A blog by Luke Akehurst about politics, elections, and the Labour Party - With subtitles for the Hard of Left. Just for the record: all the views expressed here are entirely personal and do not necessarily represent the positions of any organisations I am a member of.
In the comments on my post below people have questioned my assertion that Bob Spink's defection to UKIP could turn Castle Point into a 3-way marginal.

Indeed. You could (I'm afraid) easily see BNP votes going to UKIP which, on those figures, would put UKIP ahead. Equally, UKIP'd probably mop up the English Democrats vote and Martin Bell was a wild card.

The BNP will probably double 2004 numbers.
