Mind you, it's always amusing to here UKIP supporters such as yourself

Actually I vote Tory, but I sympathise with UKIPs main message and
it seems 15 million other people did too.


I've no idea why I'm reading this, but where do you get 15 million
people from?


11 million Tory voters + 4 million UKIP.

And while you might say that perhaps some of those Tory voters don't give
a monkeys about a EU referendum I would suggest most do and the difference
will be made up by the large amount of Labour voters who also do.


I think that's a nonsense claim to make

you haven't a shred of evidence that it is true

most people voted Tory because they wanted them to continue running the
government, the fact that they offered a referendum is purely incidental to
their choice.

And I would go so far as to suggest that a large percentage of the people
who voted UKIP aren't bothered either

It is clear from the transfer of votes from LD to UKIP that UKIP have became
the recipient of the protest votes that the LDs have traditionally collected
