UKIP failed nationally, and maybe their time has been, and gone. If other UKIP candidates worked half as hard as our Vic and still only got a few more votes than the BNP, then that says it's time to pack up and go home.
I am still trying to get my head round what happned to the LibDem vote, or we were all just taken in by the media hype? Perhaps the tv and papers were desperate for a three horse race but didn't realise one of the runners was an old nag that just wouldn't be able to perform on the day, any day in fact? I think we were all suckered into their scam.
The Tories had a great night but didn't convert their superiority into seats, but with huge swings required to get a large number off Labour, it was always going to be tight. The swing in Dover was astonishing and brightened up my very early morning tv viewing. Let's see if Gwyn can get a job in the current climate of ageism in the UK where we are nevertheless expecting folks to work into their '70's thanks to the people's party policies!
The Labour vote collapsed as predicted but, not enough for my prediction of a wipe out to come true. However, if Gordie clings to power I am sure the next GE will be terminal for them.
All in all a fascinating evenings entertainment.
