UKIP @ 6%
Posted by Harry Aldridge on 11 6th, 2009 | 3 responses
Political Betting are reporting a poll by Angus Reid which shows UKIP up 1% to 6%.
The polling was carried out until yesterday (Thursday) evening and so should reflect the initial fallout of the Cameron announcement.
Hopefully the full tables will be published soon.

This is the second poll now that has shown this.
Cameron's inevtiable EU sell out is has a silver lining in that it may once and for all encourage a full debate on the UK relationship with the UK, but will also result in many voters switching to UKIP. It is important that UKIP capitalises on this and uses this period to up the PR ante. Town raids, leafleting and the like are the only way that we can sustain this increase in the opinion polls. People are fed up with the present political elite and feeling totally disenfranhcised with the whole process. UKIP could very well be about to change the political landscape.
With news that UKIP has increased it's rating in the opinion polls to 6%, there is a very real possiblity that the Tories will be deprived of an overall majority at the next election. If Nigel Farage and maybe one other can be elected as an MP as well, this leaves the even more tantalising prospect of the Tories asking UKIP to form some sort of coalition government. Clearly this would be dependent on UKIP demanding a referendum on our relationship with our European neighbours, but what a fascinating thought – can you imagine Nigel Farage as Minister of Europe or even Foreign Secretary? There is every chance that come May 2010 this could be reality. It is therefore critical that UKIP capitalises on their ever growing increase in popularity between now and May 2010. So go back to your constituencies and prepare for Government!
