UKIP need about 6% of the vote to get a proportional (list) seat on the Assembly - it will be disappointing if they just miss winning a seat because part of the anti-EU votes went to anti-EU One London instead.

All three parties should try to work together in some form of limited or full alliance and all win then benefit electorally.

The problem that will occur should a temporary merger happen is, in the event the merged Parties receive 6% of the vote, deciding which Party will occupy the seat that is won. I doubt very much if any of the participating Parties will give up the seat without a fight.

It's all fear. DC has received a shred of info from one of the establishment parties that the BNP is on course for one seat on the LA. The loser to the BNP isn't possible to identify yet, but is more likely to be One London rather than Lib-Lab-Con. A second BNP seat might reduce the Greens to just one even with an anticipated rise in Green votes following the split and weakening of Respect.
