Nigel Farage has just said that UKIP are a strong second in the postal votes, which preceded the adoption scandal.

Could the poll result be a political milestone? 

[Rods2]

According to the DT, where UKIP have opened a campaign shop in Rotherham, they took over £8000 in donations today, their canvassers are getting a good response. 

Lets hope so, as there is nothing like success to bring more success. 

Squeaky bum time for the Labour candidate me thinks. 

[albitz]

Not as squeaky as the Tories.
1st Liebore
2nd UKIP
3rd BNP
4TH Respect
5th Tories
Limpdems 8th and probably lost their deposit.
Osborne & Cameron have stated in recent weeks that the issue which could cost them the next election would be the failure to back Gay marriage.Thats how out of touch politicians can get when they spend their lives listening to the chattering classes in Posh London suberbs.

UKIP also 2nd in Middlesbourough,with the Tories in 4th.

Scary thing is,the next Govt. will either be Liebore or a Liebore/Limpdem coalition.Rods2, might as well switch the light off when you leave mate.

Not necessarily Albs!  If UKIP can convince the public in the next couple of years that they're more than a bunch of antiEU-nutters, then they could be holding the cards after the next election.  They have much work to do though to achieve that in my opinion!

Yep, the limpdems have pretty much obliterated their support at the polls by going into coalition with the tories without any policies that are in a workable state to put on the table, so with a bit of luck it won't be them looking to form the next coalition. Woe betide we get a limp/labour coalition. That will finish us!

[cleggy]

I am a UKIP voter, but when it comes to a general election they will be the choice for disaffected Tories splitting the vote and allowing Liebore to increase their vote. I think that the Limps will not count for a thing unless they break the coalition next year and run with their own policies. Clegg will then piss off back to his EU job, good bloody riddance

UKIP have two years to up their game and become the third party even holding the balance of power. They will do very well in 2014 at the european elections but when it comes to first past the post then I fear they will not gain many seats. A mass desertion from the tories would help, but they will fear losing their seat and cushy life, unless the seat is very marginal and they will lose it anyway.

If Liebore and the Limps do suceed then as previously stated , Rods2, turn the lights out.

[Rods2]

Sad as it may seem it may need the country to go bankrupt under the next Liebour Government for people in the north of the country to think about voting for any other party than them and likewise down the south for voting for anybody but the Conservatives.

One of the biggest things that affects our lives, like it or not is politics, but 95% of people don't vote for a candidate or a party on merit, but because their great granddad, granddad and dad did, or their aunt Nellie has always voted for them.

Sadly with many things in life we get what we deserve if we don't put the time and effort in an area to get a different outcome. The same applies to politics. I know us activists get moaned at on here from some sections of OOF members, where they have no interest in politics, but sorry it does affect all and everyone of us. Like if the EU goes ahead with their anti-tampering policies on cars and bikes. It won't be like the rest of the continent, where in France the MOT tester will just give a gaelic shrug and ignore the rules for his friend Pierre the car tuner down the road, because in France and many other European countries loyalty to friends and family is in their mindset above the law. In my experience this country is the worst in Europe for family loyalty and a persons family being the centre of their lives.

It comes down to the same as all things in life, if you don't like something, do something to change it.

I haven't joined UKIP yet or become a canvasser for them but if I was staying in the UK then I would do both before 2014, knowing I had done my best to achieve what I think was the best for the country. Individuals can make a difference as locally we found when a Conservative counsellor was making an ass of himself and enough of us voted for a independent to get him out.

It is up to all of us to do our bit to change things if we don't like them. UK society includes all of us.

Spot on, on both counts.

Well done UKIP 

[Lizzie_Zoom]

I know one thing, the leader of my Party, the Conservatives, MUST now pull himself together and get going with positive leadership.

The situation currently as appalling.  I cannot abide the thought of another Labour government, but the way it is going Cameron is handing it to them on a plate!!

UKIP with Labour?  Even a worse thought.  In fact an utter nightmare!

There in lies the problem the muppet seems to think that gay marriage is more important than europe, how queer is that

Camerloon and Tosbourne don't live in the real world, never worked for a living, career politicians with no grasp of anything except themselves and their wealth. They have no concept of what the people in this country want, all promises and no action, Back bone less self serving rich boys.

Lizzie  VOTE UKIP

I don't like seeing Britain going down the pan even though I don't live there. I might return one day.

As I see it neither the Conservatives or Labour with or without Lib Dems as a coalition are any good for the country. Britain reminds me of a runaway juggernaut, out of control, managing to avoid hitting anything despite the well meaning yanks on the steering wheel by those liars temporarily at the helm over the years.

It would be nice to have some decent competent politicians with the good of the country in their minds and not self serving egotists who can't hold down a real job. Cameron isn't a leader, just someone who happened to be around when the job came up.

What is UKIPs stance on the Leveson report?

A remarkable thing here is BNP in 3rd place.

The major parties just don't get it do they ? They are all trying to be so politically correct, and all things to all people, that they are opening doors for more radical elements.

[tigers_gonads]

Some might not like this BUT the main thing holding UKIP back is Farage himself.
Don't get me wrong here, I love the way he comes across over europe and politics in general but is just doesn't seem to be able to connect with the mainstream public.
Most mp's just laugh at him or ignore him on any debate shows to the point of embarasment.

Imo UKIP needs a leader who can calm down a little and get the partys policys across to the public and also generate the amount of money threw donations that will let them fight the next gereral election on a more even footing.
