Tory activist: UKIP scare the hell out of me

The London Daily News was told by a Tory activist that "UKIP scare the hell out of me".

UKIP will be fielding candidates strategically, particularly in constituencies where Labour MPs have small majorities. Tories hope to win these seats, of course, but where the constituents are eurosceptic, they are more likely to go to UKIP, if Cameron doesn't pull his finger out and make a firm pledge to give us a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty, regardless of its ratification status.

Nigel Farage aill actively seek disaffected Tory MPs to stand as candidates who support a referendum on the EU.

The Tories could lose 50 seats due to UKIP.

Fausty said...: Absolutelty, Quiet Man. There's a protest outside the Czech embassy in London today and we should know by the end of October how the Czechs' constitutional court rules on the Lisbon Treaty.

Should they ratify, Hague will have to send a very clear message to eurosceptics. If he does not, UKIP will gain seats - and it will serve the Tories right.; 26 October 2009 15:17
