The Loony party would stop all by-elections being held 9 months before a general election.
The cost of a by election is estimated at around £240,000. Mark Reckless who is sanding for UKIP could have waited a mere 7 months until the next election to defect. However as part of the plan to upset the political system and gain unwarranted publicity for UKip, he decided to defect now…Reckless by name, and reckless by nature. Ukip are quick to complain of the financial waste caused by the European Parliament, but seem quite happy to waste money from the U.K Government, (twice this year) which I point out is your tax money. When your services are being cut due to lack of money think about this total waste which could have funded something worthwhile. Dont waste your vote (The by-election is going to happen anyway). Show them your discontent with the political system, by voting for the Loony Party. You know this makes sense.
