Britain: Ukip To Win EU Parliament Election, Opinion Poll Reveals - by Aaron Akinyemi

The UK's right-wing eurosceptic UK Independence Party (Ukip) will win a majority of votes in the European Parliament election in May, according to a new ComRes poll.

The opinion poll, commissioned by the Independent on Sunday and the Sunday Mirror, puts Ukip  in the lead with 30%, two points ahead of Labour, which is on 28%.

The Conservative Party is in third place with 21%, followed by the Liberal Democrats on 8% and the Green Party on 6%.

A victory for Nigel Farage's Ukip Party, which currently has no seats in the UK House of Commons, could mean that the party doubles the 13 seats it won in Brussels in 2009.

The ComRes poll also found that Labour's poll lead for the 2015 UK general election has fallen by 2-3 points, but it is still in the lead at 35%.

Prime Minister David Cameron's Conservative Party is in second place at 32%, followed by Ukip at 16% and the Liberal Democrats at 9%.
