UKIP membership approaches 40k

UKIP's membership has hit another record with membership standing at 39,147 this weekend.

The party is hopeful of breaking through the 40,000 barrier before conference in Doncaster in September.

Young Independence has also seen an increase in its membership which has broken through the 2,500 mark.

The Lib Dems currently have around 44,000 members so it looks like UKIP will be beating them on number of members as well as elections.
