Just to go back to the national percentages for the moment...
although UKIP are running at a boosted 7% in the national YouGov polls and the Libdems are running a mere 1% above them...there nevertheless is a huge diiference embodied in that 1%.
What is it you ask?
Seats...yes seats. The Libdems have a large number of seats and although their poll rating has slipped from a once ( albeit brief) popular high..they have a considerable amount of seats in parliament...55 or so.
They have turned their percentage in the polls into seats in parliament. UKIP have nary a one as we know and yes I would agree that Nigel Farage is the most likely to win a seat for UKIP. But the voter often votes with tradition in a general election and would a party with one MP in parliament make much of a voice. The Greens have one MP, Caroline Lucas, she rattles about and makes a lot of noise but can a single MP ever get anything done?
