This is about a councillor in Peterborough called Tony Palfrey, who was elected to the council in June as a member of the Liberal Party (not the LibDems!). It turned out later that he was also a paid-up member of UKIP. Labour have been huffing and puffing ever since, claiming that the electorate was somehow misled. However, the Liberals, UKIP and the election authorities all seem pretty relaxed about it.
