If an Election is set for November 1st.....

If which is looking likely, an election is set for Nov 1st. How will UKIP do? I reckon it will be a real hiding (for UKIP), with a strong rise in support for the BNP and the Tories losing by a fair bit.

Now, is their any plan in place if a snap election is called? Is their any funding in place if ojne is called? Or is everything just going to be off the cuff like I think it will be. Manifesto being devised, rebranding etc?

It is a little unfair to judge without seeing the UKIP conference. These things can turn around a party's fortunes. If Farage reveals a bold new brand for UKIP, with a full complement of strong, properly funded policies, combined with a shadow cabinet to implement them.... then maybe UKIP can start to look serious.

Looking through the agenda, there isn't a lot of room for bold new policy announcements... there is some room there though, so we may yet be surprised.

Plans are advancing for a "SNAP" election... More news at conference...
