That poll shows Farage up by 9% *in his own district*, right? That’s like touting a poll showing Pelosi up big in her San Francisco district. If Farage leads a coalition of 6 UKIP members, it won’t be much of a “victory,” personal or otherwise.
Not quite, since him not winning his own seat at all is a very real possibility while Pelosi even coming close to losing is not.
Even if it’s 22 seats, that’s still nothing. That’s like 15 seats in the US House. Sure it’s a big breakthough compared to the zero they had after the last election but......
This makes me wish that the instant runoff vote referendum had passed. If all UKIP does is take enough votes from the Tories that Labour wins, that will suck.
Not exactly a safe seat for the FIFTH party though,not even a 3rd party but a 5th!!
