Ukippers if you want to.
Is the world being turned upside down by the Ukippers? There is something of the English Civil War about them. They are against all the above parties and the so called establishment. The Diggers, Levelers and the Muggletonians were all very influential in the 1640's. Cromwell understood and used their collective power to have the head of Charles I in 1649. Is this now the case with Ukip? Mark Reckless the newly elected MP for Rochester and Strood had his tail up and was brimming with chutzpah yesterday. Cameron and Miliband are now on the back foot. Their troops are looking at the entrails and don't like what the foretell. Farage is forecasting the possibility of having in the region of 40 seats in May 2015. If the Scottish National Party (SNP) do what they can do in Scotland then its good night Vienna for Miliband as PM - unless he can be propped up by the SN.P. The two main parties are now fighting for 30% of the vote. In the past it would have been about 40% so that 10% appears to be gone forever. The Green Party are taking some of the middle class left away from Labour and the Lib/Dems will have their old followers and perhaps pick up say 20 seats? So coalition government or a minority one is up for grabs in the general election in May.
