In which case it will be good for the UKIP but very bad for the anti-EU couse. I doubt if there will be enough support moving from the tories to UKIP to elect shed loads of UKIP MP's. It will mean that the tory vote will be spread about allowing the Pro-EU parties to increase their hold on Westminster.
Rock and hard place spring to mind
