NIGEL Farage has revealed that the UK Independence Party’s general election strategy will be significantly swayed by its success or failure in the South Yorkshire police and crime commissioner by-election. During a campaign trip to the region, Ukip’s leader suggested the result would sway the party’s decision on the extent to which it contests Westminster seats in the region next year. The party enjoyed a significant breakthrough in Yorkshire in the May local elections as it became the main opposition group on Rotherham Council and took seats in Doncaster and Sheffield. Ukip also polled the most votes in Doncaster and Rotherham in the European elections as it won three of the region’s six seats in the European Parliament.
