As per Diwrnach post, we need a real good shake up with this election voting system. not at all representative of how the people feel. I'm sure nigel will be back. i hope so anyway.

Just to put UKIPs result into perspective they have gone from 3% to near 12% in five years. From 950,000 votes to 3.million votes and to 118 second places across the country.

To me that is a massive success, even if the number of seats doesn't reflect it.

 

[cheapncheerful]

AND more to come we hope....

I think the result all boils down to the last minute panickers....

I'm right behind you Davey :thumbsup:

The thing is, the ones in control are never going to change the rules to suit the others. We are stuck with the Tories for a long time I'm afraid. Even Labour will be having to look more middle of the road to attract more votes in the future. And when you get middle of the road you get Paddy pants down and his cronies.

Farage needs to stand for leadership again and if he does he needs to use the next 5 years to keep the UKIP momentum going. He really needs to build on this and expand from the roots up.

Every election it boggles my mind how the voting system works. nearly 4 million people, 12% of the electorate, vote ukip and they get less than 0.2 percent of the MPs? (might be wrong, just quick maths off the top of my head). Then the tories get 3 times the number of ukip votes, fair enough. but then they get like 300+ MPs. That's 1500 times more represention per vote than ukip (I think I got the maths right).

Farage is absolutely right when he describes the voting system as "bankrupt". It has to be, when you look at that figure I've just given you.

I used to think the lib dems were hard done to by this system, but for ukip it's even worse. I mean the lib dems have only 8 MPs, but they had less % of the votes than ukip!

Sorry to state the obvious, but it never ceases to stagger me

We're stuck with it now. They'll never change the system that keeps themselves in power and silences the rising opposition.

Its quite amazing to think that UKIP achieved 12% with the media opposition and smear campaign. Imagine what they could achieve if we had a system, press, and broadcaster that actually gave them a fair representation.

I know, right? The very (and only) people who can change the system are the ones who are kept in power by it. It's one of the biggest conflicts of interest I can think of
