It will be interesting to see where UKIP will be in the polls now.

They got what they wanted on Thursday. Now, Scotland is much more likely to approve a second "Indyref", Northern Ireland may do the same, Nigel has admitted there won't be any extra money for the NHS at all, and the hard-hit Northern towns the put Leave over the top are going to 'get hurt more than anywhere else in Britain by the at-least-short-term recession that's on the way.

The Leave voters "got their country back", but it's now likely to be a poorer and smaller country.

Hard to imagine all of that NOT causing UKIP to take a major hit in popular support now.
