British Democracy Forum - View Single Post - English Democrats replace UKIP as premier Eurosceptic Party

I think that UKIP and the English Democrats will both get votes in Dartford in next year's EU Election - just as both parties will get votes across the whole country on that occasion.

Both parties should work together where they can. If UKIP is stronger in some areas than the English Democrats (ED) in local elections then perhaps English Democrat party candidates will not stand against them. Likewise in wards where ED candidates do well - it might be a good idea for UKIP not to contest those wards and to concentrate on other wards where it has a bigger electoral following instead.
