While posting his vote for the European Parliament, MEP Nigel Farage, the leader of the UK Independence party on Thursday predicted a political earthquake in the UK if predictions come through that UKIP will become the second-largest party in British politics.


Meanwhile, The Guardian newspaper reported that Farage has threatened to demand a rerun of the European elections and called for a ministerial scalp amid fears that his party had lost votes because its name fell below the crease of the folded ballot paper.

Nigel Farage wrote to Michael Wills, the elections minister, demanding his resignation because he said the elections had not been contested on a "free and fair basis".

Earlier today, the Ukip leader lodged a complaint with the elections watchdog the Electoral Commission, in which it said that the last parties in alphabetical order were hidden when the first fold of the EU ballot paper was opened.
