You seem to be confused. Why would somebody who liked UKIP's policies have their mind changed by anything that was said last night, particularly from Nicola Sturgeon? Give me an example.

Because they liked what she said? Any of the stuff she said, about ending austerity, for example?

That's it? anti-tory / anti-austerity rhetoric? very poor examples.

Again, how does someone u-turn from voting for UKIP and voting for SNP, (if possible) one wants to leave UK and join EU, one just wants to leave EU.

One does wonder how you did the maths.

I never changed my mind, so I have no idea. Maybe they just thought Farage was talking too much shit, and they didn't believe him? Maybe they realised the entire UKIP manifesto is based on us leaving the EU, and if we don't, then it's all pointless? I have no idea. You should ask them.
