    Huge vote for UKIP in your constituency, but no prizes for coming second. Still, we have the council results tomorrow.
    On a positive note UKIP will know where they have performed well nationally and can concentrate future resources. However, how long are an electorate going to back a party who has just 1 MP and no momentum.

    It all depends on the nature of the referendum... a narrow "In" win would be great for UKIP. An "Out" vote would achieve their aim, but would be a disaster for the party.

    We need some results from Yorkshire and the Midlands before we can truly work out if the Tories are heading for a majority or not. My guess is they might just edge it.

    I was expecting some sort of Labour government so the chance of a referendum is quite a shock. 2 years is not long at all to put forward a strong case for leaving.
