British Polls Show Support for UKIP in Next House of Commons Election at 13%

According to this New York Times story, the UKIP is polling at 13% for the next British House of Commons election. The UKIP promises to take Britain out of the European Union. The Conservative government merely promises a referendum on that. Labour is committed to keeping Britain in the European Union. Therefore, it is obvious that voters who vote UKIP would prefer the Conservatives to Labour.

In 2011, Britain voted on whether to use ranked-choice voting in House of Commons elections. The Conservative Party waged a ferocious campaign against that idea. The irony is that the Conservatives may now regret their stance. The next election will come sometime within the next seven months.
