Realistically, apart from a win, it would - should - be an expectation for UKIP to come second. At the other end of the scale, a saved deposit should be the LEAST expected. Otherwise, to be beaten by pro-Euro Lib Dems and Labour in a seat held by a former critic of the EU, in a seat where UKIP has high expectations from its campaign, its candidate and the money spent, would be a disaster.
I notice the poll at present suggests 75% or more think at least 20% is achievable, I hope they are right for their sake, because anything less, much less, could spell big trouble for the both UKIP and its candidate.
As a matter of good faith, I have sent a small donation to both the UKIP and the EDP, as I consider each party worthy of support, and could not bring myself to make a choice between them, though I don't expect the EDP to do that much damage to UKIP's campaign, not with billboards and Farage's high-profile in this election. But, you never know!
