Read the above then ask the question.
Is this why is the ENGLISH party currently called UKIP is totally irrelevant in Irish, Welsh and Scottish politics?

What is UKIP's recent vote %age in the non-English by-elections?
How many MEP's, MP's, MSP's AM's, County, District or even Parish councillors have been elected under the UKIP banner in Ulster, Wales or Scotland?

I think you could count them on the fingers of one foot.
That's what I meant, even if you think that's not what I said!

What is the point of a policy - however logical and desirable - if it does not command widespread support?

I do recommend that UKIP goes back to the drawing board!
