Stuart Wheeler in talks with 8 potential defectors

Party Treasurer, Stuart Wheeler, has told the Telegraph that he has had secret meetings with 8 Tory MPs who wanted to talk to him about defecting to UKIP.

No names have been mentioned and Wheeler is sworn to secrecy but he did say that the details of all eight were passed on to Nigel Farage and that it was likely that "a few" could be persuaded to jump ship.

All that is needed to break the stranglehold of the 2½ party system is for a couple of MPs to grow a pair and jump ship, showing the electorate that UKIP is credible and capable of challenging the cosy LibLabCon death grip on the democratic process.

Getting Stuart Wheeler on board really was one of Farage's best achievements.
