Alternatively, Mr Spink might be parachuted to the top spot of the MEP list for the Eastern region.
I presume that there were some negotiations and incentives prior to his joining the party. While it is possible that he could hold his seat, the promise of a 'safe' MEP seat might have been more enticing. Pure speculation of course.
