To true. Very confusing, to those easily confused. What makes matters worse is that the top entry on the ballot reads "An Independence from Europe" with an EU flag that has been crossed through. Now I'm fairly sure that most people know about UKIP and those who wish to vote for them can do so in the alphabetically ordered list in the lowest position. But for those not fully "compost-mental" then this will wick away vital votes and depress the UKIP vote.
Big question is (beyond the little know mad folk down at the English Democrats). Who put up these other mavericks?
I think the Tories themselves have most to gain in acting to depress the UKIP vote.
Crafty.
Thing I don't get is that 'when' Scotland gets Indy, the Tories will be unchallenged for a gazillion years unless all the Labour voters defect to UKIP (unlikely).
The Tories should be backing Scotlands Indy bid (under the radar of course).
For the record, Liberals don't count. Not even a proper party.
