NIGEL Farage, the leader of the UK Independence Party (Ukip), has said he is ready to do an electoral deal with the Conservatives in return for a promise "written in blood" of a referendum on British membership of the European Union.
Mr Farage denied reports he was offering the Tories a deal under which Ukip would give Conservative candidates a clear run at the 2015 election in return for a referendum pledge, and promised members he would not "sell short" the party.
