A year is a long time in politics.

Only 33% of the electorate bothered to go and vote. It is usually higher in a general election because people feel it is more important. Therefore, only the more dedicated voter makes the effort in European and local councils, which means the fringe parties get the protest vote. It very often happens and is no indication of what will happen next year.

The question is, which of Labour and the Tories will be able to woo the UKIP vote back.
Whoever does the better job will probably win the election.

There were only 161 local council elections , not the whole country. There are vast swathes of the country where the electorate only voted in the European elections. The opinion polls have all suggested the LibDems will finish in 5th place behind the Greens on Sunday and could end up with no MEPs.

The BBC's projected national share of the vote suggests UKIP would have scored 17% in a Britain-wide election.
Labour would have got 31% of the vote, ahead of Conservatives on 29% with the Liberal Democrats on 13%.
Becoming the third party in the UK is hardly tinpot. Especially when they have said all along they wanted the EU election success as their bullseye.
Honestly this hatred for that party is making me CHEER THEM ON and I voted GREEN.

Or it could be a case of which party haemorrhages even more votes to UKIP , whoever controls the bleeding will probably win the election.

My worst nightmare is a Tory/UKIP coalition after the next election, goodbye NHS, goodbye social benefits, goodbye any restraint on the worst excesses of a right wing xenophobic government

UKIP will not win a single seat at the next election.

Two or three is my guess.
60% of UKIP voters said up they also vote UKIP at the next election. Lots of votes, but as no PR, very, very few seats.
Who will the other 40% vote for? That will decode the election

Which seats do they realistically have any chance in?

The thing is you wouldn't be able to work out if a policy is originally a UKIP one or a Tory one

I hope you are right,but I can see them picking up a couple in Essex, and maybe one or two in somewhere like the Lancashire mill towns, they are much more organised than their BNP antecedents
