Voices on the margin

With three per cent of the vote, the UK Independence Party may have cost the "Conservatives" as many as 15 seats.

Though I doubt it. Had I bothered to vote, it would have been for the UKIP or nothing.

A UKIP spokesman last night claimed the party had deprived the Tories of wins in up to 15 seats, but did not provide a full list. He blamed the Tories for rejecting an electoral deal in which UKIP candidates would have stood aside in return for a referendum on Britain leaving Europe.

He added: 'We are not responsible for the behaviour of the Conservative Party who rejected the offer of a deal. The voice of our supporters is important and massive and the only way to teach the Conservatives that is to hurt them.'
