Scares me too, I really believe a Conservative led govt with UKIP either in support or full coalition would be a total disaster.
Mind you, to be fair to them, a great many decent Conservative MPs would detest completely doing any deal with UKIP, which could cause major problems for David Cameron.
Anyway,we will only get a referendum from David Cameron 'if' he gets an overall majority, if he doesn't even get an overall majority, he isn't even committed to any re-negotiations with the EU as that too is conditional on getting an overall majority for himself.
He for sure couldn't do any re-negotiations with all members of the EU in a few months, then a referendum bill would have to be debated in the commons and then have to get through the Lords,who could hold it up considerably.
So Nigel Farage knows full well, David Cameron could never deliver a referendum in that time so hopefully no deal can be forthcoming.
Not that I believe anyway that David Cameron ever intends to hold one.
