(not satire – it’s the Tories!)
A by-election was held for the Chadsmead ward of Lichfield District Council yesterday following the disqualification of Conservative Cllr Mike Fryers (for not attending any council meetings for six months!)
The Tories dropped to last place after their vote was split by a UKIP candidate:

Looks like this might be a good time for the Tories to start panicking.

It looks like the lib sums got part of the votes from the tories and labour and ukip got the rest, it is more a case of telling the tories that the people are not happy with their policies and also you have to consider that Lichfield people use Stafford Hospital which the tories have happily lied about in an attempt to shut it down to pay off the horrendous costs of the PFI hospital in Stoke.

OK, let’s start playing with statistics and use them against the Tories?
Lib Dems 206 votes (36.0%) +4.8%
Labour 157 votes(27.4%) -1.6%
UKIP 108 votes(18.8%) +18.8%
Cons 102 votes(17.8%) -22.0%
Now, considering the 2011 election:
Conservative 416 39.8%
Conservative 385
Lib Dems 326 31.2%
Labour 303 29.0%
Labour 278
Lib Dems 206
The leading Lib Dem candidate in 2011 was the same person as the winner this time and got exactly the same number of votes as her running mate got in 2011!
So the truth is:
The Lib Dem vote went DOWN by two fifths!
The Labour vote was cut to a fifth of the last vote
The Cons vote was slashed to an eighth!
BUT
UKIP Vote went up 100%!
So it is not time for the Conservatives to worry, it’s time for us all to worry that people are going to get a LOCAL election confused with NATIONAL politics.

Anthony Turtle you do realise that at the last election people were electing more than one candidate? (If, as I understand it, there were two candidates to be elected in 2011 that would mean that each person who voted then had two votes.) That means that in the 2014 election when only one candidate was being selected the same number of voters would have half the number of votes. That makes all your stats meaningless unless multiplied by 2, which would be necessary to find out if there had been a decline in the number of voters. (There was, but it was less dramatic than your figures suggest.)
Incidentally, if there was no UKIP candidate in the 2011 election, the UKIP vote has increased infinitely, not just by 100%. I can’t work out whether you claimed it had gone up by 100% because your mathematics is unequal to division by zero, or because you believe the average UKIP voter is too thick to realise that an infinite increase is much bigger than a 100% one.

What do you think “eussr” means?
To answer your question – I feel quite sure that the three “old fashioned” parties (as you call them) will not change their current manifestos very much at all. I may be wrong, but time will tell.
I answered your question, which you thought I would not, so let’s see whether you will answer mine…

If you get your wish of a UKIP government, then you’re going to get a lot of things you don’t want! If about the only thing you DO want is to get out of the EU, then you should probably vote Tory and (theroretically) you will get a referendum on it.

P.S. You said “you haven’t asked whether I am a UKIP supporter so I have nothing to answer”. So in your mind does “are you a UKIP supporter or not?” not count as a question? It looks quite a lot like one to me… it’s got a question mark and everything!

P.P.S. When you say “the socialist dominated democratically deficient non nation governed by a bunch of UNELECTED failed politicians in brussells”, are you including the 9 elected UKIP MEPs from that description? If so, can you spot your crucial and very obvious mistake?
P.P.P.S. It’s called “Brussels”, not “brussells”.

By the way, what do you think of a party leader who didn’t even read his own party’s manifesto? Do you think he would make a good Prime Minister? I bet you don’t answer that question…

I couldn’t care less who you support, it is irrelevant to me.
Anyone who agrees with everything their party is doing is a braindead sheep
Voting tory is a sure way of staying in the eussr
The parliament has no real power, it resides in the unelected commission.
Well he did read it, and rejected it after reading it because he didn’t like what was there, to me the ability to take decisions, rather than faff about is the sign of a good leader/manager.

You don’t think perhaps Farage should have read it BEFORE writing the foreword and agreeing to publish it? If that’s what you think “a good leader/manager” should do, then you are clearly the moron that I now know you are!
Of course almost nobody agrees with everything ‘their party’ is doing, but agreeing with just ONE thing and disagreeing with EVERYTHING else doesn’t seem very rational to me. Do you consider yourself to be a rational person?

Ah personal abuse the last gasp of a person with no cogent argument, I have no idea if he would make a good Prime minister, no one really knows what the outcome will be until they see them in action, we have seen many examples of a good opposition leader not making a good prime minister. I do know that camoron is a total failure in the job, I doubt clegg could cope, and I have always considered labour to have chosen the wrong milliband, but until we see how they manage we can only guess.
I don’t disagree with everything you chose 5 areas and I responded to them. I have had huge rows with Americans over gun laws being to lax in America and I am not going to change my view on that just because it would be the easy thing to do. I have my own views and stick to them, so far no single party has been perfect for me.

I may use cogent arguments AND personal criticism, whichever seems appropriate to the person! I respect anyone who has opinions and can justify them, no matter what those opinions are.
You say you don’t disagree with everything. Other than leaving the EU, can you think of any policy the UKIP leadership has proposed which you DO agree with? If you can come up with three other published policies which you are willing to justify then I will apologise and stop taking the p*ss for supporting UKIP.
If Labour had chosen the other Milliband, would you be supporting Labour now?

As you consider personal abuse to be an argument in your favour and have offered no docent arguments to support your uninformed rantings i think it is a waste of time continuing answering anything you say, maybe if you learned to think first before posting you would not show yourself in such a poor light. No I wouldn’t vote for labour, despite the extremely good performances by Andy Burnham in the health field.

No, I didn’t say I consider personal abuse to be an argument. I said I may use cogent arguments AND personal criticism. Perhaps you should occasionally try to read what people ACTUALLY say.
You are apparently unable to think of three other published UKIP policies which you are willing to justify, so I will probably continue to take the p*ss out of your inability to justify your opinions.
How about just two UKIP policies… can you manage that?

P.S. Andy Burnham didn’t do much to help the health of the 100,000+ Iraqis who died in the war which HE started, and the countless more who were maimed and traumatised.
