Ryan, I have to say that I think the English Democrats could get an MP elected. It would require targeting of a particular constituency and of them (the English Democrats) managing to 'sideline' UKIP and other 'small' parties in the election battle.
Is the poll at the top of this page based on us having the first-past-the-post electoral system or on a change to another 'system' of voting which might make it easier for parties without representation in the Commons to gain parilamentary seats at Westminster?
By the way, the 'small' party without a seat in the Commons which clame closest to winning a seat there at the last General Election was the Green Party which narrowly missed coming a very good second place at Brighton Pavilion. Labour retained the seat with a reduced majority - but they must now be very worried.
