I think Nick Griffin was bound to win because he's a well-known figure, but the Yorkshire seat...*shrug*

Where else are they going to go (Labour voters)? There is no alternative. The Liberal Democrats were formed because they disagreed with the Labour Party; they're only similar now because Labour have changed so much, Labour voters would never vote Conservative and they're not going to vote Lib Dems, because they're the same as Labour! It sounds ludicrous, I know, but I really do believe that this is the case. Intelligence doesn't factor into it; angry people aren't rational people or level-headed.
