As another labour councillor defects to UKIP it shows just how far labour must have strayed from its founding principles to contain the type of people in elected positions who could even contemplate such a shift. Theres always been a right wing element within the party but a shift to UKIP is either careerist pandering to the perceived daily mail popularist viewpoint that the masses are all racist or alternatively that the individuals concerned have always held such anti worker, racist homophobic narrow minded bigoted views. Either way its a worrying trend.
