In the special election last week UKIP took 2/3 of the Conservative voters and 40 percent of the Labour voters in winning with 42 percent of the vote.

UKIP has been drawing in the British National Party voters and even one percent of the voters who supported the small Christian Party in the UK.

If they can pull that all together nationally on May 7th, 2015 in the General Election, they could hit 38 percent of the popular vote, which would get them a majority and victory in the election.

Nigel Farage has a more realistic goal of building UKIP into the party holding the balance of power focusing on 100 or so of the 650 seats in Parliament. We’ll see how that plays out.....

The Democrat and Republican politicians are both making big special interests that line their pockets happy. They are for the big business elites and not the small business owner or average person.

UKIP has been drawing voters from all the parties. The election in May could change the political landscape in the UK. Right now, there are only 2 UKIP members in Parliament. I doubt they could achieve a majority in Parliament this time around, but they could easily supplant the Liberal-Democrats as the third largest party. UKIP could then have a major say in what kind of coalition government is formed.
