True, but sadly they are popular nutters.

Daly with UK voter turn out being so low (between 60% and 70%) it's not so hard to grab some votes, especially if you spew the kind of stuff that UKIP spew.

It'd be interesting to see some vigorous modelling with different amounts of UKIP influence to see what happens (in the fictitious model).

Yeah, because being against a corrupt, unelected organisation that can't even get its own accounts signed off due to corruption and fraud. What a crazy position to take.

Nutters that are becoming increasingly popular.

Indeed. The problem Is that nutters vote nutters in.

A big chunk of the UK consists of nutters. Look at the EDL for example. I've lived places where idiots like that are worshipped.

Thoroughly depressing.

I don't think UKIP have much support here in Scotland - I suspect most people see them as the "Little Englander" party:

Well, if the SNP had had their way you'd be in the Euro instead.
