Not at all Joe, this was predicted because voting UKIP was certainly not a vote for Labour - but it had the effect of taking votes off the Conservatives enabling Labour to win by default.

Won't last, people will calm down over UKIP - it's given both parties a bloody nose and the next 12 months will be a good battle.

Very poor turn out too.

I'm sure next year will be a bigger turnout, but none of us can deny UKIP have redrawn the battlefield - gonna be interesting to say the least.

My hope is Milliband stays as leader
