Yeah, but UKIP are nutters.
Daly with UK voter turn out being so low (between 60% and 70%) it's not so hard to grab some votes, especially if you spew the kind of stuff that UKIP spew.
It'd be interesting to see some vigorous modelling with different amounts of UKIP influence to see what happens (in the fictitious model).
A big chunk of the UK consists of nutters. Look at the EDL for example. I've lived places where idiots like that are worshipped.
Thoroughly depressing.
