Ukip

[corylus]

Further to my post of the 22nd, 'Who's voted for UKIP?'

Well, lots of the electorate did so didn't they?

[gingejbee]

Yes...and aren't we all fed up hearing about it constantly?

[baza]

enough of us voted UKIP to upset the bigger parties, nothing like a good protest vote.

[mikey4444]

A minority of people did corylus....a largish minority but a minority nethertheless.

[mrs_overall]

I cold tell you who I voted for but then I would have to kill you. My voting habits remain private.

[ChillDoubt]

More than Labour, more than Conservative and 4 times more than the Lib Dems.
Doesn't sound like a minority to me mikey!

[grumpy01]

When you consider that 65% approx didn't vote then more conclusion's can be drawn from that.If that kind of turn out was replicated at a General Election then voter apathy could be a real issue.

[royfromaus]

Minority " a number or amount that is less than half of a total"


Yes only a minority... but a bigger minority than the rest. So mikey the spider is absolutely correct.

[ChillDoubt]

Voter appathy has been an issue in the last 3 general elections grumpy, just look at the figures:

When a party gets more than 29% of the number of votes cast (which also happened to be the largest amount) roy I think it's safe to say they are more than a minority. They almost totalled more than the Coalition parties together!
You and mikey sound more like Chemical Ali every day.

Spider Roy ? !

[royfromaus]

Yes there is only a slight difference, mikey. A spider spins a web, you spin on the Web.
