| Happy or not we have a winner |
Woke up this morning to a scary new Europe with the rise of the far right. In the UK, it was a night for UKIP in the European election with the main line parties blaming it down to a protest vote, but I’m not sure.
In the end, I voted Labour even though they were not giving me what I wanted a route out of Europe, but with the rise of UKIP it must be something they as a party must look into. The so called 'the people's army’ a popular saying of UKIP leader Nigel Farage has conjured up the biggest political earthquake in donkeys years, possibly ever.
The only good thing about tonight is the destruction of the sell-out party the Liberal Democrats who are trailing in fifth in Euro poll. It will mean little in the long run UKIP win there can’t do much in the European parliament like put the UK out. However, they can make a nuisance of themselves now being the largest UK party in the parliament.
Results in my area,
Cardiff - Labour 24,999, UKIP 18,370, Tories 15,297, Greens 5,939, Liberal Democrats 5,454.
I suppose the general election next year will show how much UKIP have become a threat to the two main parties in British politics. I discard any thoughts on the Liberals being anything but a run of the mill player in next year’s election. Pundits and political analysers won’t have long to wait for a parliamentary election test with the Newark by-election next week, could UKIP get its first MP?
In the last general election UKIP at Newark, they only received 3.8% of the vote.
