pretty_big   10 #26 Posted December 5, 2016 Considering UKIP makes up than less than 5% of the elected Local Councillors clearly its not very much.  Bear in mind that frog face farage is all busy brown nosing the curious orange, they have still failed to get anything above 1 MP, their membership is less than 33,000 in total and declining AND the fact that their sole party agenda is removed following their referendum, hopefully their demise will be swift.  Don't bet your bottom euro on it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
ANGELFIRE1   10 #27 Posted December 5, 2016 Hiya Penny, you alright flower  The LibDums have still got seven MPs more than the kippers.   Very very true. But here is the rub, at the last election LibDems got 7.9% of the vote and 8 Members of Parliament.  While UKip got 12.6% of the vote and 1 Member of Parliament.  Not overly democratic is it.  Angel1.

Â 7.9% = 8 MP's. V 12.6% = 1 MP. It is so ridiculous You could not make it up. Â If the UKip candidates had been God, Jesus, Mary, Moses and the three wise men they still would have not been elected.

aa2900 Â Â 10 #34 Posted December 6, 2016 You are correct, he's never been elected as a MP and I think he has stood seven times. Only person I can think of who might have had more attempts was Lord Sutch. Â But he did transform the political landscape with just one MP. UKIP got what they wanted which is Brexit and Farage has been shortlisted for Time Magazine's "Person of the Year". Â I think Farage will be pretty content with his lot.
