Nigel Farage has outlined the demands he would make in exchange for propping up a Conservative government after the election.
The UKIP leader has issued the four-point ultimatum in an extract from his memoirs published in the Sunday Telegraph, declaring that an EU referendum would have to be held this year.
Mr Farage says he would ban EU citizens from voting in it unless they also held a British passport, even though this would see his German wife Kirsten unable to take part and could also lead to a legal challenge.
However, the UKIP parliamentary candidate for South Thanet says that his party will not enter a formal coalition with the Tories and he is not interested in a "ministerial car".
Mr Farage says his deal "would be very precise and simple".
He says: "I would look to do a deal where we would back key votes for them - such as the Budget - but in return for very specific criteria on an EU referendum.
"I want a full and fair referendum to be held in 2015 to allow Britons to vote on being in or out of the European Union. There would be no wiggle room for 're-negotiation' somewhere down the line'."
He added that, as a referendum would take "only a few weeks" to launch and organise, it should be held in 2015 and EU citizens should not be allowed to have a say.
"It is my strong belief that the four million EU citizens living in the UK without British passports should not be allowed to do so (vote) - and, yes, that includes my German wife.
"They are eligible to vote in European elections, but they should not have the right to decide on Britain's future in the EU. It may be that that would require us to do battle with the European Court of Justice - but so be it."
Mr Farage also said that there should be spending limits on campaigning and an ombudsman should monitor media coverage.
Prime Minister David Cameron has promised the British people a vote on whether to leave Brussels by the end of 2017 if he remains in No 10 after the General Election.
