Also BNP did not stand in this seat last time, they are probably likely to do so now and if it means causing UKIP to lose the seat then they may put in a effort.
However May the 1st is now even more important than ever before, if UKIP fail to hold 2 seats on the GLA then it would make it look harder for them to hold Spinks seat and would also be a moral downer to their members. Also is spink loyal or an opportunist and if he sees UKIP not doing that good will he stick around?
I guess that the BNP researchers will be working on Spink now to uncover anything which should be highlighted in the interests of the tax payer like they have been doing with many other MP's and Organisations.
However from an anti-EU view I hope UKIP actually manage to throw a spanner in the works, however I dont expect much as UKIP seems to be useless.
