		UKIP founder Dr Alan Sked, a professor of international history of the London School of Economics, said Mr Hague "deserved to be rewarded" for making the Tories more Eurosceptic.
		Dr Sked left the UKIP after the 1997 general election contest in which its core demand that Britain leave the European Union and its campaign were largely overshadowed by Sir James Goldsmith's Referendum Party.
		But Dr Sked told The Daily Telegraph his change in position stemmed from the Conservatives increasingly anti-European line.

		The party was founded in September 1993 by Dr Alan Sked, an economics don at LSE, on the foundations of his Anti-Federalist League, formed in 1992 to run candidates opposed to the Maastricht Treaty in that year’s general election.

		Sked states that, “It is futile for the UKIP to stand in seats which the Tories might win, but to give them to the Lib Dems” (The Times May 28).

		Professor Simon Hix of the LSE and Dr Michael Marsh of Trinity College, Dublin, note, ‘the UK Independence Party should lose all their seats, as support for them appears to have collapsed’.
		This is also a consequence of a reduction in the number of seats that the UK has in the European Parliament (78 from 2004 compared to 87 in the 1999 elections), so raising the threshold to get elected.
		Dr Alan Sked, founder of UKIP, has endorsed Conservatives in the European elections over UKIP.

		We never used to want MEPs, there would just have been empty seats in the European Parliament.” This does not mean, however, that Dr Sked’s political career is over.

		He gives all the reasons why he is voting Tory, enumerating all the problems with UKIP policies (there are none, to speak of) and behaviour of their MEPs (somewhat pathetic).

		Dr Alan Sked, its founder, left in a huff, and said of his fellow party members 'they are racist and have been infected by the far right'.
		He backed-up his claim by telling the Mail on Sunday that Nigel Farage, the co-founder and leader of the Ukip group of members of the European Parliament, had once told him that 'we will never win the nigger vote.

	What is the United Kingdom Independence Party?
		Bankrolled for the most part by Paul Sykes, a Yorkshire property tycoon, and Alan Brown, a businessman from Kent, UKIP was long regarded as a “fringe” party.
		But a hard-line Thatcherite party is precisely what UKIP is. It has become a means through which a political regroupment has taken place between die-hard Thatcherites and a layer of the far right that previously gravitated around more or less openly fascist formations.
		UKIP was founded at the London School of Economics in 1993 by Dr Alan Sked, formerly a member of the Anti-Federalist League and the “Brugge Group”, which regarded the decision of Thatcher’s successor, John Major, to sign up to the Maastricht Treaty in 1992 as a betrayal of her legacy.

		Dr Alan Sked said that on such a fundamental constitutional issue a two thirds majority should be demanded before a Yes vote could be accepted.
		This was disputed by Idris Francis, who thought that we might, in the future, wish to hold a referendum on withdrawing from the EU and a simple majority would be enough.

	Goldsmith sees £20m campaign start to pay off
		Nevertheless, staff at the Referendum Party's headquarters in London were delighted yesterday by the national poll findings in The Guardian which indicated that the anti-European parties were making an impact upon the wider public.
		Among the six per cent of electors who declined to back the mainstream parties, two per cent plumped for Sir James and a further one per cent for Dr Alan Sked's UKIP, equivalent to the ratings recorded by the Scottish National Party and the Greens respectively.
		The breakthrough came the day after another survey suggested that the Referendum Party's debut advertising campaign had struck a chord with the public, with 40 per cent expressing approval of the "Why not, John?" poster, far ahead of the ratings for either Labour's VAT scare or the Tory lion shedding red tears.
