Are you suggesting I'm a racist bigot?

I think he meant the Tories have problems there too, but I'll let Jon speak for himself.

I think people will vote for UKIP because they are disillusioned with the main three parties. Many clearly hope that they will send a message to the Tories with a big UKIP turn out, but the problem will be that they actually learn what the public are saying. The same can be said for ex Labour voters changing their vote.

Quite so. It's a question of degrees of course (I'm pretty sure there are racist bigots in every major party) but there distance between UKIP and the conservatives isn't all that great in this regard. I in no way intended to imply Lev himself was racist.
