Quite; much has been made (by the media) of UKIP 'winning' two by-elections, when they've been really won by sitting MPs. It will be time to get excited when UKIP win by-elections with new candidates, & even more when they win seats in a general election.

Indeed. That's part of the reason why I estimate 5 seats, as it stands.Originally posted by Flosshilde View PostComment

It's not for you or me to say how many candidates UKIP might field when it comes to that election; all that we can consider is the number that it appeara so far to have said that it will field and the number out of those whom they expect to win seats and, if that changes between now and the time by which they have to commit to whatever number of candidates it decides to put forward, so be it.Originally posted by Beef Oven!

If indeed any more of them do so between now and decision time, that might increase the number from 12 but not by many, I imagine; such defection on a sufficiently significant scale seems wholly improbable.Originally posted by amateur51 View PostComment

It's what parties do at general elections, so expect a hell of a lot more UKIP candidates.Originally posted by ahinton View PostComment

That's what the party itself reckons to estimate and you evidently agree (and you have no obvious reason to do otherwise); if 3-5 out of 12 changes to higher numbers out of a higher number over time between now and decision time, forecasts can accordingly be revised but until and unless that happens or, as am51 suggests, there are more defections, we'll have to go for the time being with the figures with which we've so far been presented.Originally posted by Beef Oven!

There might indeed be, although NF's not yet indicated that the party might indeed field many more; as a matter of fact, I'd be very surprised if it didn't do just that, especially as the Greens are supposedly expecting to field candidates in some 3 out of every 4 constituencies. If indeed UKIP does end up fielding considerably more candidates, it might well upset the balance so that the likelihood of any party forming a majority government becomes even less that is appears to be now. That's whaty I imagine the UKIP effect to be next May.Originally posted by Beef Oven! View PostComment

Isn't that taking a rather gender-discriminatory, exclusively-male hierarchical and misogynistic view of things?Originally posted by visualnickmos View PostComment
