I HAVE just watched the morning news and the report that Labour won the Heywood and Middletonby-election.
The clip went on to show the labour candidate ridiculing and dismissing the UKIP vote.
The facts were, of the total vote cast 28,417, Labour won 11, 633 and UKIP 11,016 — or a two per cent lead.
UKIP had a massive majority over the other parties, with the next party at 3,496.
The Labour candidate, in the news clip, stressed that UKIP was Tory painted a different colour.
UKIP has driven the debate, set the agenda and people are seeing and relating to what they say. people want change and UKIP are generating this.
This is me, normally a Conservative voter, but I don’t like bullying and people always sway to the underdog.
The other parties are handing UKIP power on a plate by their behaviour and attitude and arrogance. Any party would be stupid to dismiss UKIP.
