Tory (Conservative) MP defects to Ukip )UK's tea party)
A hand grenade has been thrown into David Cameron's general election campaign after the Eurosceptic Tory MP Douglas Carswell defected to Ukip, triggering an early byelection.
A leading member of the new generation of Tory Eurosceptics who has campaigned openly for a British exit from the EU, Carswell said he had endured sleepless nights in the runup to his decision, which was prompted by the prime minister's failure to deliver change in the EU.
Criticising the Tories for failing to deliver change, Carswell said: "They are not serious about real change. It's above all the failure to deliver on the promise of political reform that has driven me to be here today.
"Europe's the one continent on the globe that is not growing
yet who in Westminster, who among our so-called leaders, is prepared to envisage real change?"

We all know what kind of 'real change' tea party-style politicians are pushing for.
