Further to last Thursday’s European elections, I am concerned that the MEP polling list was headed by the “An Independence Party”, only recently formed.

I feel convinced it added “An” to get itself to the top of this alphabetically laid-out list and capture votes intended for Ukip – votes which would otherwise have gone in their hundreds of thousands to Ukip, which was correctly listed at the bottom of the voting sheet.
