Did the UKIP vote cost the Tories anywhere?
Discussion
Was there any seats that the Tories would have won if UKIP hadn't been on the cars? They seemed to have a preety poor result from what I saw last night, was just wondering if they stole a few votes from the Conservatives that would have made a diference anywhere....?
Anyone with stats?
Cheers

You have to be kidding, surely? I can only assume you haven't actually looked?UKIP voters have basically f
ked this entire country over!!!Not all the seats have been counted yet, and we can't really assume that all UKIP voters would've voted Tory if UKIP hadn't fielded a candidate, but in many cases it would've only taken half or less of the UKIP voters to vote Tory to change the result.
Below is a role of shame of the nineteen constituencies so far which have been gifted to the Lib Dems or Labour by UKIP voters.
Well done UKIP voters. You must be very proud!

If they raise the EU issue, the party splits down the middle, which is why they don't.

Yes, it splits the party, hence their is some scepticism about Europe in the Tory party, unlike Labour/Lib Dems, or do you dispute that?If they raise the EU issue, the party splits down the middle, which is why they don't.

sensible economic policies, ie:- getting the fk out of Europe now
That's an oxymoron based on the absurd assumption that other EU countries would let the UK pick and choose which bits of the benefits of EU membership we kept were we to leave.k out of Europe now968 said:
Yes, I'd like to congratulate the UKIP voters for enabling Labour to retain power for another 5 years with Brown likely to be the PM, in a Lib/Lab pact. Indeed 2 europhile parties will probably govern for the next 5 years, instead of a eurosceptic communist like the other two, Tory government. Given the economic climate in Europe I'd like to especially congratulate the UKIP voters on their wise choice. :roll eyes:
