Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

12% if those who voted and 8% of those entitled to vote. Not a poll, actual figures from GE.

Give over Hays. We can all do sums. Who knows the political composition of those that didn't vote. According to the polls, around 12% of the electorate, that is all entitled to vote, support UKIP. Your 8% is meaningless. But if it rows your boat, go with it.
There won't be an election for 4 years in any case.

No. 12% of those who actually voted, voted for UKIP.

Well seeing as nearly 4 million voted for UKIP but only achieved 1 seat, and
yet UKIP had more votes then the SNP, LibDems and the Greens put together.

It is a major problem for emerging parties. They do not have the party machinery in each constituency to do much better. The Libs manage high numbers of MPs sometimes because their support is concentrated in a small number of specific areas such as the West Country. Labour are strong in metropolitan areas and the Conservatives are in rural areas and specifically the Home Counties.
There is no natural area for UKIP. Their strongest showing is in areas of low education and strong racist opinions such as Clacton, parts of Kent, East Anglia and a few northern areas with high immigration.
UKIP can't make inroads without local party machinery and central control. It has taken the other parties more than 60 years to develop their methods. They have vast databases of people who will vote for them. Come the election, it is about getting the vote out
UKIP would need about 25% support to get much of an increase in MPs, because they do not have strong enough support in specific areas. They attempt to increase their vote in some even way across the country. First past the post means that strategy will always fail.

Forget shoes iturama, good hips (wide) would be my preference and thighs that squeeze, not break like twigs i.e. the above. Personality that makes you laugh and ok big nipples if that floats your boat :0) Forget super models.
