JWestland-
I don't think they have any seats now that Carswell has left.
I'd say after this election then look again at the voting figures. Possibly with the leave vote going through they will be deemed irrelevant but I'm not sure. I'd say they are far more relevant than someone like Plaid Cymru and they will be at the tv debates.

We had this discussion a few pages back. In the last general election they got more votes than the Lib Dems and SNP added together, more than 3 times as many votes as the Greens and third most votes in total.
Whether or not they have any seats, they were clearly very relevant in the last GE. Just because people don't like what they stand for it's not a reason to exclude them.
