The Tories are re-cycling! Clapped out types and those whose ambitions have been thwarted by gilded ex-public school chaps are joining 'UKIP' at quite a rate of knots.
And there's no 'age discrimination' either

I would love UKIP to overtake the vile Lib Dems but in 2015 you can bet that Tory voters will tactically vote for Lib Dems in all their seats to keep Labour out, and that Clegg, Featherstone, Hughes, Alexander etc will still be MPs.
UKIp are right on Europe, right on immigration, but oh so wrong about the City and the bankers..they wont break through to become the third party in a general election, I'm afraid.
