Pfft. 8 points is a BLOWOUT. This wasn’t even close. So much for David Cameron’s ‘comeback’. Good for UKIP!

(Vote for Conservatives not for Republicans)
To: Viennacon
The Conservatives used the demonization method of calling the other party “extreme” like Republicans and Democrats do in this country to scare the 16 percent of people who voted for the Liberal Democrat Party in the last election into supporting them. They got almost all of them but sill lost. That's because two-thirds of Conservative voters and 40 percent of Labour voters from the last election voted UKIP. UKIP is drawing support from both of the major parties in the UK and realigning British politics. IMMIGRATION WAS THE TOP ISSUE WITH UKIP WANTING TO GET OUT OF THE EU AND ITS RULES THAT HAVE FLOODED THE UK WITH CHEAP LABOR.
