The frightful cost of Farage
Not the reported seventy five thousand pounds spent by UKIP on the Bromley by election, but the opportunity to capitalise in votes on the deep disdain for the two main poltical parties as commented upon by this article from this morning's Independent linked from here.
Hopefully UKIPmembers will reflect on this disaster during the coming UKIP leadership campaign.
The full results of this lost opportunity, taken from the article, were as follows:
