Edited by Kermit8 (08 May 2015 11.05am) I don't like UKIP but they got twice the national percentage of vote that the Lib Dems got. UKIP got one seat, the Lib Dems have 8. That is neither representational or democratic. The SNP isn't really a fair example, as that's a different country, but the fact that they nearly doubled the Lib Dem turn out, and still finished behind them in seats points to how f**ked the system is. Doesn't matter what party the represent or how you feel about them, if you support representative democracy, its impossible to claim its a fair result. If the SNP was called something different and stood in England, they'd probably have crucified Labour as well, as most peoples only issue with them seems to be a fear of them being Scotish (indeed the Conservatives were more worried about the SNP than Labour).

Come on Thanet South - champing at the bit here.

CON Hold

I feel Farage has been hard done by. With the 3rd most votes and only 1 seat. This is why politics are so corrupt

Edited by Daz.CPFC (08 May 2015 10.39am)

Nothing in the South Thanet campaign was about the qualities of the other candidates. It was all about keeping Farage out. All the nasty literature and smears from UAF et al. there paid off.

South Thanet have "not" Farage, but have lost someone who would have actually represented them on a local platform.

1 seat from 13% of the vote. That's why UK politics is such a joke.

They represent a few pockets of the UK quite well but not the main swathe. They just didn't have enough broad appeal.

Edited by Kermit8 (08 May 2015 11.05am)

I don't like UKIP but they got twice the national percentage of vote that the Lib Dems got. UKIP got one seat, the Lib Dems have 8.

That is neither representational or democratic.

The SNP isn't really a fair example, as that's a different country, but the fact that they nearly doubled the Lib Dem turn out, and still finished behind them in seats points to how f**ked the system is.

Doesn't matter what party the represent or how you feel about them, if you support representative democracy, its impossible to claim its a fair result.

If the SNP was called something different and stood in England, they'd probably have crucified Labour as well, as most peoples only issue with them seems to be a fear of them being Scotish (indeed the Conservatives were more worried about the SNP than Labour).

Edited by Kermit8 (08 May 2015 11.05am) As usual you are talking out your ass again. If UKIP gained 6% or 7% of votes where you live or in some other places as you mention then they must also have gained 19% - 20% of votes in other areas because the facts don’t lie - UKIP have polled somewhere around 13% of the national electret. If you take into account the lack of UKIP support in Wales, N Ireland and Scotland then the level of English votes for UKIP is probably up near or around 20%. If I were you maybe I would spend more time wondering why your lot, the Greens polled so badly. Or...they got 25-35% in a minority of sympathetic and target areas and the significant majority was 6-10% in others to make that 13%. If the whole of Manchester and the NW voted for 'Betty's Hot Pot Party' would you be calling their share '13% of the national electorate' or a regional anomaly? LOL - are you that stupid? Every constituency in the country is a 'targeted area' or do you think these parties just turn up on Election Day and hope for the best. So Kermit - why do you think your lot the Greens polled so few? Oh, dear. You're still a bit wet behind the ears, aren't you? Teenage angst too? Oh, well. The Greens? Hmmm..they polled badly because they campaigned badly? Just a thought. They increased their share of the vote and retained their seat. Which of course UKIP's Mr Reckless actually failed to do. A good election but hardly a success give they lost their first seat and their leader failed to get elected. Interestingly the real success stories of the election are UKIP and the Scotish National Party (who now have the youngest MP since the 17th century, a 20 year old student who hammered her SLP heavyweight opposition). Labour and the Lib Dems are the losers, but the Conservatives haven't actually increased their share of the vote very significantly.
