1. You assume that people's vote would remain the same. I rather think people would be better able to vote for what they believe in, and would be more likely to vote in general. Following your assumption, though: 2. The Tories would have to choose coalition with UKIP (and vice versa). 3. Even if they managed to do that, they would not strictly have a majority at 49.5%. Tories currently have 50.9% of MPs alone. So a much less stable government that would threaten to split off and destroy the Tory left. It's not even likely that Cameron or Johnson could agree to those terms. But, if they were able to agree, I'd far rather have that government than the one we have now. I am concerned by this attitude in general. Although I don't agree a lick with UKIP, they should have fair representation. What you are suggesting is literally authoritarianism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authoritarianism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authoritarianism I'd personally rather have a democratic UKIP government than that.
