There were 3425 rejected ballot papers.
If we believe all the media says UKIP is the party against immigration. Comments made on the Rutland Times web page suggest a selfish party going as far as comparing the party to Thatchers.

From what I see UKIP is made up of a lot of people with different opinions and no one policy.
Locally with have three county councillor who joined UKIP and sit under the protection of the UKIP umbrella, telling us they can still do as they please at a local level without any interference from the national party, is that the independent part of the UKIP name?
Some members of UKIP seem sensible, others are nuts, racist and homphobic.
A lot of UKIP people I have met blame many problems this country has on immigration, often forgetting the good old British who set up camp all over Europe and other counties outside the EU.
As for selfish, I wonder if it is selfish or racist for a UKIP supporter wanting to stop immigration, when that person wants to sell their business here in Rutland and retire to Europe and not the UK?

Emma McClarkin MEP & Stephen Castens, Conservatives, East Midlands, European Elections 2014, Leaflet, Photographs, Video, Oakham, Rutland
The publication of this post is purely for information purposes and does not express support for the East Midlands Conservatives.
Today The East Midlands Conservatives visited Oakham seeking votes for the Euro 2014 Elections.
Conservative MEP Emma McClarkin was campaining in Oakham with Stephen Castens.
There are three other Conservative candidates: Brenden Clarke-Smith, Andrew Lewer, William Hague MP
and Rupert Mathews
Christine Emmett Tory Rutland County Councillor and loser of the Corby 2012 By-election, kindly introduced me to Emma. Christine is one of the more people friendly Rutland Tories. She told Emma I had a keen interest in local political matters and even at times hold my own protests. If only all Rutland Tories were like Christine. I told Emma I considered Christine to be a good councillor and a modern Tory unlike some of the rotten old Tory farts who sit on the council. Christine kindly told Emma, Martin is sometimes a little outspoken.
Melton Blue Tweets utter crap all these Conservatives did, was walk around and politley say hi to shoppers and handed them leaflets if they wanted to accept one. Most people accepted, a few refused and mumbled on their way off. Of course there were the important Rutland Tories who stopped to chat for much longer membership clearly has its rewards!
Conservative Candidates MEP Emma McClarkin and Stephen Castens.
Emma making a purchase from an Oakham School charity stall.
Election Leaflet.
Emma did not think it would be appropriate for me to photograph her holding
a bunch of straight Euro bananas, wise really Tory headquarters may have gone
bananas...
