I mean that if UKIP get 50-100,000 extra votes and maybe a couple of MP's. It will not make a snowball in hells difference to the EU. If the Tory vote collapses then, (IMHO), it will be because lots of Tory voters stay at home. If UKIP supporters expect battalions of disaffected Tories to march into the polling stations and vote UKIP then I think there will be a few tears on the Friday morning. If the Cam-Con's go into meltdown then Lab and the Lib-Dems will prosper. They will then, quite rightly, be able to claim that they have a mandate to do whatever they like vis-a-vis Europe. As for UKIP really benefiting, it aint gonner appen.
