Obviously here the global labour market comes before national interests. This is really the policy of big business that supports the Conservatives. Roger Knapman is still a Conservative at heart and doubtless will return when he steps down. This and the single issue aspect of UKIP has prevented the party from becoming other than a side-chapel for unhappy Conservatives over Europe. But then UKIP will have to develop other policies if it is to grow and attract the votes of those who hate the Blair/Cameron centre-ground model. I am still not convinced whether it really wants to be anything other than a pressure group.
