Many Conservative voters - including a large number in Clarke's own Rushcliffe (Nottinghamshire) constituency - will vote UKIP in next year's EU Elections. Just like they did last time.

Clarke is a man who has stood for the leadership of the Conservative Party three times now - and the last two times his vote fell substantially (when he last contested the Conservative leadership his support level had slumped to half of what it was the first time he stood).
