Anti-EU UK Independence Party Hitting New Polling Highs At Expense of Conservatives

The findings will heighten Tory fears that Ukip could deprive it of victory at the 2015 general election by splitting the anti-Labour vote and allowing Ed Miliband’s party to regain power —even though Ukip might not win any seats itself.
