I did wonder during the early hours last night about those who 'backed the wrong horse'?
.
"The Conservatives have lost a seat there with the defeat of Marta Andreasen, a former UKIP MEP who defected last year."
.
Former UKIP MEP Nikki Sinclaire, who left the party to stand in the 2014 Euro elections for the We Demand a Referendum Now Party, has conceded defeat in her bid for re-election. In a statement, Ms Sinclaire said: "My employers have spoken, and it would seem I have been unsuccessful in my attempt to be re-elected as an MEP for the West Midlands region."
.
The song "Who's sorry now?" springs to mind.

Yes this was a fantastic night British Patriots. Well done UKIP.
The votes are not all counted yet. But UKIP are on 23 MEPs and 28%.
This was an earthquake. The Purple Peril is on the march. Come and join the peoples army.

LibDems are the part of IN
But the voters think they are the party of OUT
And voted most of them OUT.
LibDems now have only one MEP.
