UKIP narrowly miss by-election win in Amersham

UKIP had another encouraging result yesterday in a by-election in Amersham, Bucks.

This is the first time UKIP have stood in this ward and the results speak for themselves:

Lib Dem286(30%)
Conservative282(29%)
UKIP252(27%)
Labour127(13%)

If it wasn't for the Tories splitting the UKIP vote, Michael Hurley would have won the election quite convincingly.

I don't think we should complain about the tories "splitting the UKIP vote". This implies the sort of belief that parties are entitled to expect a clear runh. This is the sort of attitude we expect & often get from the old parties& it doesn't become any less arrogant if we copy them.

We did well but not quite well enough this time. The trend is clearly towards us. That is good enough and requires nom padding.
