Not really. The Liberals have always existed since the rise of the Labour Party in some form or other as a third party force, as the continued Liberals from 1945, as the SDP-Liberal Alliance in the 1980s and as the Liberal Democrats from the 1990s. Especially in I think Devon and Cornwall, they never ever fell to the Labour movement in the 1900s which allowed the Liberals to hang on in those areas.

The yellows have never really been insurgents, they've come and gone over the decades but never disappeared. The rise of Ukip, if it continues, is similar more towards the rise of the Labour Party or Canadian Reform Party.

Undertaker, how will you react if Labour beat UKIP in the EU polls? I have to ask now, because I don't think I'll be finding out on Sunday.

That could well happen, nothing is for certain.

I'll be disappointed of course if we don't top the polls, it would've provided nice momentum for us going into the Newark by-election but at the end of the day aslong as we get a team of MEPs (which will form the 'new' Ukip) then i'll be happy. It's all about trying to break into the House of Commons over the next year which is the ultimate goal.

But whatever the results good or bad, we're not going away. :P

How will you react if the Greens somehow beat UKIP in the EU polls?

eye dunt vote 4 rasists sorri

Rather the Greens than one of the three cartel parties.

There's a lot of "how do the main parties respond to Ukip?" in the papers, and this nailed it...

Here's some free tips: LibLabCon - take note:

First, get a time machine. Go back to when you were about 15. Tell yourself not to go straight to Oxbridge, not to do PPE, not to work as an MP's researcher straight from uni, not to spend every waking hour climbing the greasy pole, but instead to have a normal life. Get a real job, in the real world. Raise kids. Have a career. Learn something about yourself, and people. Stand on your own two feet, making your own mind up about ideals, issues, politics. Then, one day, think, I'm sick of this crap, I'm going to go to Westminster and sort them out.

That.

Do that, and you will be where every Kipper is today.

Learning how much a pint of milk costs and pretending to like a football team will not do it. You can fake sincerity, but you cannot fake a life.

A Man From Walsall Explains Why He Voted For UKIP

And it's this sneering attitude at people like that man who speak like normal people rather than slime-ridden two faced politicians which is why Ukip are picking up seats. The man doesn't speak like a politician because he isn't one, and he gets a few names wrong (we're not all political geeks out there y'know): yet all my friend today for example could do was sneer at him as though he was on the uneducated orders and his genuine concerns didn't count for anything.

There's genuine concerns over mass immigration from working class people, and yet all the London-centric commentariat and observers in the main three cartel parties can do is sneer at them in the most arrogant way.
