UKIP: Mission Complete, Where Now For Them?

Congratulations UK, you've shaken off the shackles of Brussels, you are now in charge of your destiny.

But what now for UKIP, whose sole purpose was to extricate ourselves from Brussels?

Well I predict that you've not seen the last of Nigel Farage. The thing is, there is a democratic deficit in Westminster, by which I mean not one of the leaders of the main parties gave voice to the will of the majority of the UK. Much is being said this morning that Jeremy Corbyn would be the best leader.... how exactly?

A man that talked against the EU on the back benches but then switched allegiances when in leadership.

I predict that UKIP will now rebrand as the UK Peoples Party and start to challenge the Westminster status Quo.

We'll see.

Vote Stealing Going on??

I've just had a message off a friend, she went to vote with her husband and whilst her husband was able to vote, she couldn't because someone (not her) had registered a postal vote on her behalf.

It would be interesting to hear from anyone else that has had a postal vote registered in their name when it wasn't them.

In cases like these I recommend contacting the local returning officer and lodging a complaint.

See if you can get details of the person registering that vote, especially if you can get the address the postal vote was registered at.

If you can get the postal vote from them (if it is still there and someone hasn't used your vote illegally) get it down to your local polling station as they can accept postal votes sealed in the envelope on the day as well, they just get counted separately.

Today is D-Day.

Well, this morning on the way to work I went out and Voted.

Anyone that reads this blog will know the way I voted.

All I can say is fingers crossed for a good result today and maybe I'll be getting an early night so I can get up early in the morning and see the results first-hand.

I do think things will be close, so the results will probably go all the way to the wire. It will be interesting how close it is and if any recounts slow down the reporting process.

What a dilemma: do I stay up for the first batch of results to come in around midnight/1am or do I go to be before the first delcarations and watch the end of it.....

Whatever the outcome, the events of the next few days will be very interesting from a political point of view. I also know that I voted in good conscience the way I believe we should all vote, the way that will be good for the UK and ultimately the EU.

If it is as close as the polls say, then get out and vote, every one counts.
