    Yes indeed Alex you are absolutely right, according to my figures here UKIP stand at 7% which has shown some growth, all the small parties under the 'Others' label have seen some growth, this is probably due to mid term disgruntlement with the government. What UKIP need to do is to transfer all this into at least one seat. Nigel Farage had a fair stab at it last time around, stood down as leader to concentrate on the election. I dont have his figures immediately to hand but despite him being a familiar and good TV performer he failed to transfer it into a win. In fact he was well beaten as I remember. This despite something of a pre election flurry. So, no seat for UKIP as yet.

    The interesting thing is as you say...only 1% behind a rudderless Libdem outfit which is still floundering on the rocks. If UKIP claw their way higher in the polls they will probably leave the 'Others' tag behind.

    So...All to play for. But remember second is no good, its win or nothing in politics.
