Just one in 10 Ukip supporters would consider switching their vote to keep Ed Miliband out of Downing Street, a major new poll revealed yesterday.
The study by the former Tory deputy chairman Lord Ashcroft found that most supporters of the anti-EU party do not believe to David Cameron's warning that they risk wrecking hopes of an EU referendum by aiding a Labour victory.
The finding is a major blow to the Tories who fear a strong showing for Ukip in next year's General Election could cost them dozens of seats.
The Tories 'Vote Ukip, get Labour' - or 'Vote Farage, get Miliband' slogan is expected to play a key role in the party's strategy next year.
But the new study of 2,300 Ukip supporters found that that just over half (51 per cent) disagreed with the statement 'a vote for Ukip makes the prospect of Ed Miliband becoming Prime Minister more likely'.
Almost a quarter (23 per cent) agreed they might inadvertently help Labour into power but said they did not care.
Just 10 per cent said they would consider changing their vote to keep Mr Miliband out.

This is soooo dishonest. It is based on trying to con people that 'voting UKIP holds dangers'. UKIP takes a few more Tory votes than Labour but that gap is rapidly narrowing by the week!
