The tombstone, the shrill NH...Let's be clear. <br /><br />The tombstone, the shrill NHS warnings, the Brand interview...<br /><br />This isn't to appeal to you, dear readers. You're never going to be converted into voting Labour, are you ?<br /><br />Labour voters aren't reading The Sun nor the Daily Mail. <br /><br />The Beeb are still giving Miliband an easier ride than he deserves. <br /><br />So how is this going to stop Labour voters voting Labour ? <br /><br />I think his support will hold up in so far as Labour supporters who have swung to Ukip have already done so. <br /><br />Believe me. Working in a Labour environment Ukip are hated by Labour voters such has been the "Ukip are racist facists" rhetoric. <br /><br />Not a good move by the Tories and their press really:<br /><br />a) because it isn't true<br /><br />b) because Ukip would be taking more Labour votes than Tory ones by now. <br /><br /><br />I'm expecting a Tory LibDem coalition by the end of the week with Ukip having some deniable but definite gravitational pull. <br /><br />That suits Ukippers fine because:<br /><br />a) Ukip in power is bound to disappoint<br /><br />b) a Ukip/Con coalition would have the Left rioting (they don't like it and get violent when democracy doesn't go their way)<br /><br />The country would be ungovernable.<br /><br />This was never a push for power, only for influence and to redress the democratic deficit.<br /><br />It is vitally important enough of us support Farage in order to stop the Tories lurching to the Left. <br /><br />Can you eurosceptic Tories really not see just how useful a strong Ukip can be to you if you insist on having an unsplit wet/dry Tory party ?<br /><br />If Labour win then please blame Labour voters, not us.
