One of the advantages that UKIP currently have is that - rather like the Lib Dems in their pre-Government days - most voters don't actually know what most of their policies are. So there's an element of the disgruntled projecting what they reckon they want onto them.

When they get a higher profile and folk wise up to the idea that what they stand for is more right-wing Toryism, we'll see what happens.
