UKIP maintaining lead over Lib Dems in second YouGov poll

YouGov have UKIP on 9% and in third place again tonight.

The "regional" breakdown is much the same as yesterday although support in the north is down slightly and support in Scotland is up slightly.

YouGov is still only mentioning the LibLabCon in its headlines and lumping UKIP in with the "other" parties despite half of the voting intention for the "other" parties being for UKIP.

To keep the union intact we need a single parliament. The EU has done a tremendous job with the old technique of divide and conquer. What we *do* need however is more powers devolved to local MPs in the form of regional taxation for example, relying on the competition of other regions to settle on a broad consensus of minimal tax fluctuations, thus reducing the overall amount local government can raise in taxes as market forces strangle the methods of taxation that can be employed to raise revenue by stealth.

Central government is needed for things like HM Armed Forces, but much of what is gone at that lvele could either be scrapped or performed at the local level.

We need a central focal point to British politics, without that how can there be a United Kingdom of land sharing countries (statement excludes N.I.)

Having a single parliament would mean abolishing the Scottish Parliament which would lead to Scotland declaring independence, the Welsh Assembly which you might get away with if it wasn't for the Scots declaring independence and the Northern Irish Assembly which would break the St Andrews Agreement that stopped the IRA from blowing people up. End of the union and a return to terrorism in NI.
