The blog post at the Guardian UK (Andrew Sparrow) is suggesting that the UKIP majority (actually a pluralty in most cases but UKIP should go over 50% here!) might exceed 10,000 votes!
Assuming the figures we are getting from Labour sources for Clacton are correct -and it is only an assumption; they have not been backed up by other parties – Ukip is heading for a majority of around 12,000.
You would expect the rough totals to be:
Ukip – 20,900
Conservatives – 8,800
Labour – 4,200
I’ve taken the 25% figure for the Tories, and the 59% figure for Ukip, to be conservative, and rounded the figures up or down to the nearest 100.
Could be exciting news!
