In what sense might it align itself?
Although some Tory voters are anti EU plenty others are not. A relative handful of their MPs, Rees-Mogg and Raab for example, are committed 'outers'. Most, including the PM, are committed to reform from within. The party is tied to business most of which believes in remaining in.
Any link to UKIP would send the Tory party back to the internecine squabbling that led to IDS as leader and years of being unelectable.
