Reform has local councillor defect to Tories

Just seen this on line this morning. I'm guessing this maybe the first time that the defection has been in that direction.

Dozens more have turned "independent" after falling out with local leadership or the party hierarchy. The situation in Kent looks pretty chaotic.

@SunshineGirl I think this will be the pattern since it is a party unified only by general disaffection and a love of NF's simplistic 'solutions' to complex problems. There are egos a-plenty battling each other for a bit of power.

@FreddieUK I hope that Feb-March next year will be a turning point when voters discover that there was very little fat to trim in local government after all and essential services still need to be funded. Not that this will make increases in Council Tax any easier, but it may take some of the wind out of Farage's sails.

@SunshineGirl Agree 100%
