Mark Reckless

He has been mentioned above, I saw him interviewed with Nigel Farage in a pub on TV today and he said if he leaves the party and joins UKIP he is able to do what the Tories said they'd do from 2010 onwards but haven't done. I'm assuming he talking about sorting out Europe and getting immigration down. He went on to claim that by making the switch he is actually going to be more able to do what he and his then colleagues promised to do over the last 4 years - so in that sense he isn't really switching to anything by joining UKIP, he is actually (he claims anyway) going to be closer to the political agenda he was elected on. If Cameron had kept to his promises about sorting out of relationship with Europe and hugely lowering immigration Mark Reckless would unlikely have moved to UKIP.
