Lurch To The Right?

In The Sunday Telegraph, Matthew d'Ancona had me getting hot under the collar by advising the Tory party 'not to take a lurch to the right' to emulate UKIP.
Then it struck me! From where the tories are now - a left of centre party in all but economics - emulating UKIP WOULD indeed constitute 'a lurch'. Tactically, this will suit UKIP down to the ground. We shall be the only centre right party on offer.
