The UK's eurosceptic UK Independence Party (Ukip) will win a majority of votes in the European Parliament election in May, according to a new ComRes poll.

The opinion poll, commissioned by the Independent on Sunday and the Sunday Mirror, puts Ukip in the lead with 30%, two points ahead of Labour, which is on 28%.

The Conservative Party is in third place with 21%, followed by the Liberal Democrats on 8% and the Green Party on 6%.

A victory for Nigel Farage's Ukip Party, which currently has no seats in the UK House of Commons, could mean that the party doubles the 13 seats it won in Brussels in 2009.

The ComRes poll also found that Labour's poll lead for the 2015 UK general election has fallen by 2-3 points, but it is still in the lead at 35%.

Prime Minister David Cameron's Conservative Party is in second place at 32%, followed by Ukip at 16% and the Liberal Democrats at 9%.

Almost one in four respondents (23%) said they expect Ed Miliband to become the next prime minister after the election – up two points since December.

More than one in three (39%) said they think Miliband will not win the election (down one point), while 37% said they do not know.

The poll reveals that trust in the government's ability to improve the economy is growing, with the level of confidence in David Cameron and Chancellor George Osborne's abilities to make the right economic decisions at 31% - the highest level in two and a half years.

A recent study published in a new book, Revolt on the Right, found that almost one third of voters in Britain would consider voting for Ukip in a General Election.

The book, written by Dr Robert Ford at Manchester University and Nottingham University's Dr Matthew Goodwin, found that 30% of British voters identify with two of the three key drivers of Ukip's popularity: euroscepticism, hostility to mass immigration and disillusionment with mainstream politics.

Fingers crossed.

It's also delightful news that potentially the Liberal Democrats could come behind the Greens and lose all of their seats. (h)

Thoughts? I won't post a poll just yet for voting intentions as we're still in March, but who are you leaning towards?

Early days. I can't be bothered getting involved with these articles as they're just fuelling unnecessary anticipation and the polls vary too often and circumstances may change between now and the vote. I'm voting UKIP just because they're hilarious and provide a good voice, assuming they turn up (although other parties are just as bad).

So what does that mean? Like I would read teh article but it probs doesn't even answer my question.

Is that women person going to be like prime minister or something?

Which woman?

These elections in May are for both the European Elections (where we get to choose who represents us in the pointless toy EU 'parliament') and on the same day Local Elections take place for English councils.

Then a year later almost exactly we'll be having the General Election for the British Government & PM.
