I think this is true and helps explain why a strong economic argument hasn't had the expected effect.
Some jobless Outs with little hope of improving their lot might even be opposing anything backed by big business out of spite.

I read about few of UKIP goals and it sounds a lot like Republicans with all their denial of climate change, hating on immigrants and lowering taxes.
There's no need to call a GE when a PM resigns mid-term - his party choose a successor, who immediately becomes PM (as did Ford after Nixon).
UKIP are even worse than the Republicans, who at least have established and published values and goals. UKIP, if they were ever to become more popular, would be ripe for a take over by a more intelligent but equally vile person whose message might change little from the present, while carrying severely sinister undertones.
