Re: Ukip
Nice bit of logic from Private Eye magazine - The Tories campaigned against the AV voting system in last year's referendum. If substantial numbers of Tory voters defect to UKIP they would probably have put Conservative as their second choice in an AV vote. As (probably) 3rd place in the poll the UKIP votes would have been re-distributed to the Tories giving them a better chance of beating Labour.
So the Tories shot themselves in the foot.
But under the first past the post system, switching from Conservative to UKIP is likely to promote Labour's chances.
I'm unsure what would be best to do!
