Two members defected from the Conservatives in 2014 and held their seats for UKIP in by-elections. In the 2015 General Election one of them (Douglas Carswell) held his seat. He later resigned from UKIP following the Brexit vote and stood down as an MP ahead of the 2017 election. Ah ok; I must’ve been in ignorant bliss and wanting to believe Farage’s party has never won a seat |

Farage has never won a seat which may continue on 5th July!

Farage returning to the fray will undoubtedly make this a more unpleasant election to follow sadly.
To be honest I'm likely to not follow it as in depth as I otherwise would have if he's going to be turning up at leadership debates. |

The Lib Dem’s are seemingly just going into this election to try and stay in the headlines with these daily stunts aren’t they?

Yeah I don't like the Ed Davey stunts, reminds me too much of Boris on the zipwire.

I will be watching as I like a robust debate where they have no where to hide. One reason why its better to have some debates with only the 2 main contenders to be PM debating.
Couldnt find STV on my sky box lastnyt to watch the Scottish debate. |

Hate Farage but that's counter productive in gaining him stmaothy votes and just encourages abuse of politicians on all side.

I'm no Farage fan but it's just more publicity for him and I don't think throwing things at politicians is a good thing, regardless of who they are.
