UKIP got almost 900 votes in some wards it contested in Rotherham ('south' Yorkshire) on 1.5.2008. They were the highest votes in the country for UKIP on that day.

Anti-UKIP europhile Labour MP Denis MacShane (who was sacked as 'Europe' Minister from the Blair Government) represents Rotherham in the House of Commons.
