The point wasn't that he attended it, but that he felt that it was the right thing to do and the best use of his time, just before polling day, and with all the anti-Semitism rows going on in the Labour party. |

I used the term "wake up" because it is obvious the UKIP candidate simply does not understand what London politics is about. Well, he managed to come third... of the no-hoper candidates. In other words, *fifth*, beaten by both the Green and LD candidates, and of course very far behind the two serious candidates. At least he managed to beat the Women's Equality Party and George Galloway. |

Given that any immigrant from the EU who's rocked up long enough to register can vote in local elections its hardly surprising Ukip didn't do well. Turkeys don't generally vote for xmas. Quite why immigrant should get to get a vote on who runs our capital city is another question entirely. -- Spud |
