Nigel Farage today announced UKIP would go after Ed Miliband in his Doncaster seat as part of a campaign to win a ‘good number’ of MPs in 2015.
The UKIP leader told critics who think his party has peaked with last night’s victory in the European elections ‘you ain’t seen nothing yet’, as he announced plans to launch new party policy in the Labour leader’s backyard.
With 11 regions declared, UKIP has won more than 27 per cent of the vote, electing 24 MEPs, leaving Labour and the Tories to battle it out for second for the first time in 100 years.
In a speech to a victory rally in central London, Mr Farage said the party would now focus on trying to win next week’s Newark by-election before attempting to secure enough MPs in Westminster to hold the balance of power in a hung parliament.
With only Northern Ireland left to declare, UKIP has 24 MEPs, up 11 since 2009, including its first MEP in Scotland.
Labour has 20 seats and the Tories 19 seats in Brussels, with Labour narrowly ahead on vote share – 25.4 per cent to 23.93 per cent.
Support for Ukip has surged by more than 12 per cent, outstripping a more modest boost in votes for Labour, while the Lib Dems faced near-wipeout, slipping into fifth place behind the Greens.
Mr Farage said he was ‘proud’ of the campaign which has seen him humiliate the Westminster parties, pushing Labour and the Tories into second and third.
Speaking at an event in London today, he said: ‘If you think you’ve seen the high watermark of Ukip, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Our small party isn’t so small anymore.’
He announced that he would launch the new UKIP manifesto in Doncaster, where Mr Miliband is a local MP, in a direct challenge to Labour’s cost of living campaign.
In his speech, Mr Farage said: ‘We have got to get policy right… I do feel that the manifesto as it was in 2010, 486 pages of it, was perhaps not the right way to approach politics.
‘We have already been doing substantial work on the NHS, on defence, on education, on public spending and other areas, and we will unveil our outline manifesto for the next general election, and we will do it in a town called Doncaster.
‘It is a town in which Ed Miliband is the MP, it’s a town in which yesterday we topped the polls, and we will have an honest conversation with the British public about the cost-of-living crisis and about how we can make life better and more affordable for ordinary families in this country. Policy will happen in Doncaster in September.’
Mr Farage said he was ‘over the moon’ and predicted that Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg could be forced to quit after losing 11 of his 12 MEPs, despite pitching the Lib Dems as a the ‘party of in’.
On a dramatic political night:
- The Lib Dems clung on to just one MEP – in the South East – as it faced wipeout elsewhere
- Labour only narrowly beat the Tories after failing to make progress in key areas where they must win at the general election
- The BNP lost its place in Brussels, as leader Nick Griffin conceded defeat
- David Cameron rejected local electoral deals with Ukip at next year’s general election, as he dismissed Mr Farage’s image as a ‘normal bloke down the pub’
- Mr Farage hailed the first election triumph for a minor party in more than 100 years
- Across Europe, far-right and Eurosceptic parties swept to victory in many countries
With all the main parties left reeling about how to tackle the rise of UKIP, Mr Blair said action had to be taken to show how Mr Farage offers no solutions to the problems of modern Britain.
Speaking on Swedish television, Mr Blair said: ‘Of course we should be worried when a party like UKIP comes first in the European election, it would be foolish not to be. But on the other hand we also have to stand for what is correct and right for the future of Britain in the 21st century.
