Now that Farage has gone,Reckless ejected and the fact that the Tories have shot the UKIP fox by offering a referendum, not withstanding the large number of votes that they have garnered in the country,does this election result mark the start of a terminal decline for UKIP as a major force in British politics?

If we vote to leave the EU in the referendum and immigration is massively reduced as a result, then UKIP would lose their point of difference from the Conservatives, wouldn't they?

Would immigration or the EU constraints/referendum have become fully discussed and an open topic without UKIP ? I doubt it. So all in all they have been helpful in getting the establishment to acknowledge the publics interest in these matters and UKIP can then develop other main stream concerns. We will have to see exactly how the referendum is worded before passing judgement, I think. Meanwhile watch what happens to our benefits for non subscribers and NHS assistance pans out. The last government could have sorted that in the last 5 years but didn't, so who is to say they will this time round. Manifesto promises aren't always carried out as we well know, by any party.

There is always a need for a place for bitter and badly-educated middle aged men to gather and moan about the 'ethnics having the whip hand' so while Ukip may fade into oblivion you can guarantee another saloon bar party will rise.
