Very excited about the UKIP results.

Clacton looks like it’s gone to form. Well known, respected hard working local MP with pronounced UKIPish views holds seat.

The closeness of the result in Heywood is interesting.

Assuming that Reckless holds his seat that would give a lot of waveringTory MP’s some comfort that they too could be welcomed into the UKIP family and survive.

Looking forward to the General Election I’m still not sure that UKIP will bounce off First Past the Post and not pick up much in the way of seats but I’m less certain than I was six months ago and so I imagine are lots of voters.

I am loving the "Cameron warns voters that if they vote UKIP they'll get Labour" headlines.

I wonder how much they're regretting the AV vote now!

I'm not even sure they see the connection to be honest.

I think for many of them it's a surprise that the electoral system doesn't do what they want it to do. After all, it always has.

Well, therein lies the danger of mark to market accounting in a illiquid market.
