UKIP’s future: Ridding Britain of Labour
UKIP now needs to drop the anti-Conservative agenda and fight a more mature battle: to lock out Labour for good. And if that sounds like a strategy designed to help the Tories, well consider this tantalising thought: You Kippers could become the second party in British politics. Ready?
