UKIP: Sensible Policy

This looks like an entirely sensible policy:

David Cameron faces further desertions by traditional Conservative members after the UK Independence Party announced a decisive move to capture support from disaffected Right-wingers.

At least two peers are poised to sever links with the Tories next week and join Ukip as the anti-EU party tries to capitalise on Mr Cameron's alleged "Brussels-friendly" strategy. The Daily Telegraph understands Lord Pearson of Rannoch and Lord Willoughby de Broke are expected to join Ukip after Nigel Farage, its leader, wrote to all 646 MPs to announce that he would no longer field candidates against proven Eurosceptics.

The strategy is designed to woo disaffected Tories by ridding Ukip of its reputation as a party bent on destroying the Conservatives.

Ukip may also rebrand itself as The Independence Party to broaden its base and mount serious challenges in local and general elections. The moves come amid increasing realisation on the Tory Right that Mr Cameron, elected leader in December 2005, will not waver in his mission to put the Tories in the centre ground.
