UKIP do not hold two seats on the GLA (Greater London Assembly).
The two elected for UKIP defected to Veritas and then quit that party to form One London.
Everyone knows that this year's London Assembly election is a more difficult one for UKIP because - unlike the last one - it is not being held on the same day as an EU Election (meaning that the EU issue - which is a priority issue for the party - is not getting much publicity at this time).
If UKIP win one seat in next week's Greater London Assembly election - under the circumstances (of the media not covering the EU issue very much in this campaign) it will be the equivalent of UKIP winning two seats on the Greater London Assembly four years ago (when the EU issue was being covered widely by the media because the EU Election was held on the same day as the last Greater London Assembly election on 10.6.2004).
London Mayoral Election 2008 candidates: Richard Barnbrook - British National Party, Gerard Batten - UK Independence Party, Siân Berry - Green Party, Alan Craig - Christian Peoples Alliance and Christian Party , Lindsey German - Left List, Boris Johnson - Conservative Party, Ken Livingstone - The Labour Party, Winston McKenzie - Independent, Matt O'Connor - English Democrats, Brian Paddick - Liberal Democrats.
