Are the UKIP
gains the result of people wanting UKIP to be in power or are they demonstrations
that some voters are strongly against certain things? It is traditional, in midterm
elections, for the party in power to lose votes, but they usually lose them to
the main opposition party simply as a protest against what the government is
doing. Maybe, in these May local elections, the vote for UKIP should be looked
at by the main parties as demonstrating that some voters are in favour of some
things that UKIP stands for and to simply dismiss it as a protest vote could be
a serious mistake.
What does
UKIP stand for? I am the wrong person to comment as I am not a supporter but it
seems to me that the three main things that they stand for are:
Getting out
of Europe
Tightening
up on immigration controls
Stopping the building of HS2
