Likewise now - debates must include UKIP - why? Because the media (showing the debates) have invented a "powerful" party - UKIP - where, in reality, it's just "a good story".
But JK is correct- Clearly the vast majority of voters did not want any of these people.

A few screaming fans doesn't mean a political career Mr King. UKIP are there because the public support them,the other parties obviously haven't got that level of support...ignore the public at your peril....even Milliband has started to take notice!

Vote NO to be be part of the United Kingdom??? Obviously not.
A poll would probably put One Dimension at 65% Patt but even you wouldn't suggest they be in the debate.
