There was a Lib Dem to UKIP defection recently - Lancing Parish Council (seems to be a Party-based Parish Council!)

I don't know List, but I'd be willing to bet that the ' leadership' of Steve and Doris Martin in Lancing LibDems had something to do with her leaving
sent while on the move somewhere

Why would any party take an expense fiddler and someone who clearly cared more about fiddling the tax payer than his own job.

Even by your standards, you're behaving like an arsehole. Get a sense of proportion.

Without prejudice, and in no way endorsing Ian's description of Mr Parsons, UKIP does not seem too picky in its choice of defectors. I refer the Hon Member to the case of Cllr Silvester (Cheshire East).

Perhaps Armchair should remember the basic fact that the main reason for ianrobo's existence is to provide a standard of comparison, so that the rest of us can look down on him in smug satisfaction and remind ourselves of our normality and superiority compared with him. As a friendly warning, Ian, if you ever libel me, you will be living under Spaghetti junction in a tent before you can spell defamation.......which would probably be quite along time in your case.

Oh, so true....I've lived in rock-solid areas controlled by both Labour and Tory and have come across that for myself. You also get the sort of local councillor who isn't very party political but does a very good job in working for their ward voters and perhaps they are likey to wear party affiliation lightly There are a cpl of people in greater Manchester and Merseyside that are Tories but won't join us because there is no chance of winning. only a couple? I never understand this attitude. Having (like Mike) joined the Labour party in an area where it couldn't even win a council seat, it wouldn't make any difference to me where I was. And if you work at it and raise your profile, then it doesn't look so hopeless and other people might join and then.... etc

The reality is that many councillors are primarily community activists who are more interested in representing their constituencies and/or pushing particular hobbyhorse projects than either campaigning for a party or promoting a wider agenda. They join the locally dominant party because they see it as the best way to achieve their specific objectives, even if they are out of step with their wider political outlook.

www.accringtonobserver.co.uk/news/great-harwood-councillor-defects-ukip-6661452Ian Robinson elected as an Independent for Overton Ward on Hyndburn Borough Council in 2010. He intends to stand as a UKIP candidate this May but remains an Independent in the Independent group until then. I trust if reelected he will seek to chair the Judicial Committee (Private Hire and Hackney Carriage Licensing).

The geological work necessary is presently beyond the capacity of mankind. I also doubt anyone in UKIP wants to stop trading with European countries. If for no other reason than complete autarky has not been achieved in our island history, to the best of my knowledge. I wonder if Mark Senior can outline the scenario he envisaged in which this ward was not a Labour gain.

Only scenario in which it would not be a Labour gain is the same as in 2010 , no Labour candidate . Labour may ( unlikely ) have let Ian Robinson a free run again as an Independent but certainly not as UKIP .
