[EDDIE51]

Gains for the conservatives from Labour but UKIP lose all their seats.

Is anybody remotely surprised that UKIP has been wiped out ?

[youngmafbog]

No they achieved what they set out to do so many thanks to them.

There is an opportunity to have taken up an opposition mantle. However without Sir Nigel in place the party has lost its way so time now for it to either fold or remain a a fringe party.

[EDDIE51]

I was certain it would happen, I did not say so on here as I knew it would be vehemently denied by the AB's UKIP supporters.
I now predict the UKIP will not get a single seat in the general election.

[youngmafbog]

It's been discussed a few times on here, I dont recall anyone thinking UKIP could survive unless they realigned the Party. Which they did not so the inevitable has happened.

Same for Labour really, failing to relign a Party that has achieved what it set out to do for the working man needs to re align. Problem is they seem to be thinking realignment is towards immigrants and the workshy. The big problem there is many immigrants are not left leaning and are simply using Labour to get what they want.

Eddie...yes, you are right. There are still people that believe that UKIP is still going to " change the mould of British politics"

But, as has been seen yesterday, they are now a complete irrelevance. I, too, predict that they will fail to get any seats at the GE....even if they do manage to get one or two....so what ?

By the way, has anybody seen anything of Farage recently ?

[youngmafbog]

I'd suggest to you that UKIP have " changed the mould of British politics" and having done so are only required to ensure May does not welch on the deal

As you are so interested on following Lord Farage I founc you this: https://www.facebook.com/nigelfarageofficial/

He is currently backing Le Penn apparently.

"Farage is currently backing Le Pen"....I would never have believed it.....the former UKIP Leader giving support to a Far Right Fascist Party !

Wow you're really sticking your neck out there.

Its beginning to look as if the UKIP voters have crawled back to support the Tories....no surprise there then !

[-Talbot-]

Why use terminology like 'crawled'?

[youngmafbog]

Le Penn is no longer the front Nationale (remember the other day), if that is who you are referring to as a far right fascist party.

And if you are implying Nigel is a far right fascist then you are far from the truth. But then as a commie backer I guess even Bliar appears an extreme right winger to you.

[youngmafbog]

Perhaps they go to the polling booths popped up in Wales Talbot?

[mikey4444]

ymb........so if she isn't the French National Front, who is she then ?

[ummmm]

UKIP achieved what they set out to achieve. Someone on the news this morning said it was quite impressive what they did. They didn't really have any policies but they wanted out of Europe...and they got it...job done.

[mikey4444]

Ummm....But they failed completely yesterday, which is the subject of this thread started by Eddie !

Even in the place where Nuttall is going to stand as an MP in June, UKIP was wiped out.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-39815444

( In Lincolnshire, where UKIP leader Paul Nuttall is standing in the general election in Boston and Skegness, the party went from being the official opposition to having no seats at all as the Tories gained 23 seats)

There may have been a reason for some people to vote UKIP in the past, but not any longer. They are finished.

[ummmm]

I agree they are finished. They got Brexit...there's nothing left for them.

[mikey4444]

On that Ummm, we are agreed !

Bye bye UKIP !

[-Talbot-]

Labour will be finished if Corbyn doesn't fall on his sword after the election.

[ummmm]

Mikey - I don't know a life out of the EU. I think the UK joined the year I was born.

This is quite funny.

[mikey4444]

Thanks Ummm....very funny !
