Re: UKIP MEP defects to Tories
Cameron the "true referendum party" well that remains to be seen does it not. I would have thought Nikki Sinclair's The Referendum Party was the true referendum party though lol
Maybe her views were just wrong it is very difficult to get across to women that they can be wrong too

Yes. I have a lot of respect for her and the work she does though. She really got me interested in the Euro debate . Maybe there is a discrimination issue in UKIP and maybe it is down to Farage I have not seen it yet and wont be faced with it obviously

Re: UKIP MEP defects to Tories
So I wonder what her constituents who voted for her as a UKIP member will make of it..I think they might possibly be aggrieved about her shift of allegiance.I know I would if I had voted for her as a representative of my chosen party.

Agree ALL defections should go to the electorate with by-election.

As an MEP she was not voted for, the party was and she was selected by ukip from the Party List under PR voting so the voters will still get a UKIP MEP which is what they voted for
At least that's how i understand it
