If UKIP wins a seat in Scotland that would be the coping stone that cements UKIPs victory.Scott_P said:

UKIP probably did better in the Sherwood area which is a traditional Labour mining area, so the Tories were probably slightly ahead in Newark, but still all to play for in the by-election as long as UKIP weren't miles behind.MikeL said:Con down only 3% in Newark & Sherwood but behind UKIP.
How does that area compare to Newark parliamentary seat?0 -
That UKIP have won Doncaster shows how significant their win in Newark is, in truth. It's a boost for them, but does anyone think EdM is at risk from a purple decapitation? No.0
-
If Labour now does come 3rd that result will be an absolute killer for Ed, even though he'll walk it at the GE.MikeSmithson said:Doncaster - where Ed Miliband has his Doncaster North constituency - goes purple: Ukip 24,240; Labour 23,743; Tories 9,747 and the LD 1,869.
Remember David Herdson's post a week or so back?

Labour beat the SNP in Edinburgh by 37 votes.0

They stood in national elections, winning 4.7%, lower than the 5% quota required. Other than being Eurosceptic, centre-right, fairly liberal (not been tested, of course). "It is anti-euro, but not anti-EU, and not against European unity" by choice. Wikipedia doesn't mention if their grouping has been decided, only that the Conservatives have courted them for the ECR.DavidL said:Has anyone heard of this Alternative in Germany? I have never heard of them. Where are they likely to sit in the Euro Parliament? Are they likely to form a group with UKIP? Are they more appropriate to sit with than the Front National?

The French result is the one that is going to cause the most ruptions tbh.0
-
So UKIP ahead at the moment 29% nationwide according to BBC's coverage just started, Lab 24%, Tories 23%, Greens 8%, LDs 7%0
-
Looks like the Green 8% bet is on a knife edge.0
-
The way I see it is that if Labour comes third in the Euros they'll be so demoralised that they won't bother to fight the Newark by-election properly, which will give UKIP a big boost.0
-
UKIP on 10% in Scotland, could get an MEP0
-
1-2 is essentially no less pathetic than getting none, it's sheer luck in holding on just enough despite such a plummenting total. On the other hand, if they do manage to hold onto one in the SW, as apparently looks unlikely, for the first time my vote in an election, in sympathy, may actually have had an impact given how tight the margins might be.Pulpstar said:
We need to wait for SE before we confirm that.Ave_it said:LD have lost all their seats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My expectation is 1-2 seats right now for them.0 -

They should let UKIP have a free ride in Newark anyway. If UKIP can win there then all over the country UKIP leaning voters will see it need not be a wasted vote at a GE, and will be more likely to stick with UKIP, and that will hurt the Tories a lot more than Labour.AndyJS said:The way I see it is that if Labour comes third in the Euros they'll be so demoralised that they won't bother to fight the Newark by-election properly, which will give UKIP a big boost.

Cheers Rod. So Labour around 24% nationally?RodCrosby said:
Tories were 12% ahead of Lab in 2009. Looks like 1% now after 2 results. Lab need a 6% con-Lab swing to beat the Tories.Casino_Royale said:

Being "the Party of In" and advertising it too! No-one wants the EU so Nick Clegg can sod off with his lies and distortions to justify it. The Great British public, at best, tolerate it, with a good half wanting to ditch it all together. How I love democracy, and how the wisdom of crowds triumphs over the vested interests ultimately. Mssrs Clegg, Cameron and Miliband, you can fool some of the people all the time and all the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time and you've been found out tonight.GIN1138 said:It really does look as though the Lib-Dems might actually come behind the Greens, LOL!!!!!
