With nearly 4 million votes, UKIP is now the third largest party in British politics in terms of vote share.
However, it is disappointing that the country's outdated voting system means nearly 4 million votes for UKIP translates into a minimal number of seats. The SNP needs just 25,000 votes to gain a seat and with it a disproportionate slice of power in Westminster, whereas over 3.5 million votes only translated to one seat for us.
Other than the SNP, the LDs were annihilated and Greens remain at 1 seat. If UKIP does manage to capitalise on the level of electoral support it has come next GE, it won't be that hard to outdo them.

It's a shame really.
