The only chance UKIP has of being successful is to have people like Anthony who are being realistic, even if it hurts, Intbel. You can build on a foundation of reality and truth, not delusion and wishful thinking. UKIP have to ask the hard questions, such as, why did all those Tory voters who stayed at home, not vote for us instead? Why would Tory voters rather not vote at all than vote for UKIP?
If UKIP could have found a way to gain those non-voters, they would have won the election.
One thing you are doing wrong, is campaigning negatively. On a couple of threads, it is made out that the Lib Dems managed to get Tories to vote for them. This isn't true. The LDs only gained around 800 votes. Labour did badly and the Tories, from last time.
Don't emulate the Lib Dems in negative campaigning. Appeal to the higher nature, not the lower and you may do a lot better.
