I still think over 50% of Ukip voters are natural Tory voters

And quite a lot more than that in places like Norfolk. Clearly they are also taking votes off Labour and the Lib Dems but their agenda is still much more akin to that of right-wing Tories than anything else, which is why I think that in effect their presence on local councils will not be that damaging for Tories.
