Tory MP defection.

[Fittster]

"Tory MP Douglas Carswell has defected to the UK Independence Party and will stand down as MP for Clacton to seek re-election in a by-election.

If he wins the by-election he will be the first UKIP MP to take a seat in Westminster."

Quite impressed he's got the balls to call a by-election. Never like it when an MP switches parties without calling a by-election (yes, Emma Nicholson I'm thinking of you).

Never heard of him , attention seeking?

He's a weirdo who has never fitted in with the Tories. In parliament 9 years and never offered a job, tells you a lot.

That hardly makes him unusual. My weirdo: Julian Brazier MP.
