It was a Seismic shift - it is a new party which is now the largest party sitting in the European Parliament. The mistake you're making is saying it's UKIP, it's not - for a start it has candidates from a whole range of political beliefs, from those on left, to those on right. It also had a diverse range of ethnic candidates, which was far from the case in UKIP.
BP is not UKIP.

Liberal Democrats caught in a lie - they claim now after the vote that Labour is a Remain so they can fudge the argument that Remain won more votes, but they campaigned on a ticket which said a vote for them, is a vote to stop brexit and it said "Conservatives, Labour, Brexit Party and UKIP" is a vote for Brexit.
