I'm kind of hoping that they give the same impression of how ready for government that the BNP did - get a few council seats, then people work out that they only have one policy, that they don't do anything else, anything that they promise when campaigning they either can't or won't deliver, and then they fade into obscurity.Comment

Apart from seeing Farage on everything, there wasn't anything round here to see, so I don't know what the policies are apart from being out of the EU and limiting immigration. Since those aren't things that a local councillor could have any influence over, it might explain why they didn't do very well in our area - 8% of the votes cast in the local election (which since the BNP took 2%).
In the general election, 8% voted BNP here and 2% UKIP.Comment

There's been protests about building a couple of turbines near where I live, and protests about HS2 for years being quite close to the route. How many council seats did UKIP get? That's right, none at all.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment
