Except for one retiree all the incumbents get in top place. Where is the rage within the Lib Dems at the outcome? If something similar happens in UKIP I would expect a raft of 'high profile' resignations and extensive disgust at the result expressed on this forum. The Lib Dems seem to be able to vote, accept the result except for a recount and move on. It would be nice if UKIP could operate in such a way. Especially as nobody within the party wants us to have to contest Euro elections in the first place.
