stray wrote: only have single seats in the local councils and really can't accomplish anything. The record they have in the local council seats that they've won in the past have been extremely poor, in fact their record for actually turning up to council meetings at all is pretty laughable
You're boradly right, but this time they did pick up a county council seat for the first time, in Lancashire

But, as you say, once in power they show themselves as incompetant and dimwitted. Their seat on the Greater London Authority is hilarious

I kind of hope they do win a Euroseat, but not Griffin. The prospect for it causing a real division in his fiefdom and ruining the party - as happened with the National Front - could do our work for us.
