Waiting In The Wings.

People who have voted tory in the past must now be rethinking. No chance that they would vote Labour - frying pans and fires come to mind!
We have ALL had a bellyful of the Lib Dems in coalition and await their demise with breath bated.
No rightminded conservative would ever vote for a socialist party like the BNP.
Provided that they can be persuaded that a UKIP vote will not be a wasted effort - surely, droves of now ex-tories will be heading in that direction.
For its libertarian attitudes - they may even pick up more than a few Lib Dem votes too.
What about Labour? - Many traditional voters for that crew have tried Lib Dem and have not liked it. Many more are right of centre but hate toryism and so will not vote for that particular ensemble.
The problem is that it is Labour voters who tend to vote BNP. Bucketloads of bad publicity of late coupled with internal wranglings, public spats and the departure of many members all make them less attractive to their dwindling band of supporters.
Consequently, I feel that many of the Labour's EU-haters will be heading for UKIP!
UKIP is approximately six times as popular in polls today as it was in the runup to the last EU elections where they became the second largest group of MEPs in the UK.
It has to be seen that UKIP are now in a position to be our largest party in the EU.
I do not suppose that the vast sums of money used to bail out silly eurozone economies will do UKIP too much harm either!

Phew.
