I'm hoping that there'll be a "protest" vote tomorrow but I fear to many revert to type when confronted with the voting slip and there will be no change.

The bookies seem to think that they will do well...

I rather suspect UKIP will poll more than 22% in the Bickering local election

Him having the IT spanners like


UKIP at 22% nationally, definite protest vote and imho shows the woeful inability of the gubberment front bench to actually communicate.  Could be self defeating for UKIP though.   In 2015 some are going to think they voted a UKIP councillor in in 2013 and still nuffin changed

I think this is seen as a stepping stone for the MEP elections before 2015....

I hope they do well...

The very worst that could happen from a large result from UKIP is having Camermong kicked out and some gibberment policies revised....

The UK Independence Party have made early gains as the results of council elections across England are declared.

UKIP have won at least 26 seats so far and are averaging 26% of the vote in the wards where they are standing.

Polling expert Prof John Curtice said it was a "remarkable performance".

The Conservatives have lost control of Lincolnshire and Gloucestershire councils, but retained five others, while Labour made modest gains in the Midlands and the south of England.

Labour have also been celebrating victories in the parliamentary by-election in South Shields, where UKIP finished second and the Lib Dems were relegated to the seventh.

And Labour candidate Norma Redfearn defeated the Conservative incumbent Linda Arkley in the North Tyneside mayoral contest.
