As Ireland is going to the polls, the UK are realising today that UKIP is finally a main political player with massive overnight wins.
UKIP leader Nigel Farage has said his party will be “serious players” at the 2015 general election, in with a chance of securing representation in the House of Commons for the first time.
As results came in from England’s local elections, showing gains for UKIP across the country, he said: “The UKIP fox is in the Westminster hen house.”
They want the UK out of Europe, and if that happened, Ireland would more than likely have to follow suit.
