The UK Independence Party Candidate in the Enfield by-election yesterday (10.8.06) came third, with the Liberal Democrats relegated to 5th place, in a hard fought campaign.
UKIP candidate, Madge Jones said, "It was particularly satisfying to beat the Lib Dems in this ward, especially as they were also beaten by the local campaign group, Save Chase Farm, who already hold two council seats".
"The support that I received from party activists from across London was wonderful", she said, "and their work has made this result possible".
This illustrates once again that the UK Independence Party is rapidly becoming a serious force in British politics.
The full result was as follows:
Madeline Jones (UKIP) 174 votes
Matthew Laban (Conservative) 877 votes
Derek Levy (Labour) 874 votes
William Linton (Green) 51 votes
David Peters (Liberal Democrats) 77 votes
Sujal Saveri (Save Chase Farm) 133 votes

Nice result Madeline. Looks like a Labour vs Tory slugfest, but UKIP beating the Lib Dems is good, as well as the Greens.
