Unlikely given the pathetic result UKIP got in the most recent
elections,
just one MP elected, and that one a refugee from the Tories that who
wouldnt even do what UKIP wanted him to do about putting his snout
in the HoC trough on staff. Nothing to be scared of there.


And yet:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election/2015/results

Ordered by share of the votes

Party Vote share Seats
Cons 36.9% 331
Lab 30.4% 232
UKIP 12.6% 1
LibDem 7.9% 8


And tell me again why we still used this broken arsed voting system?


Because if we went proportional representation we would have governments
resembling the EU.


More accurately resembling Israel, Italy etc.

Its odd that UKIP want out of the EU but are prepared to put the country
into the same political state if it benefits themselves.


Nothing like the same political state, just the same voting system.

On second thoughts its just "I'm alright stuff everyone else".


More that they have realised that they haven't got a hope in
hell of ever getting more than a tiny handful of MPs with the
current voting system.
