Batten Claims 'Good News' For Ukip.

There is also some good news in this election.

A preliminary estimate of sixteen councils shows UKIP achieved an average of 7.5% of the vote.

When all the results are known we hope to have achieved an average of between 5% to 7% of the vote (across the seats we contested).

If you recall, in the General Election of 2017 UKIP had sunk to just 1.8% of the vote overall or approximately 3% across the seats where we stood (378).
