UKIP are having difficulty winning themselves many seats on local authorities, which says a lot. And they've disintegrated in one of the few areas where they had made serious progress on that front (Newcastle under Lyme). Unless you can do that then it's kind of hard to actually win yourself a seat at Westminster.
Saying that, however...
If there were to be a by-election in a Coalition seat where Labour tends to poll 10% in a really, really good year, then, well, stranger things have happened. Trouble is, UKIP are much more offensive than the LibDems/Alliance/Liberals were back when they were the default option in such situations.
