It's different over here. Those guys usually win.
Probably due to UKIP offering a sane nationalist alternative: while most of UKIP’s vote (interestingly larger than the SNP’s vote, but only winning one constituency) doubtless came from the Tories and Labour (their protectionist stance vis-a-vis British jobs in the matter of immigration doubtless drew some Labour supporters), I have a feeling pretty much everyone who might ever have voted BNP as a protest vote went UKIP instead, leaving only the very small hard-cord BNP types.
Best case scenario was a right coalition and the UKIP would have got the chance at bargaining for a token reduction in immigration and frivolous racial lawsuits.
They weren’t going to get a complete cut that they wanted.
The Swedish third party offered the coalition they were in a 50% cut in immigration when they wanted a 90% cut in immigration. Then the Boehner-Swedes and Pelosi-Swedes teamed up to pass an 8 year budget to keep screw over the third party.
A Drudge headline: “THE STRANGE DEATH OF LIBERAL BRITAIN...”
How about rebirth of conservative Britian?
