UKIP becomes a force to be reckoned with
RICHARD Grant writes in his letter dated May 18 that “UKIP are now in meltdown”. Nothing could be further from the truth.
In the 2010 General Election we polled a million votes, some 3 per cent of the vote. Then this year we got 3.9 million votes, some 13 per cent.
How can Mr Grant say we are dissolving? He knows with first-past-the-post system it does not convert votes to seats.
I would say the party he so enthusiastically supports is disappearing into the ethers!
