and far less than a party with only 1 MP, or a party that wants to be

But much much more than other parties with more than one MP.

In terms of actual voter percentages, UKIP is the third biggest party in
the UK, well ahead of the SNP, Plaid Cymru, Sinn Fein, the Ulster
Unionists, the Greens or the liberal democrats.

At the last election, they got 3.1% of the votes. LibDems 23%.

On those figures, UKIP get vastly more air time than they are entitled to.

So you are talking total ******** as usual.

Absorb that an tell me why the *perceptions* is of a small fringe
minority party.

You consider 3.1% not a minority?


In the euro elections they achieved 20% IIRC correctly. Is that a
fringe party?
