Senior Tory campaign chief, Michael Fabricant has proposed an electoral pact with UKIP – a deal to unite “warring brothers” ahead of the 2015 general election.
Mr. Fabricant has claimed that David Cameron should agree a pact with UKIP to offset the posed risk by anti-EU party to the Tory party. He insisted on an immediate action has to be taken to stop the “continued haemorrhage of the Conservative vote” to UKIP, which is growing in popularity as euroscepticism deepens. Such a deal could give the Tories 20 to 40 additional marginal seats.
Mr. Fabricant wants Mr. Cameron to promise a referendum on EU membership before 2015 in return for UKIP not standing against Tory candidates.
In a report titled “The Pact”, he tells: “The United Kingdom Independence Party is now a significant contributory factor in costing the Conservative Party victories in marginal seats.
“It is time to consider actively whether a rapprochement might be possible before the 2015 general election.
“The basis of any deal is clear: A referendum on the United Kingdom’s future membership of the European Union.”
However, the leader of the UK Independence party Nigel Farage has previously indicated to be open to a deal with the Tories, but now has rejected the idea of an electoral pact with the Conservatives and said it was no longer on the table after the prime minister had made a comment on the party in 2006 as one of “closet racists”. It was related to the controversy over children being removed from foster parents in the South Yorkshire town because of their UKIP membership.
Mr. Farage has also commented that he could not be bought off with the offer of a ministerial position, and added: “Cameron’s comments over the Rotherham case mean, a deal’s simply not possible.”
