I am also intrigued by Francis' comparison with the votes of the 2005 GE and the Euro 2004?? Probably over 90% of the BNP's Euro vote came from England, and during the GE of 2005, the majority of their candidates were in England, yet they contested barely a 6th of the available seats, so how can one realistically compare each election?

No matter how you look at it, the BNP achieved the impossible, and UKIP completely blew any inroads it had made over the last 4 years, and based on results since then, are in a downward spiral. Had any other party suffered such an embarrasing collapse of support, then the leader of that party would have either resigned or been booted out. So, how come F-F-F-F-F-FARAGE is still Leader?

UKIP must stop making excuses before it gets wiped out in next years Euro poll where I suspect they will be lucky to hold onto any seats north of Surrey.
