An anonymous press release was issued claiming that the Conservative Party leadership had entered an agreement with Mr Farage, current UKIP prospective parliamentary candidate for Buckingham. Both he and the Tories have strenuously denied this.

If he was to then stand down there would be a by-election meaning the Tories would be able to fight for the seat, currently held by John Bercow, speaker of the House of Commons.

The press release quotes 'a highly ranked source on UKIP's national executive' as saying: "If the wheeler-dealer Farage is elected, Bercow will lose his seat.

"Farage will then resign shortly afterwards, creating a by-election which the Conservatives will win, thereby adding to their number in what may be an extremely thin Conservative majority or possibly a hung parliament."

A spokesman for the Conservative party said: "It's complete and utter rubbish. There's not much more to say than that."

Just last week The Times newspaper was reporting that David Cameron has made clear to party members in Mr Bercow's constituency that he will eject anyone that helps Nigel Farage standing for UKIP.

When contacted by the Bucks Herald, a press officer for UKIP admitted there was infighting within the party.

"It's a ridiculous joke," he said. "Basically there's a set of people out with the party that are constantly trying to cause trouble.

"We are constantly being attacked by people from within the party and not just within the community that want to undermine our work.

"They're running scared because people are listening to us."

Mr Farage was in Haddenham last Friday trying to rally support.

He has vowed to hold meetings at pubs across the Buckingham constituency from now until the general election.

He said: "I have done 10 years as an MEP and I would love the chance to stand and voice my opinions in Westminster because nobody else does.

"If this was a publicity stunt it would be a very high risk one, I wouldn't have stood down from the leadership of UKIP so that I can come here and do this."

Mr Farage faced a mixed response from people that answered the door.

Some made their excuses and closed the door while others said they agreed with what UKIP say but added that they were undecided when it comes to who they will vote for on polling day.

One woman in Haddenham said: "I'm a Conservative and always will be. I wouldn't vote for the Lib Dems but I certainly wouldn't vote for UKIP.

"I think I'll be voting, somewhat reluctantly, for Bercow."

Mr Farage said he believed he had a real chance of winning the Buckingham seat. "People vote for the party their grandfather voted for.

"In this constituency that doesn't exist; the vote is going to be without the main parties.

"There will be the speaker against UKIP and host of independents that don't have a chance of getting more than a few hundred votes.

"The fact that Cameron has been so heavy handed shows me that there's been some concern. The last thing Mr Cameron wants is UKIP in Westminster.

"He is, as speaker, the global ambassador of what used to be the mother of parliaments, and yet he goes around the country without ever once mentioning the fact that 75 per cent of our laws are made somewhere else."
