Between 2010 and 2012, UKIP gained more from ex-Conservative voters. But from 2012 to 2014 has gained more from ex-Labour voters.In other words, statistical evidence suggests that UKIP is a decreasing problem for the Conservatives and an increasing problem for the Labour party.

But (more importantly) a big problem for both....


Id have said your stats are rubbish given the INCREASED majority that the new UKIP MP took from the Tory party

The UKIP narrative is that an elite class of politicians have sold out traditional British values leaving a culture of welfare scroungers and a tidal wave of immigrants stealing our jobs. Such populist rhetoric connects with the very real insecurities and pessimism of voters for whom uncertainty and decline are a fact of everyday life, and provide simple explanations for their worries. Labour faces an especially difficult challenge in combating this as its explanations for both the sources and solutions of these anxieties are considerably longer and more complex than UKIP’s gross oversimplifica- tions. Furthermore, UKIP is served by the fact that they are articulating an easily understood short hand argument about deindustrialisation, globaliza- tion and distrust of institutions and authority. Finally, UKIP is strengthened by the fact there are grains of truth in their arguments. Some Labour politi- cians did abuse their expenses, our immigration policy did have unintended consequences and our base of elected representatives does now come from a more elite pool.Quite simply, in 1979 over 90 MPs came from working class backgrounds. By 2010 it was less than 20 with more former university lecturers than blue collar workers. But your right the conservatives voters are moving to, in there thousands. The Liberals will be lucky to get a seat.

Erm, it was his own majority!

It came from conservative voters tho, which kinda tells me that Ukip is another name for conservative with the added bonus of wanting out of Europe
