Across the pond

I have not changed my view that there is no scientific or academic analysis of  the result which can translate it into what would have happened had a British General Election last Thursday.  Because, the number who voted was half the number who vote in general elections.

There is no evidence yet available of what the stay at homes would have done.

But the result is so devastating for Labour that it demands a journalistic comment.

The mainstream media has focussed on the BNP who got 6 per cent of the votes and 2 seats.

Their headlines showed tha UKIP with 17 per cent (11 seats) had pushed Labour (16 per cent) into third place. Britain’s third established political party, the Lib Dems, was fourth  with 14 per cent.

These astonishing results cry out for explanation.
