Sorry, I was playing devil's advocate to state why UKIP might have made that decision.
If I was in UKIP I would probably want them to at least try some negotiations and strike a hard bargain. Afterall, UKIP has the political punch (theoretically) that the others can't touch, which puts it in a strong position. It could pretty much call all the shots.
