Indeed, and also the middle-class commuter 'villages' on the Wirral, but not enough for UKIP to make any significant inroads as they would vote for a cardboard box if it was wearing a blue rosette.

Instead, I suspect UKIP's main targets will be the band of constituencies adjoining the M25 ring in the home counties and south east where they at least have some organisation on the ground.

Another factor is how political parties are funded as the current system favours the status quo whilst some element of publiuc funding would give smaller and regional parties a fairer chance of mounting effective campaigns.
