UKIP to the fore With a terrible choice of leadership candidates for the Conservatives ahead, I foresee the rise of UKIP shortly. You can forget the Labour party for many reasons; they are a misogynistic party, and in all thier history, they have never had a female leader. In a world against terrorism , they staunchly support several terrorist factions. Since the late '60s, the party has been holding onto the seats it gained in a landslide victory in the years after the 1929 General Strike; in each election, they lose more voters as they drift further from their roots. A sign of the times came in the last election when four previously hard-core Labour seats turned to Conservative. What cost Labour, so many votes is their staunch pro-EU stance when over 70% of the UK is in favour of Brexit . Another factor is their wish to increase immigration when the UK is already burdened with an extended immigrant population and few jobs.
