UKIP will cost Conservatives

This is stating the obvious a bit but the Conservatives have warned that UKIP will cost them and help Labour.

This is hardly a surprise as UKIP is aiming to attract the anti Europe Conservative vote. Labour doesn’t have quite the same problems.

However UKIP could be a problem for the Conservatives at the next election, provided they don’t completely collaspe before then. Remember the Referendum Party in 1997?
