The europhile political establishment :evil: in our country are not going to allow any electoral system which helps UKIP win seats in the Commons.

If a system of proportional voting were used for UK General Elections and UKIP started to win seats and rapidly become a more powerful electoral force in the land - the europhiles :x in the Commons would simply unite to vote through changes to the voting system in order to hold UKIP back.

What UKIP needs to do is to win under the voting system used now for General Elections.

And that means - among the constituencies UKIP contests at a General Election - having three or four key target seats in which it makes a serious effort to get the highest possible vote (in an attempt to win those seats).
