Three Lib Dem councillors defect to UKIP

Three Lib Dem councillors in Somerset have defected to UKIP.

Cllrs Adrian Dobinson, Sharon Snook and Derek Tanswell will stand for re-election to Somerset County Council, Mendip District Council and Frome Town Council next month as UKIP candidates.

Cllr Dobinson, who will lead the UKIP group on the council, said:
The Liberal Democrat group is dysfunctional and unable to co-ordinate an opposition group on the council, let alone run the council if it should win.

Mendip is an appallingly-run council and we have been shocked at some of the things we are uncovering in the council.

No they won't be standing for Somerset County Council as there is no election. All those who voted in Tanswell as a Lib Dem at County now have a UKIP Councillor. Is this right? No, there should be a bye election.

Defection? Are we sure its not infiltration, the Liberal Democrat ethos is so very different?
