It is in all parties, we had Charles Kennedy on uestion time last night saying he didn't vote for the Lib Dems joining this Coalition, David Cameron has really massive problems with this Rochester by election because the fear is,if he loses it badly to an MP who only entered the Commons in 2010,it could trigger greater dissent in more of his MPs.
This may yet, not be the last by election of this Parliament if some Conservative MPs feel they can safely hold onto their seats on a UKIP ticket as Carswell and Reckless will have.
UKIP are on the rise,no doubt at all as to that and the more they rise, the more David Cameron also becomes isolated.
Labour's problem is presentation, Ed Miliband need to look at 2 years ago, when he was etting the agenda on the bedroom tax and the energy price freeze.
He has allowed himself to become a little complacent,Labour also need to push more to the front the real strong players in their team. Such as Chukka Ummunah, Andy Burnham, Yvette Cooper, Rachel Reeves to name just 4.
Get the presentation right, stress it more and more and the masage is a far more hopeful one and in my view,better one than the Govt, currently has.
The thing is, the 2 main 'old' parties are both running scared of UKIP,I still believe UKIP will hit both but the Conservatives more,however I do really wish Ed Miliband would also offer an EU referendum, that would halt the backbench worries and take the heat out of the EU debate too.
It is that Ed Miliband is seen to be lot listening to those backbenchers that is helping cause this unrest.
I think he has the right ideas and will be compassionate and strong where that needs to be done but he does have to wake up to this and get his presentation for the campaign ready and presented more confidently.
The 2015 election is starting to look,with all 3 main parties at a loss as to UKIP,as if it will be a really poor show all the way through if all this keeps up from all of them.
