Insult to UKIP.
In due course, Lib Dems who lost council seats last week, because of their and their party’s dishonesty and ineptitude, will be appointed to the House of Lords.Why, when UKIP — a party that has three times as much support — isn’t offered any life peerages? Eating humble pie last week, the PM said Tories should respect those who voted UKIP.
Shouldn’t this respect extend to giving a party with more than 150 council seats and 11 MEPs a fair representation in the upper house? Simon Heffer.
