This is a fascinating article that will tell it:  Is UKIP for real?  Even the headline is showy: David Cameron’s fury as top Tories plot UKIP pact which could make leader Nigel Farage a minister Wow.  Well, to be a minister, you have to be elected MP I would think.  And some UKIP supporters would [...]

Finally a sensible article about UKIP – thanks to the ConservativeHome website, torydiary.  It argues well that UKIP is not the BNP.  They have done an admirable job weeding out radicals and racists: However, the number exposed as extremists is under 1% – indeed I think still in single figures.
