    Nothing has changed though. Little to no Lab/Con change in E&W. Add in 25 LD gains and we get to a majority.

    Irrespective of the UKIP result I think the vote share for all the peripheral parties indicates a dislike of the traditional politician. If anything comes out of all this I just hope that there will be a change in the way MP's relate to the electorate.
