Whoo Hoo! Go Nigel!

[Principled]

First they ignore, then they ridicule, then they lose.

Nigel is being ridiculed and is moving into the third phase...

Can you read the tea leaves, GOP? The establishment Tories will be out of office because of their compromises with Labor. It’s the Brit version of a TEA Party uprising, with out-of-control immigration being the impetus.

Not your typical politician.

Hip Hip for the UKIP......

Results will continue to be counted throughout the day until more than 2,500 council seats are elected on 34 councils.

I think the Brits are just tired of their Quisling elite leaders bringing in millions of "new Englishmen" like these to destroy their culture and country.

He said his party was on course to make big gains, despite being 'abused' by the political establishment, including claims they were 'clowns' and racists'

Sounds like the UK media is taking cues of our media's treatment of the Tea Party and apply it to the UKIP.

Nigel now lets see you be the 31 party in the UK..

BBC, 23 minutes ago:

UKIP has won over 140 seats so far and is averaging 25% of the vote in the wards where it is standing.

The Conservatives have lost control of 10 councils, but retained 17, while Labour has gained two councils and boosted its councillors by over 200.

David Cameron said he would "work really hard to win back" supporters who had decided to vote for UKIP.

Contests are taking place in 27 English county councils and seven unitary authorities, as well as in Anglesey. About 2,300 council seats are up for grabs in England, in a major mid-term test for the coalition government.

Excellent news.

[Skepolitic]

Very interesting.

US politics would be far more interesting if had more than one political party. As it is, US politics is just depressing.

Way to go UKIP!
