Or he could have said 'ecological fallacy', which says all of that in two words. It's not that much of an imposition to look up terms you aren't familiar with is it?

Well, we've managed to cover it all ways now.
Anyways, the psephological point being made seems to me to be significant and, potentially, makes the Farage announcement quite an important moment in the early campaign.

Speaking of UKIP, I wonder what those crypto-fascists and sex offenders are going to do this election under the leadership of Dick Braine? I wonder if they'll stand any candidates or if they'd rather lose money in other ways.

Braine resigned last week, I don't think they're doing anything much.

Hasn't Dick Brain just jacked it in?
Keeping track of the UKIP leader is pretty tricky - and probably not worth it tbf.
ETA: Ah dammit. Shouldn't have gone for the showy second line.

Ah yes, on Wednesday apparently.

Well that's quite a few of us here down as PFMC, then!
I have my doubts that those 5m actually want BP MPs.

I doubt the BPs vetting process will be any better than UKIP's, so a good few dv cases, a solid phalanx of facebook racists along with a smattering of Paul Nuttall level weirdos and fantasists.
They claim there's a rigorous vetting process - the candidates have all stumped up a fair wedge of cash to pay for it in fact...

Which is an interesting point; makes you wonder if there were legal consequences to any strategy that might have involved significant numbers of BP PPCs being told to stand down?
I don't think they've been stood up yet in most (any?) cases, so I doubt it.

No, the official nomination deadline is still someway off, but I was speculating about their internal processes and considerations...particularly as they seem to operate like a business. Wouldn't mind betting that their lawyers had something to say about the prospect of standing down folk who'd already paid handsomely and 'entered into a contract' with the business.

They haven't paid handsomely for a guaranteed seat to run in though - only to be considered.

Best you'll get on a hung parliament is 11/10, and most bookies not even that. I got 9/2 on a Tory minority govt this morning though.
Since Farage's announcement I was tempted by Labour as largest party, but since Farage's announcement that's gone from 7/1 to 5/1.

Bow to your greater knowledge on the matter; probably best to disregard my speculation.
CBA going to look but there was some consternation when they announced the fee for prospective MPs that anyone paying was doing so with no guarantee of seeing any kind of return.

The MEPs were a lot saner than past UKIP fruit loops (not saying much) but there's going to be a lot more MPs than those so we'll have exciting reveals to look forward to.

And then not mention brexit at all in your campaign. Just run on a hyper local issue like maintenance of the trees on Grove Avenue.
