When those two dozen MPs present CCHQ with the fait accompli of a UKIP logo alongside a Conservative Party one on the ballot paper and on their election literature, then what will the fishwives at the centre do about that?
That Nigel Farage obviously knows who they are proves conclusively that a party within, in point of fact, both parties already exists, and is, as small parliamentary parties go, quite sizeable. David Cameron, Grant Shapps, and indeed the fundamentalist wing of UKIP, can like it or lump it.
We need a ballot line system, such that voters would be able to indicate that they were voting for a given candidate specifically as endorsed by a smaller party or other campaigning organisation, with the number of votes by ballot line recorded and published separately.

Newspapers registered as such with the Post
Office might also be given that right. Yes, we do have a State licensing system
for newspapers. We have never not had one. Here is a potential use for it.
