Another tory MP joins ukip

[S11Blade]

Mark Reckless just announced it at their conference. Might wind up with 10 mps before the election at this rate let alone after

 

[geezer466]

As predicted when Carswell jumped.......

Wonder how many more there are?

 

[Mr_Fingerz]

Has quit the Tories for UKIP triggering a bye-election.

Another political career bites the dust.

 

[CrashTestDummy]

Sinking ships and rats?

 

[geezer466]

Just coming over the wires now. He has resigned the seat triggering another by election.

I think there's genuine anger among right wing tories about how little has been achieved with human rights, immigration, the EU and welfare reform. If they were in it for themselves, defecting MPs wouldnt be forcing by elections.

So where does this fit into the narrative then?

Probably in the too-little-too-late category...

Are you insinuating that I should have looked at the top right?

Because I shall spam your pm's with All Ireland Hurling Final scores from 1700 onwards if you are.

Yup, and I bet that nice Mr Cameron is pleased as well!

Purely Jam tomorrow promise as they won't have an ice cubes chance in hell of achieving that in this parliament and I doubt they'll achieve it in the next either.

As if!

 

[Mr_Fingerz]

As if!

No I shall. ...

 

[seaweed]

There is the possibility after the GE of a hung Parliament with UKIP holding the balance just as the Lib Dems (with disastrous results) have done in this one. That is a situation which confers huge and disproportionate power on a minority party.

In the GE a high UKIP vote could swing seats in a way the affected constituencies have never experienced - both ways.

 

[CrashTestDummy]

No I shall. ...

Nononononono

I guess a few more are waiting to see how the by elections go. Carswell should spank it but this one will be a bigger ask.

 

[S11Blade]

The former candidate has stood aside for reckless so they learned from that cock up in Carswells seat.
