I see your point, but I disagree that a party that got 12% vote share is
a "minority".

Is there any official definition of minority when it comes to political
parties?...

Generally, any party that has so little electoral support that it has no
realistic prospect of forming or being part of a government.

Ah. Thanks. UKIP supporters will be in denial about this.

ITYM greens or liberal democrats or SNP actually. All polled far less
than UKIP.

In fact apart from Labour and Tory, UKIP is the ONLY other party likely
to form a national government in the next decade

The SNP is a lot more likely to form a national government than UKIP.
