55 isn't it? It's more so that if there was no conservative mp then snp would ***** and moan

it's 56 out of 59 (according to google) lol, we were only expected 58/59 after the polls

David Cameron has gone to see the Queen in Buckingham Palace for her to ask to form a government.

When you think about it, the next time a party leader goes to Buckingham Palace (5yrs) for such an event it might be to see the King......

But that revolution hasn't concluded yet: it concludes when we restore our sovereignty and independence.

It's bigger than Farage and it is bigger than Ukip. And it's neither right wing or left wing.

UKIP didnt come third nationally. The Tories, Labour, the Lib Dems, the SNP and the Greens all got more votes than UKIP. its funny that some people in the UKIP ranks are blaming FPTP - if we had proportional representation then neither the tories nor UKIP would ever win. it is just a fact that there are more left-wing people in the UK, which is presumably why you still support FPTP.

the UK wont leave the EU. we will have a referendum and the people will say yes. when that happens, will you cut?

how much constituencies did UKIP stand in? how much seats did they have a chance of winning? so they got 3million out of a possible what?

I'm not a UKIP supporter?

This is for a habbox competition, my party UHIP - a parody of UKIP lmao

Here's the election results (excluding the last seats) in terms of national vote share.

I *think* this is the first time the Liberals have been knocked into fourth place natonally.

@Okeanos; admit you are wrong hun. Ukip came third in national votes.

@buttons; Labour, Tories, Ukip and Liberal Demcrats stood in 600+ seats each with Greens in over 500 seats.

Despite Farage defeat & other failures, it's extraordinary achievement, as @LordAshcroft points out, that Ukip second in 118 seats so far

I know this won't be universally popular but I'd like to see @Nigel_Farage in the Lords...@UKIP has had 3m votes

I'm not entirely sure but they came out with less seats than they went in with, which is a pretty spectacular failure.
