As predicted the UK Independence Party (UKIP), has its second elected MP at Westminster after Mark Reckless wins the Rochester and Strood by-election by 2,920 votes.

I wonder if other MP's who are disenchanted with their parties current policies - will now jump ship? obviously some voters are not very happy with government policies.

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

Smaller margin than predicted, I wonder if the bubble is bursting and people beginning to realise the Emperor is wearing no clothes.

Researching:
Lowestoft and North Suffolk, Monmouthshire, Breconshire, Somerset

It would be nice to see a few UKIP 'home-grown' candidates getting elected rather than depending on other party defectors.

Dermot - whether they can do that only time will tell and that may be more difficult than Nigel Farage thinks.

Guinevere - hopefully and when it comes to the general election I think many will fall back on the old maxim....better the devil you know ;-)
