Conservatives come in 3rd place in election


Nigel Farage's UKIP kicked the ass of the out of touch and
increasingly socialist UK Conservative Party.

A Conservative Party Defeat
  • The so-called UK "Conservative" Party adopts open borders and Big Government.
  • Right of center voters flee to the UKIP forcing the Conservatives into 3rd place in a special election.


David Cameron has insisted the Tories can "win people back" after a disastrous result in the Eastleigh by-election saw the party beaten into third by UKIP.

The Prime Minister attempted to shrug off the severe blow by calling a huge surge in support for the eurosceptic party a mid-term "protest".


"It's disappointing for the Conservative Party but we must remain true to our principles, true to our course, and that way we can win people back," he said.

But the terrible result in a constituency which is among the Conservatives' top targets to win back from the Lib Dems will increase fears of defeat in 2015.

Lib Dem local councillor Mike Thornton managed to hold the seat vacated by disgraced Cabinet minister Chris Huhne despite a torrid week for his party.

Nick Clegg said the "stunning" result proved "we can be a party of government and still win".

"We held our nerve, we stood our ground. We overcame the odds and won a stunning victory," he said, standing alongside Mr Thornton in the constituency.

The Conservatives' third place, which was despite major campaigning by senior figures, will increase tensions on the backbenches and at the grass roots.

There will be concern that Mr Cameron's pledge to hold a referendum on EU membership if the Tories stay in power has not curbed UKIP's rise.

Nigel Farage on beating the Conservatives and Labour in Eastleigh




A Special Message to Americans.
Do not be confused.  This is called a free election with many real political parties to choose from.  Have no fear.  These uncomfortable feelings you have will soon pass and you will return to the calcified, corrupt and fixed two-party American election system.
