Only one in twenty voters now say they plan to vote UKIP according to the latest YouGov poll.  If that’s right, their share has halved in the first week of the campaign and is down over 60% from the last election.  Leader Paul Nuttall has been dodging questions about whether he intends to stand as an MP this time round.

It looks very much as if the former UKippers now intend to vote Conservative, as Theresa May’s party remains on track for a landslide victory.  Just under half the electorate say the will vote for her party on June 8th.

With the main objective of UKIP being the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union, it appears that post the Brexit vote they are a party without a purpose and with vanishing support.
