Really, the party with one UK MP, and he is a rebel
They will be an irrelevance in two years....I see some are jumping to the Tories already.
Mind you, David Cockburn is building a big following in Scotland. [On the comedy circuit]

UKIP had three times the percentage increase of votes than the SNP in the last General Election.

Pretty poor, as the have 11 times the number of available voters than the SNP.
Whats that got to do with it. I said they had three times a bigger percentage increase than the SNP.

Lies, damned lies and statistics again!
What did UKIP actually achieve with this 'massive' increase? 1 (extra) seat! While SNP achieved an additional 50 seats - an 8-fold increase!
In overall voter numbers, UKIP actually received over 50% more than Lib-Dems, yet, even while they were decimated, Lib-Dems achieved 8 MPs to UKIP's 1 - 8 times as many as UKIP! Doug Carswell retained the seat he won in the by-election he triggered when he defected from Cons, while Mark Reckless actually lost the one he had won under similar circumstances! So, UKIP actually ended up with 1 less MP than they had prior to the election - a 50% DECREASE!

Or in other figures.........
1.45 million votes from roughly 4 million voters
4 million votes from roughly 44 million voters
I shall let SR work out the % as it is beyond poor old me.

The numbers are irrelevant, I only mentioned the % increases. Seems like you are not able to grasp that.

What an odd post.
Look! I still dont fancy you and to be honest I probably never will fancy you. I know this may be a harsh reality but I think you need to be told.

So just to be clear, it's OK to make a joke about an MPs name but not about a lookalike because that would be childish and not funny? Because that obviously wouldn't be double standards at all would it?

For your info.........the normal Scottish version of spelling Cockburn.

But that isn't actually his name, ergo it's still immature. His name wouldn't change between being in Scotland or England.

His spelling is very unusual [In Scotland] even though it is pronounced exactly the same as the 'correct' Cockburn.
An honest mistake Guv. [not that I care a toot]

I grasp it alright, along with the desperation that goes with it.:lol:
How is your new leader doing?
Can't quite remember her name, she is a dynamic ex County Councillor I believe.

Only if it was deliberate!
In Doon's case, it was, presumably, an error.
Edit: As you can see from his post above, he's not great at names!
