UK General Election 2010: UK Independence Party (UKIP) Results
Overview of the Election
Results: House of Commons
The UK Independence Party (UKIP) performed poorly in the 2010 UK general election, failing to win any seats in the House of Commons. Despite receiving 3.06% of the total votes cast, the party's candidates failed to secure the necessary support to gain representation in Parliament.
The election resulted in a hung Parliament, with no party holding an absolute majority of seats. The Conservative Party emerged with the most seats (306), but fell short of a majority and was forced to form a coalition government with the Liberal Democrats.
Conclusion
The UKIP's disappointing performance in the 2010 election marked a setback for the party. However, the party's strong showing in subsequent elections, particularly in the 2014 European Parliament election, suggests that it remains a force to be reckoned with in British politics.
