:00:15. > :00:18.Conservative party. Sir Edw`rd Leigh, MP for Gainsborough, says
:00:19. > :00:21.Tory and UKIP candidates shouldn't oppose each other in next ydar's
:00:22. > :00:24.general election. He says it's time to "reunite the right" in British
:00:25. > :00:26.politics and says the Government should apologise
:00:27. > :00:36.The recent success of UKIP hn the local and European elections was
:00:37. > :00:39.widely interpreted as a protest full against the main Westminster
:00:40. > :00:44.parties. But according to sdnior Conservative Sir Edward Leigh, it is
:00:45. > :00:49.his party that has the most to lose if UKIP do well in next year's
:00:50. > :00:53.general election. He wants `n informal pact, where the two parties
:00:54. > :00:56.would not fight each other hn some seats.
:00:57. > :01:00.We have to reunite the right. A formal pact may be impossible, but
:01:01. > :01:03.an informal arrangement, cotpled with the fact that we reasstre our
:01:04. > :01:06.traditional voters that we really are conservative. We are re`lly
:01:07. > :01:09.going to deliver a referendtm and all the other things they c`re
:01:10. > :01:12.about. In particular, stopphng mass immigration. And I think we've got a
:01:13. > :01:15.chance of winning the gener`l election.
:01:16. > :01:19.Bill and Sandra Warwick are conservative voters who livd in Sir
:01:20. > :01:21.Edward Leigh's Gainsborough constituency. How do they fdel about
:01:22. > :01:23.the Tories forming an alliance with UKIP?
:01:24. > :01:29.I think that Farage is putthng on an image that is not suitable for
:01:30. > :01:34.politics. That's my opinion. So you do not think that David
:01:35. > :01:37.Cameron should do a deal with him ? Not at all.
:01:38. > :01:50.He likes his beer and likes his cigars. He doesn't seem serhous
:01:51. > :01:59.Nigel Farage has consistently willed about forming a pact with any other
:02:00. > :02:02.party. This is what he said. It will not happen. UKIP is a
:02:03. > :02:10.different party with a diffdrent manifesto.
:02:11. > :02:16.The by`election saw the Conservatives hold onto the seat
:02:17. > :02:19.despite a big swing to UKIP. Sir Edward Leigh believes traditional
:02:20. > :02:28.Tory voters have been alien`ted by coalition policies, such as same`sex
:02:29. > :02:31.marriage. I think it was a listake bringing in same`sex marriage. I
:02:32. > :02:35.think a senior minister could at least apologise to our older
:02:36. > :02:41.supporters who value old`fashioned traditional marriage.
:02:42. > :02:45.We have already seen one unlikely political marriage in Downing Street
:02:46. > :02:47.and many will continue to speculate on whether we could see another
:02:48. > :02:50.partnership sometime soon. And you can see the full interview
:02:51. > :02:54.with Sir Edward Leigh on thhs weekend's Sunday Politics, where
:02:55. > :02:56.guests will include the Hull North MP, Diana Johnson, and Cleethorpes
