According to the survey, almost one in three people who voted Conservative at the last election are ready to back the UK Independence Party.
Ten per cent of 2010's Tory voters say they have already decided to back UKIP, while 26 per cent of those who still support the Conservatives are 'seriously considering' switching.' (Mail.)
There have been two effective pieces of propaganda against UKIP by its enemies in recent months.
Firstly, europhiles from across the LibLabCon are so frightened of the democracy offered by Farage & Co that they have attempted to portray the party as being 'close enough to the far right'. (After all if you dare to criticise the ever corrupt EU, by definition, you must be some sort of extremist!)
AND it is not so long ago that polls by UKIP were showing that equal numbers from all three larger parties were joining. Clearly then, the LibLabs have a vested interest in claiming that the party is only 'luring disaffected tories' when this is far from the truth!
In fact - we worry them all!
UKIP has such a mix of members that it has spent years deciding just where it sits on the political spectrum but it does appear that they are becoming, and settling as, Centre Right non-tories.
