Its the return of Independent Chaos! This should be updated slightly more regularly than the last one and will be slightly different. I hope you like it.
 
Having Mike Natrass not run in the 2014 EU election will raise the Ukip seats by 2, just thought I would lend a hand :eek:

Following the election, UKIP claimed that An Independence from Europe's intervention had cost it a seat in South West England. Had UKIP polled an additional 15,158 votes, it would have won a third seat in the region instead of the Green Party; UKIP claimed that the 23,169 votes polled by An Independence from Europe meant it missed out on this third seat.

Nadine Dorris expressed intrest in joining Ukip but Conservative laxation and Farage viewing her as toxic stopped that potential MP

Intrestingly maybe have Hannan join Ukip and defect from the COnservative party somtime after the EU elections

Also having Ribble valley have a by-election may be a good move

Man Farage looks like a smug gecko! :D

He has a reason to be smug, he is turning a three party state into a four horse race.
He may not make a "massive" dent in next years election; but he will make a dent.
Hope to see this tread grow.

Ooh! Another Brightonian doing a timeline about a minor party. I look forward to seeing this.

It would be nice to have some more details about how the election went, and how UKIP won. Will you be including prose? If so, how critical are you going to be about UKIP? I understand you may be a UKIP voter, but it would be nice to learn more about interior politics within the party.

I'm not sure that I will be doing prose as otherwise it takes me ages to finish my TLs.

Also,I'm not a UKIPer, I'm a loyal eurosceptic Tory. I just find UKIP fascinating.

Headline-photo-Headline is a real lacking way to write a timeline. There's no finesse here and it seems to me a timeline where a fringe party drags one of the big ones along with it would require some. Especially when so much in politics isn't decided in front of the cameras.
