UKIP 4 votes? UKIP should have got TEN TIMES THAT BY ACCIDENT - i.e. old folk with poor reading glasses putting their crosses in the 'wrong' box :twisted: .
It's time the UKIP MEP's were obliged to canvass widely over the entire by-election period - in both local and Parliamentary contests.
Most voters won't have met an MEP and will be impressed by UKIP if a UKIP MEP calls at their door.
Had UKIP MEP's canvassed hundreds of houses each at Edinburgh Murrayfield I believe UKIP could have turned last Thursday's local by-election INTO phpbb_a 'three horse' race with every possibility of UKIP winning the ward.
The local UKIP team seem to have done the best they could - but were heavily squeezed in a battle between Conservatives and Fiberal 'Democrats'.
UKIP must now use the MEP's in its election campaigns for local elections, Parliamentary by-elections and other contests. :shock:
