Will UKIP membership overtake LIBDEMS in 2014?

 UKIP state they have had a record year for 2013 seeing an increase of over 13,000 new members to about 32,500. The main three parties have seen a steep decline in membership.

Party membership of the three largest Westminster parties

  • 1951 Conservative 2.9 million - Labour 876,000
  • 1981 Conservative 1.2 million - Labour 277,000
  • 2001 Conservative 311,000 - Labour 272,000 - Lib Dem 73,000
  • 2012-13 Conservative 134,000 - Labour 187,000 - Lib Dems - 42,000 
So will UKIP now on 32,500 and LibDems having seen a decline of 40% swap places?
