"ASHCROFT POLL ON WHERE UKIP SUPPORTERS ARE COMING FROM (AGAINST THEIR
2010 GENERAL ELECTION VOTES)

CONSERVATIVE: 24.8%
LABOUR: 14.3%
LIBERAL: 8.8%
OTHER OR DID NOT VOTE: 52.1%


Ashcroft himself expresses the view that he was surprised at the result
and had assumed that the majority of UKIP supporters were ex-Tories. The
poll endorses what we, in UKIP, have long believed, namely that our
support comes from all other parties, and none. We knew that, of the
three other big parties, the majority of our votes came from the Tories,
but almost as many seem to be coming from Labour and Liberals combined.
It is encouraging that 14.3% of our votes are coming from Labour at a
time when that party is in the ascendant. The big surprise is the huge
preponderance of €œothers and did not vote€�. We must conclude that we are
giving hope to a very large number of disillusioned people."

Not hope so much as giving them something different to vote for.

I think UKIP appear to offer hope to some of the 30% to 90% of those
that don't vote. They throw in 'jobs' and 'housing' as part of their
pre-election ramblings, without any associated policies in support.

I doubt many of those who dont vote actually believe
anything any polly claims, that's why they dont vote.

They throw in 'jobs' and 'housing' as part of their pre-election
ramblings, without any associated policies in support.

And so its only the most stupid that would get any hope from that.

Sure, there may be a few that stupid, but I doubt its very many of them.

And of course the policies the other clown parties have are so well
worked out they have to lie about them. Policies = worthless tosh.


UKIP have not yet announced their policies at all.

They published an energy policy that put every other party to shame.

If that's the one in the link then my policy is far better as it gives free gas and electicity to everyone and their dog or cat, but don't ask me how I will pay for it. That's not one of my polices :-)

Since their energy policy is based on the mistaken view
that man-made climate change is not occurring,
it would be bound to lead to disaster if followed.

That's the BBC announcing what they think UKIPs policies are.

But will they really get up and go and vote that is the point and I don't think they will.
