Even more evidence that the real UKIP story was so 2013… They’ve gone backwards on PNS but you wouldn’t know it. Add in the Ashcroft data about their future intentions and half already planning to vote for a main party at GE.

My whine about the coverage is for accuracy and for people like the BBC and national media to use its own data properly. Some of us have to understand the political landscape and it’s implications for policy for a living and we do take all intelligence we can find and make a much more measured estimate. Although I should be happy when my predictions about what will happen in 2015 are far more accurate than the national pundits!
