Abstract

The UK Independence Party started 2013 riding high, after enjoying their two best ever-election results towards the end of the year. Rob Ford offers a detailed analysis of what is driving this electoral success, arguing that UKIP is a much more complex proposition than most political commentator seem to grasp. Nonetheless, it will take a significant change of strategy for their current momentum to translate into election success. Without local strongholds they will win nothing in a general election.
