Consider that in the British Parliament... England excluding London has 452 seats. London has 73, Scotland has 52, Wales 30, and N Ireland 18. (N Ireland releases count tomorrow) In England, The UKIP carried everything except London, and the two Northern constituencies on the Scotland Border. Labour only beat UKIP by less than 4400 votes. It is an earthquake.
