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

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

Not really surprising the SNP polled less than UKIP, since they had no
candidates other than in Scotland. But in that country, the UKIP vote
really was a minority.

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

Only a true optimist would think a party who got half the number of seats
at this election they'd had before it has any chance of forming a
government in the next decade.
