What will happen if Tories 'lend' their votes to Ukip and Labour rediscovers patriotism? - Clearly Ukip hope that the impending or actual disaster in the eurozone will bring a surge of support for their policy to regain self-government for Britain by exit from the European Union. It will not be entirely easy to convince disillusioned Conservatives to support Ukip if it would risk putting Labour back into office. Of course, if it looked that Labour was a certainty to win anyway, perhaps a lot more former Conservative voters would be tempted to "lend" their votes to Ukip leading to a catastrophic defeat for the Tories.

Er… well… yes!
