UKIP now at 24% 10 Years, 9 Months ago
|

www.comres.co.uk/poll/1293/sunday-mirror...t-on-sunday-poll.htm
'This month, ComRes experimented with including UKIP in its main question, instead of listing it under Other parties, by splitting the sample and asking half of respondents, "would you vote Conservative, Labour, Liberal Democrat, UKIP or some other party?" The results of this this experiment were as follows:'
Con 29%
Lab 31%
LD 7%
UKIP 24%
Green 5%
Other 5%
Does make you wonder if the polls were deliberately rigged?
Also 61% of voters want Farage in the leaders debate,at 7% Clegg should be on his way out.

Wait till next year when the Tories will make promises they made last time, not forgetting that Lab/Libs/Toffs will hijack UKIP polices.
David Cameron will repeat himself by saying Tories will give us a referendum, be tough on immigration and claw powers back from Brussels.
IDS will lose his seat at Chingford.

IDS was an even worse opposition leader than Milliband!

Minor parties often surge between UK general elections. In 1981, less than 18 months from a general election, the SDP-Liberal alliance polled more than 50% of the vote; but at the 1983 general election they secured just 23 seats. A week before the 2010 general election Cleggmania was in full swing and a nation's commentariat wondered whether the party might even win more seats than Labour. As it transpired, it lost five seats.
And what of Ukip, just 12 months after its 16.5% triumph at the 2009 European elections? The party polled nationally at 3.1% and failed to secure a single seat.
Ukip is a cargo-cult political party: one man who connects well with voters trumpeting a half-arsed, barely factually coherent stance on a single issue most voters don't care that much about. Under scrutiny the whole thing will - once again - collapse.
The one man who knows this more than any other is, of course, Nigel Farage. Faced with his party's best chance to win a parliamentary seat in a decade - a by-election, timed alongside the European elections when his salient issue dominates the press, in the wake of a Westminster corruption scandal and in a rural Tory-leaning constituency - he decided not to stand.
Farage knows he's not leading a serious challenge. It's time the rest of us worked that out too.

The Guardian is the last refuge of Looney people who support parties beginning with 'L' for looney. They even supported joining The Euro,like mad Feminists....and stand for just about everything you'd sit down for! 
We were in the worst recession in living memory back when The SDP were formed,it was a quick rise,followed by a dramatic fall.Now we're in a boom time,and UKIP keep on rising.Davis is petrified,and is doing all in his power to mimic their success. Clegg and SillyBandBilly are both so out of touch they forgot to notice!
