Mark Reckless MP bookies' favourite to defect to UKIP

Conservative MP, Mark Reckless, is odds on favourite to follow Douglas Carswell's lead and defect to UKIP.

Reckless is the MP for Rochester & Strood and the bookies have him as 3/1 favourite to ditch the useless Tories and join the people's army.

It's not beyond the realms of possibility that more Tory MPs will defect to UKIP but if it does happen it's certainly not going to be before they see whether Carswell successfully defends his seat.
