Getting MP's to advocate openly, as a group, the withdrawal from the EU would make gaining grass roots support so much easier to drum up. Credibility is what we need more of, and so this potential "merge", to my mind, is a wet dream.
But, I severely doubt it will happen, as the potential Conservative defectors will worry for their jobs. In actual fact, a UKIP type "common sense" Party, I think, would be hugely successful and could even push the Tories or Labour into second place come the next election, the vacuum and feeling of discontent is now so far reaching.
Lets wait and see, with hope.
