I think the Greens are strong only in 'pocket areas'.
Places like the Oxford East constituency (where they are on about 20% of the vote) or in the Labour-held Brighton Pavilion constituency where they nearly came a very good second at the last General Election.
They also stack up votes in parts of the London Borough of Lewisham and one or two other areas.
UKIP should follow the strategy of the Green Party which is to target its strongest areas and build up support at local level (ward branches, getting councillors elected) in order to boost the prospects of their parliamentary candidates in those constituencies.
I now believe that there are up to four parliamentary constituencies in England where the Greens may be able to become the main challenger to the sitting MP in the medium or long term.
That is the position UKIP should now be in - not the leftist, europhile Greens.
