David Cameron insulted UKIP in comments made in April 2006 on an independent radio station in London. The remarks were widely quoted by the national media. He made a mistake in criticising UKIP and he may have lost the support of many anti-EU people (including in target marginal seats he wants his party to win next time) by doing so.
Labour do not openly criticise the Greens because they know that they need the votes of Greens in highly marginal constituencies at General Elections.
If there were any people in UKIP who had hoped for co-operation with the Cameron-Conservatives and who had been working to try to achieve that - their case was damaged by David Cameron's criticisms of UKIP.
As a result of David Cameron's hostile approach to UKIP the two parties (UKIP and the Conservatives) are now further apart than ever before.
The Conservative Party has not won a General Election since the formation of UKIP.
