UKIPers should be jubilant and LibDems extremely jittery in equal measures tonight - this YouGov poll shows UKIP in third place in London with 7%, while Nick Clegg's party are duking it out with the Green Party for fourth.
The trio of Livingston/Johnson/Paddick all over again was not ever going to inspire. In addition there are two huge differences between now and 2008: a) we're in the era of Coalition whereby the LibDems are now viewed as establishment poodles rather than a viable third party choice and b) that UKIP have seriously got wind behind their sails and are a Party that is in a more professional state than ever before.
Could the LibDems come 5th? Possibly. But one thing I'm more sure of - UKIP will have representation on the Greater London Assembly after May. Whoever the Mayor is, having UKIP GLAs could spice things up a bit. Just like Farage and Co. have done in the European Parliament.

Could just be margin of error... oh and the figures excludes "don't knows" but don't let that get in the way of a good story...

Read my article here:
If only Tories were not scared of Labour being reelected they would find if they care to read UKIP policies that UKIP are promoting simple old tory values that saw G B plc through many turbulent times.
To put it in a nutshell UKIP want England to be England and not some suberb of the E U run by Giod knows who of the Unelected
