As a democrat, but a member of no party, but who is an English nationalist opposed to the EU, I would have thought it sensible for both the EDP and UKIP to throw their respective hats in the ring! Ultimately, all that voters are doing is electing a Member of Parliament to represent them! To my mind, it is by no means certain that Davis will be re-elected . . . voters can react unexpectedly when they feel their votes are being taken for granted!
You should have heard Dennis Macshane's disgraceful going on about the reasons why Irish voters voted against the Lisbon Treaty! According to him it was an anti-abortion campaign, dissatisfaction with the government, dee-da dee-da dee-da! Anything but rejection of the bl**dy treaty!! Similarly, pundits will go into endless theorising about what's at stake in the Haltemprice By-election. All I know is that all the other parties would look stupid if it became a straight contest between Davis and a BNP candidate and the BNP candidate was elected!!! Remember, this constituency abuts Hull . . . a port town.
