Ukip heading for majority of around 2,500 in #RochesterandStrood, some sources suggest - Tories privately admitting defeat

1. Gag me with a full place setting

for those of you just joining us, UKIP (UK Independence Party) is the UK version of the Tea Party (even more racist, if you can believe it ), but in a parliamentary system, they get to have their own party instead of being a faction of the Tories like the teabaggers are of the repukes. Whoopee!

5. Well summarised n/t

2. Interesting sidebar...

Hahahaha! There's an independent candidate in #RochesterandStrood, who is apparently a dominatrix, that is ahead of the LibDem in the voting

3. ...and Lib Dems apparently also running behind Monster Raving Loony Party

6. That's not a surprise

Clegg betrayed all LibDem voters (including me, something I bitterly regret now) by selling out to teh Tories for proximity (because their influence is non-existent) to power. The party getting decimated was an obvious reward for that.

4. Fuck-a-doodle-doo

That's all this fucking country needs, more of these nutters.

7. My condolences to the UK. Just the thought of a British Ted Cruz running around over there

makes me physically ill.
