VOTES CAST TO DATE

Votes cast to date?
Anyone interested or am I too late again?

6,294

Not bad. I'd like to think all 17k would vote though.

Not sure which candidate this favours, but I can't imagine Farage not winning to be honest.

Say 1k of those is activist votes (probably a gross overestimate).

That means we have over 5k of casual mag readers. With the Nige and DCB special of Independence sent out with the papers, it would be hard to imagine any other result.

Mind, some may just vote on the two page election address, which would favour Richard and DCB.

YOu might get the anti-establishment vote being suspicious and voting against DCB and Nigel, for the blatant bit of bias done by Independence.

It's exciting though Tommy. I could crush a grape.

I am quite looking forward to the immediete reaction from the winners and losers too. It could make quite a difference to the way the party goes from there.

Wow. I was expecting somewhere in the region of 4,000. Impressive.

I just hope no silly business has gone on.

I think it would be hard for it to have. They did a good postal vote. Well as good as it can be.

You will never believe it! We now have a postal strike at Exeter which controls our deliveries. So we will probably slow up, and expect a sudden surge later. How come my junk mail still get's through?

Its way over a third of the whole membership.

BTW what was the percentage of Tories that voted in their leadership election.

It disturbs me that 2/3rds of our members haven't voted to be honest. I though being a UKIP member meant you cared about such things much more.

Perhaps I am mistaken.
