mjw Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Probably because they got over 4 million votes at the general election. Compare that to the 1.5 million votes the SNP got then you've probably got your answer right there. Glad to be of service ! Compare that to the number of constituencies they stood in and it's pretty pathetic really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree with that analysis. They were practically unheard of a few years ago and have taken British politics by storm and are the main reason we are leaving the EU. Even if you hate them, you would be daft to dismiss them so readily. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to be of service ! 1.5 million is around a 25% of the votes available to the SNP. 4 million is a little over 6% of the votes available to UKIP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedant ! Btw Ukip won the 2014 European elections as the party with most votes.......for a party only 20 or so years old that's impressive! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning seats in a country that elected the BNP to Europe and council seats isn't that much to shout about.Is it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll tell you....because they were totally a different party to UKIP with a completely different agenda. You should know your enemy.

mjw Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Well if you think the 800k+ and 900k+ they got in the 99 and 2004 European elections is 'a few thousand' Unfortunate for them that the new racists on the block had nicer suits and bigger words in their vocabulary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
