A Tory within weeks, any by-elections coming up soon?
He’s been the biggest thorn in their side for years now, they had to make huge changes to their manifesto and public pledges to try to side-step UKIP at the last election and it was mostly mathatical luck that stopped them gaining 10, 20 or even more seats.
If the Tory’s pull him in as their in-house Euro skeptic nutjob they pretty much nullify them – he could say something like “blah blah blah, job done, now ready to be part of a mainstream party I can work with blah blah blah”.
That or Yew Tree want a word, it just seems odd to me.
