UKIP create new kind of geometry for Norwich
UKIP’s first election leaflet for the Norwich North by-election has rolled in:
Leaving aside the fact that there’s no mention of the area that it covers (UK, South East, Just Norwich North?). Actually, lets not leave it aside just yet. In the process of trying to work out where the figures do come from I’ve got totally confused. They are different from the results for the East of England constituency, in which Norwich North sits, they have UKIP higher at 20%, but a much larger gap to the Conservatives at 31%. And they don’t come from the national results. My only guess is that they are quoting the European results for Norwich North itself? Can anyone confirm?
Anyway, back to the point. What exactly is the scale of that graph? The 9% between the Tories and UKIP is represented as about a quoter of the size of the 11% difference between Labour an UKIP. Maybe its some kind of esoteric imperial measurement system UKIP have got attached to? None of these leaner metric measurement systems for UKIP.
