UKIP
is confident Labour's setbacks have created an opportunity in the neighbouring
seats of Rother Valley and Wentworth and Dearne.
The
party also feels its policy pledge to reduce the immigration of cheap foreign
labour from new European Union member states is striking a chord.
If
UKIP is to take these seats its candidates will have to overturn some relatively
robust Labour majorities - 5,218 in Rotherham, 5,866 in Rother Valley and 13,920
in Wentworth and Dearne.
However
UKIP points out that at the recent European elections it matched, and in some
cases overtook, the Labour vote in many parts of South Yorkshire. BBC.
