Farage would say that tho wouldn't he? The fact that UKIP failed to fully consult their existing UKIP candidate for the area shows what a caring party they are and demonstrates their desire to have MPs in the Commons at any cost.
There will be more on the way, and more people will vote for them. At one time you had to almost apologize for voting UKIP -now its becoming a real alternative to people who are not racist but feel this country needs to change the law to allow only people into the country -of all nationalities creeds and colours -that can benefit us, not drain us dry
Yes, it's a possibility but the likelihood of them forming a Government in the foreseeable future is.....well.....nil. So they're not going to be 'a real alternative' any time soon . Thank goodness.
