Quote derben at 01 May 2015 7.59am Over 3,000 posts about UKIP, a party that many of the posters dismiss as unimportant, not a threat, will not get many votes. Why the interest then? UKIP is possibly the most important political party in England at the moment as it's their huge number of supporters that could decide the outcome of the general election. Historically 85% of voters (that's my guess) vote along traditional lines and it's the remaining 15% of floating voters that decide the outcome of elections but it's quite possible that those voters that have defected from Conservative to UKIP will stop any party from an outright victory and with the political landscape having changed north of the border with the possibility that SNP will win every seat at Labour's expense the result is likely to be a mess with no party having the authority to govern without having to make deals with unsavoury partners and it's that, that makes UKIP important

For a start, those mentioned never had anything like the projected vote percentage of UKIP. UKIP are now rating much better than the Liberals.
