Default The 20 blackspots for toxic air in London

Sooner or later, Ukip are going to wake up and realise that they
can win the Mayoral election if they come out and state boldly
that the current policies are idiotic. I'm surprised it hasn't yet
dawned on them that they ought to campaign on behalf of motorists.


The mayoral election is this week, and the UKIP candidate will be lucky to

get 10% of the first preference votes. There probably won't be a UKIP by
the time of the next mayoral election. After the June referendum,
regardless of the result, what will be its point?


If Leave wins, since Leave haven't defined what Leave means there will be a
two+ year row about whether (say) the "Like Switzerland" option is
satisfactory followed by maybe another referendum with a split UKIP and
resulting in no majority for any /one/ of the options offered. (Compare the
poster here who voted to keep First Past the Post because he wanted
something beyond the Alternate Vote).

If Remain wins, the UKIP, henceforth the **** party, will carry on,
collecting MEP expenses and telling supporters they were robbed.
