.

It's just hit High Green.

 

A stunning result for UKIP, in both elections.

 

No longer can people suggest a vote for UKIP is a wasted vote.....They can now target Labour, Conservative and Liberal seats across the country.

It really doesn't matter to me where or how they're educated, what does matter is what they have to offer.

What people in Clacton have done is to re-elect the exact same public school educated career politician they had before, with most of the same advantages and most of the same disadvantages. Carswell's political views were always very close to UKIP.

This is the same Clacton that painted over a Banksy because it was racist.

Rotherham must be a very real possibility for UKIP. I really don't know how anybody could vote for Labour after what has happened there.

 

If UKIP pick and choose their seats where there's real hatred for the parties holding the seat then yes, maybe it is. Don't forget these two words though: "protest vote"

The problem for Labour and the Tories is that they have failed to address the concerns of those protesting and as a result the protest continues to grow. Far from people slipping back to usual voting patterns as we edge closer to a General Election, we are actually seeing a huge ground swell of support shifting to the UKIP camp and pledging to stay there.

 

The next poll re GE voting intentions is going to be interesting.

Here's the "Downfall" parody! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLJfB8btWbI&feature=youtu.be

 

Oh, and if you think Clacton is bad, try visiting nearby Frinton-On-Sea!

Not really. They are dull as dishwater. And not very accurate.

 

Here you go though. The current state of the nation. Small earthquake, nobody hurt.

That poll was taken before the by-election results. We'll have to wait and see whether the results have dispelled some of the 'wasted vote' concerns and changed how people intend to vote.

Spot on. The old 3 parties are all underlining their committment to open door mass immigration and to continued EU membership.

 

If you're fed up of mass immigration and want out of the EU, none of the old 3 are an option because they have formed a Westminster consensus to ignore us all.

Go to bed with David Cameron, and wake up with Ed Minigland.
