What a load of conspiracy theory rubbish. What you are saying makes no sense at all, UKIP are splitting the Tory vote, the Eurosceptic Tories are voting UKIP and that hurts the Tories.
There is no way the Conservatives would create a party like UKIP as a “safety valve” for right wing Tory voters so they don’t go BNP!
The BNP do not have enough support to pose a serious threat to the Conservatives.
Tell you what you could do to provide some supporting evidence for this conspiracy theory (I’ve not checked this out).
Take a look at all the seats where the BNP and UKIP stood in 2005, add their votes together and see if together it could have beaten the Conservatives.
I’m sure you’ll find the odd example where together they could have beaten the Tories and if you assume all votes to UKIP would have gone to the BNP (BIG assumption as many would have voted Tory) you’d then have circumstantial evidence.
On the other hand if you can’t find many examples of seats where the BNP and UKIP vote added together would have beaten the Conservatives, you’ve then got no evidence for this silly BNP conspiracy theory.
I challenge any BNP supporter that believes this crap to do the research.
What you are saying is the equivalent of say Labour created the Lib Dems to stop far left voters voting Greens or something!
Nothing you say makes sense, if the Tories see UKIP as a temporary holding party for right wing voters and when UKIP is shown to be useless they’d go running back to the real Tories. Why would these right wingers return to the softer, less eurosceptic Conservative party when there’s the Euro-phobic BNP?
It’s embarrassing that people believe this rubbish! The Conservatives would never give votes away, it’s political suicide!
