Looks like Ukip have taken a battering in the locals - as well as Labour.
I think myself a tactical voter. A few years back I voted Lib dems because I wanted a coalition government, next I voted Ukip because I wanted to press for a referendum and send a message to that effect, didn't want a ukip gov but just use it as a pointer to the current gov.
So I got a coalition gov
I got the referendum
I voted out
I got out
And now Conservatives have just about hijacked all of ukips policies and so no one now needs to vote for them (ukip ), as is shown in the locals.
Obviously I didnt do it single handedly but maybe I was not alone in using my vote this way.
Mrs May with a strong UK backing will be able to get the best brexit possible, you can not go into negations weak and divided as the euros will sh#t all over us. The only problem is that the Conservatives will also use the landslide victory as an excuse to say that have a mandate for all kind of extra cuts and tax rises.
