Earlier this year, Nigel Farage announced that he wanted to cause a “political earthquake” at next year’s European Elections by winning them? Well, first of all, isn’t that what is supposed to happened in 1999 (7% of the vote and 3 MEP’s), 2004 (16% of the vote and 12 MEP’s) and 2009 (17% of the vote and 13 MEP’s) and second “Define a win, Mr.

    Win or not - UKIP will always do very well in Euro elections.

    Out of curiosity, who is the thread author?

    I don't think you can count UKIP 'winning' in terms of votes cast or seats won - it really will be measured by 'How much damage do they do to the Tories and will the turnip taliban press the self destruct button?'......on which count, I'd say their chances are pretty good....

    Events are closing in on Ed Balls
    The Co-op has launched an internal audit into the behaviour of the Rev Paul Flowers following revelations that he bought drugs and – according to the Sun this morning – used rent boys while on bank business.

More awkward is the revelation that the Reverend arranged a £50,000 donation to Ed Balls' office last year. Mr Flowers was suspended from his membership of the Labour party yesterday while the police investigate his activities.
