Since MEPs can't get us out of Europe either, this doesn't matter.

What does matter is making a good show in the generals. Saving the resources for those will help UKIP fight better and avoid the "death by a thousand cuts" which the party is doing to itself via engaging with the idiot opposition on local level - every little argument with a jumped up little Hitler at local level is a touch more tarnish on the image... ...and politics is a negative image game - you start minty fresh and acquire the tarnish as you progress into battle, then the proles go and vote for the least tarnished party. It's why the NuLabour spin machine has been so effective at keeping them in - it's like a tin of Brasso.
