A good point, but in 1983 the opinion polls suggested the SDP could form a government ... things didn't turn out quite that way.
UKIP's opinion poll showing is a great result in and of itself for everyone who has worked for them to achieve recognition, but I think they need to show a little more hard support before they supplant the Lib Dems in general political discussion like this.
Of course, if they put in a good show at the Euro elections next year ...
Personally I'd love to see UKIP rise and rise. The Left dismisses them as an 80s Thatcher tribute act, but you can hear the fear in their voices - not surprising, seeing as Thatcher and the 80s Tories repeatedly handed the Left's ass to it on a plate. David Cameron and assorted metropolitan hangers-on, take note.
