To be fair the increase in Lib Dem support was hardly impressive. They in fact only managed forth position behind UKIP. Doesn't say much for the views of the electorate on soldiers in Iraq.
Secondly the increase in UKIP. I think you will find that UKIP gained the largest proportion of their votes from the conservatives. I think this says much more about the current Tory policies then it does about the Labour pro-European viewpoint.
He is supposed to be a socialist. I know most of the time he seems to lose this ideology but I really doubt that this increase in UKIPs popularity is going to change the entire Labour ideology of Britain being at the heart of Europe. In fact I respect him more for following his parties beliefs as apposed to trying to make the Euro-Sceptic newspapers happy and those people who form political stances by reading only them.
