This is obviously a massive breakthrough, one can't say enough what this means for our party. How fantastic would it be to see another 2 or 3 follow suit and defect as well. It surely has planted a small seed in certain tory members who are fed up with their own party policy. media exposure/credibility = more votes. This news will resonate with Hardcore tory voters as well, it will certainly cause in some voters who were borderline now defecting to ukip, how many? only time will tell. One thing we can't do now is sit on our laurels, this opportunity really needs to be jumped on. I agree with all that we need to start campaigning now to hold that seat. Leaflets need to go through doors in that area from now until the next GE. Great news for all of us in UKIP but let us all keep working hard. Lets make this the start of even bigger and better things to come.
