UKIP continues to surge. This week before the elections (which are Thursday) there has been a concerted effort by other parties to smear UKIP based on a handful of crazy candidates. Obviously being a small party they don't yet have the resources to vet candidates in the same way the major parties do. However as this poll shows, it has backfired, people aren't buying it.

But there will be a political earthquake on Thursday........sadly for me, there isn't a UKIP candidate standing in my district (I'll be spoiling), but there are over 1700 standing where elections are taking place, and I am very confident they will win in the hundreds.

I have never see such enthusiasm for a political party.

Good luck to UKIP. They’re not perfect, but they’re the best hope the UK has.

This has been an interesting thing to follow. Makes me wonder if it portends anything over here in the US, as our own two parties have all but merged into a single big-government, ruling-class party.

Good luck in this week’s election—this sounds like very good news may be forthcoming.

Does the UKIP have an informal leader such as Sarah Palin or Ted Cruz to help gin up enthusiasm leading up to Thursday’s vote? Or is this just a general uprising such as the Tea Party in the US?

I wonder if Lady Thatcher’s passing reminded people of what a real Tory party could look like?

I hope for your and England’s sake that they keep their momentum and do well.

“UKIP” = what? “United Kingdom Independence Party?” United Kingdom Internationalist Party?”
