Yes - 13% nationally would see UKIP do extremely well again in next year's EU Election.

If UKIP got 13% nationally in a General Election it could mean that the party was coming very close to - or even winning - a couple of constituencies in the south-west of England (an area, for those who do not know it, where support for UKIP is now generally higher than it is in most other parts of the UK).

In view of UKIP getting over 13% of the vote in the Fenlands local ward By-Election on Thursday of this week - would it not be a good idea for UKIP head office to decide to seriously target the constituency which covers the Fenlands and make it a priority seat for UKIP from this time onwards?
