    Howard - I dont think that is necessarily as true now as it may have been in previous elections.

    The reasons being:

    1/ The primary motivation dominating the next election will be to get Labour out. It is a truism that Governments lose elections rather than Oppositions win them.
    2/ Tactical voting switch will be against Labour towards the Party most likely to succeed them as the Government, the Conservatives
    3/ The Conservatives are at their most Euro-sceptic since accession to the EEC. That will be seen and backed up by other factors which will limit the impact of UKIP. No-one expects UKIP to win the election.
    4/ DC has successfully decontaminated the Tory brand and we have been picking up votes from accross the spectrum.

    In places like Dover UKIP will pick up most of their votes now from Labour. Even many who may well have deserted us previously will return 'home' due to the motivations mentioned.
