Surely nobody thinks that anymore? Crikey, their right wing agenda, no doubts due to the Tory government wanting to clip their wings, is blatant. Why else have UKIP had far more news time dedicated to them than the Lib Dems, Greens etc?

It might have something to do with the fact that in the 2015 general election UKIP had a lot more votes than the Liberal Democrats & The Green Party combined. I don't particularly like UKIP but I must admit that their number of MPs is seriously out of kilter with the votes won when you compare them to other parties, particularly the SNP & to a lesser extent the Lib Dems.

As for the argument about BBC bias I find them to be pretty neutral towards all parties & i say that as someone who does not have a particular bias towards any political party.

I'm all for PR over FPTP, however counting votes when someone comes in second place, which can be used as a protest vote in a FPTP system rather than a direct vote in a PR system, does lead to claims by UKIP (and formerly LibDems) that they are under-represented. no doubt they are, but not to the extent that they claim
