Ukip Nick Another One......

[Slapshot]

UKIP, that party that was never going to have any seats in Parliament now has two.... who's worrying more.... Dave or Millibland??

As for Cleggy.... less than 1% of the vote.... he should be embarrased to call himself a serious politician... they better hope there's no more
The result..

Mark Reckless (UKIP) 16,867 (42.10%)
Kelly Tolhurst (C) 13,947 (34.81%, -14.39%)
Naushabah Khan (Lab) 6,713 (16.76%, -11.70%)
Clive Gregory (Green) 1,692 (4.22%, +2.69%)
Geoff Juby (LD) 349 (0.87%, -15.39%)
Hairy Knorm Davidson (Loony) 151 (0.38%)
Stephen Goldsbrough (Ind) 69 (0.17%)
Nick Long (PBP) 69 (0.17%)
Jayda Fransen (Britain 1st) 56 (0.14%)
Mike Barker (Ind) 54 (0.13%)
Charlotte Rose (Ind) 43 (0.11%)
Dave Osborn (Pat Soc) 33 (0.08%)
Christopher Challis (Ind) 22 (0.05%)

I watched the results coming in Slappy. The LIMPs, as predicted, are rapidly fading into the history books. Aww shame ...

[BlackadderV]

Nice one, Nigel!
Nice one, son!
Nice one, Nigel!
Let's have another one!


Very respectable showing for Dave, though. As for hapless Nick, oh dear!

[Svejk]

Brilliant result for Labour. (mikey will be along to tell us later. ;-))

[janbee]

It'll be interesting to see how many more MPs from ALL parties now defect to UKIP. I certainly hope so.

[BlackadderV]

Tory plus UKIP, 76.91%. That will gladden mikey's heart.

[BlackadderV]

Doesn't look as though muesli, lentils and knitted yoghurt are the staple diet of the good burghers of Rochester.

[janbee]

Will the LIMP s now lose their deposit?,,, again?

[janbee]

blackie, how did you know what I eat?

[BlackadderV]

Less than 5% means a lost deposit, so yes, the Libs are £500 poorer today.

[janbee]

Aaww shame eh, blackie? Consigned to the history books, I hope forever.

[BlackadderV]

Not as stunning a victory as Clacton, though. Wouldn't surprise me if the Tories regained the seat come May.

[janbee]

Oh no, don't say that. I hope not.

[Slapshot]

Would have been a real giggle if the Limps had polled even fewer than Charlotte Rose..... the headlines would have been great

[janbee]

Funny, I thought of that too.

[janbee]

Nick who?

[Svejk]

Lol.

I think the person who deserves a mention is the Rochester sweet shop owner, who predicted a UKIP win, but by nothing like the margin many were predicting. And he was dead right. Get that man n the BBC election night team with his bulls eyes.
However, it's the little things that interest me:
And I can't help noticing that Hairy Knorm of the MRLP trounced the BNP candidate Fransen by nearly a hundred votes in admittedly a low-scoring contest :-)
So much for Facebook being the new MORI :-)

As I said above, a very respectable result for Dave. Nothing like the triumph Nige was expecting.
