UKIP doesn’t have to have a prayer of holding any parliamentary seats. They have only to keep their vote share high enough to disrupt a few victories here and there for one side or the other. UKIP’s erosion of the Tory vote was a significant factor in Cameron’s decision to go for a referendum in 2016.
