It looks like UKIP's bubble has burst.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

Untrue, most Ukip supporters are very happy with a job well done and have moved on in their lives after the referendum. Pre the 2015 general election if it wasn't for Ukip Cameron would never have called a referendum, hundreds like me stood because we didn't like way Cameron and his chums governed, our efforts got rid of him. Everybody knew that post referendum Ukip would retire happily.
Ukip are the most influential political party in decades, I'm proud to have been a part of it and am now enjoying the fallout amongst the other parties.
Job done.

With the vote for Brexit, UKIP became superfluous.
The clue is in their name.
I believe the Suffragettes also disbanded shortly after 'votes for wimmin' was introduced.

Exactly Bob, plenty are revelling in the demise of Ukip, they're all Labour Remainers, the smile is on the face of Kippers, not them.

Paul Nuttall will be worried as he is standing in what was a UKIP stronghold in Lincolnshire but all this councillors got wiped out last night.

Or perhaps as David said they are now all yesterday's people, yesterday's news...
Whilst like a chicken without a head the party hierarchy run round in circles, their supporters have gone home to the Tories

Ross, exactly what I stated, without doubt they changed politics, and for the better, not just the referendum but also in councils shaking up the parties who thought they could just turn up and be elected.
I spent some time in south wales where the council 30 years had a big labour majority where other parties didn';t even bother to stand, they weighed in the labour.
But over the years because they took the electorate for granted, slowly people stood a against winning a few seats each 4 years until they got to a position of no overall control between labour and independents.
Ukip has done it's job, and like you say many returned to the tory fold, only 1 seat surviving.
Its probably time now for them to disband

I think UKIP could get back to where it was but would need a new policy,we are not out of the EU yet still a lot of work to be done.UKIP could help in doing that ,we should not pay the EU a penny to come out,what we done in the wars to save them and the 1000s who got killed doing it ,and then after that help and spend millions of pounds to rebuild Germany making into what it is today, it is them should be paying us.UKIP still the top UKparty in the EU could help turn this round.

I'm afraid for many erstwhile Labour voters, UKIP has proved a 'gateway drug' to Conservatism, which is very hard to quit as it activates so many pleasure receptors.

Like so many recreational substances, kills people in the end.
