Both Labour and Tory candidates have made controversial remarks in the past (and more recently for the Tory) which are influencing the campaign. Firstly the Tory has only recently argued that she's sent her son to private school because state education would be impossible to allow him to be a surgeon; in the past she's said:

"With an increasing number of immigrants and asylum seekers then the pot is reduced for the rest of us.

Mr Blair has got to stop focusing on issues around the world such as Afghanistan and Aids in Africa and concentrate on the issues that affect the people of Middle England, like myself who pay the taxes which keep the country going."

"I don’t care about refugees. I care about my little boy and I want the treatment he deserves."

"I am a pro-lifer and would have voted to reduce it as far as possible."

The Labour candidate has also made some controversial statements in his book:
"I would invent all sorts of elaborate scenarios whereby she would cease to be Prime Minister of Britain. Some involved a sombre deputation from the 1922 Committee  [of Tory MPs] and others involved me popping up with a machine-gun at the Conservative Party Conference.

In October 1984, when the Brighton bomb went off,  I felt a surge of excitement at the nearness of her demise and yet disappointment that such a chance had been missed.

This was me – the pacifist, anti-capital punishment, anti-IRA liberal – wishing that they had got her. “Why did she have to leave the bathroom two minutes earlier?”  I asked myself over  and over again."

"I settle on the uncomfortable and convoluted position of wanting Great Britain to lose the [Falklands] war for the good of Great Britain.  I was against the war, against people’s reaction to the war, even against the outcome of the war."

Can UKIP win without any press backing?

It has plenty of press backing.

Hopefully they'll become more common and deliver the entire UK PR.
