Adam Trimingham over looks the fact that UKIP steal votes from Labour as well as the Conservatives. (The Argus November 12).

Although I too was surprised when Ed Miliband was elected over his elder brother David by the Labour Party.

Nationally both red and blue were wrong to dismiss UKIP as a mere fad. Perhaps the main parties will start to listen to local people.
