It Was. They'll Never Have A Better Chance Of A Seat...

Yesterday was their big chance-if they were ever going to win a seat, that was the time. Lots of discontent, people deserting all the main parties, the right wing rags promoting UKIP-if not directly, then running the usual scare stories relating to their policies...sorry, policy...

And they came 2nd. The opportunity was there and still people don't want it, want them. They have proved their lack of credibility and will thus maintain their gadfly role in British politics.

2015 will see a swing back to Labour-and a similar end result to 2010. UKIP will be nowhere, infact, the Greens will probably do better.
