//it's near impossible for a new party to spring from nothing to a parliamentary majority.//
Correct Geezer. But after this debacle it is just possible, indeed likely, that a third party(ever heard that phrase before?) could take enough votes by not being partisan. But not by being anti EUSSR either......just by being pro UK. We need to smash the comfortable two party set up that betrays us all, and think about voting for the pivot of the see saw......UKIP. Live long and prosper.
