Ukip Target Seats

[Ric.ror]

I understand Paul nuttall considered Stoke as the 70th target seat for UKIP. So what are the top ten?

[Zacs-Master]

Mr Nuttall is a fantasist.

More importantly, if Stoke was so far down the list, its a wonder that he bothered to fight a By-Election there in the first place ?

He has a history of fighting impossible seats. He tried to gain Bootle in 2005, 2010, and 2015, as well as a by-election in Saddleworth in 2011. But he still far off his previous masters attempts ( Farage ) which, if memory serves me correctly stands at 7 or 8.

To answer your question directly, I have found the following website, which may be of help :::::

I wonder why Nuttall hasn't told us about how he is related to lots of people that perished on the Titanic ?

He probably is, - you too.

[Samjenko]

Mikey certainly has a fascination with sinking ships.

Top of their list should be Clacton, because if they don't hold on to that they'll be down to zero. And they only hold that because the popular (with his constituents of not with his party) sitting MP jumped ship from the Tories.
I wouldn't be surprised if he hopped back

[mikey4444]

lol Ichy !

[-Talbot-]

I don't know why Nutall doesn't pack politics in and go back to being an astronaut.

[mikey4444]

Talbot...that is actually quite funny !

[THECORBYLOON]

The Stoke constituency is 12th in the list in Mike's link (based on ths Gen Election results in 2015) so I am wondering why UKIP were saying it was 70-ish on their list

[mikey4444]

Corby...wondering ? Really ?

As far as UKIP, in general, and the fantasist Nuttall in particular are concerned, a very large barrow load of salt needs to be taken with anything they say.

[THECORBYLOON]

I seen a bit of the count and before the result was known, the Beeb's reporter was saying that some UKIP folk had said, regardless of the outcome, Nutall's website would say he'd won.

[Samjenko]

He probably did win when you take the (dodgy) postal votes out of the equation.

[mikey4444]

Sam....just accept it...Nuttall lost, and he lost because there aren't enough racists and xenophobes in Stoke.

[Tilly2]

There are a lot though, Mikey. My extended family are both. I cringe at some of the things they say, when I go back,

They think I'm weird.

[Zacs-Master]

Being on here must be good training for that tho Tilly.

[Tilly2]

Yes, Zacs. I've heard it all before.

[naomi24]

//he lost because there aren't enough racists and xenophobes in Stoke.//

And there’s Stoke labelled ‘The capital of Brexit’. Curious.

[Khandro]

mikey; //.Nuttall lost, and he lost because there aren't enough racists and xenophobes in Stoke.//
The implication in that stupid statement is that anyone supporting UKIP is a racist and a xenophobe, while you support labour which is the most racist party of them all.

[mikey4444]

Tilly....that is awful for you and you have my sympathy !

My family are still loyal Labour voters although I have a new relative, in the form of a nieces husband that I found out voted UKIP.

We will have words about that I suspect, at some stage !
