That kind of nonsense and scaremongering is not 'responsible' politics.
I actually agree with Livia that all the main parties have made a mess of dealing with immigration, that is why I wish it was removed from the political football scenario it holds at present.
That a concensus between the 2/3 main parties as to a firm but fair immmigration policy becomes the norm and is allowed continuity ,no matter what colour govt. gets elected.
However,the claim has always been that Labour MPs will defect and I see no likelihood of that happening, not to UKIP, there is nothing at all about UKIP that the general Labour voter or Labour politician should, in my view, be comfortable with.
Indeed there is nothing there either for the many decent Conservative MPs too.
So again, no, I am not going to worry at this local politician and former mayor defecting to UKIP, I dare bet in fact that the Conservative party wish instead of 2 of its MPs defecting to UKIP,that in fact only 2 councillors or former Mayors had.
All UKIP can do is bang on about immigration, making it sound ugly and a main contribution to anything that goes wrong in the UK.
That is a false representation as to immigration in my view and it is time UKIP were exposed for the dangers they will bring to many in society were they ever to get any great foothold in Westminster.
Scapegoating should not be any part of decent politics, it is time all the main parties, admitted great mistakes they have all made, Labour in their 13 years in power and now this Coalition failing to reach anything like the targets they themselves set.
So for goodness sake Cameron and Miliband realise neither of you have the right idea as to this issue on your own and work things out better.
Set out to ignore UKIP, who can only use immigration to frighten and divide Briton against immigrant.
A truly shocking way to behave for any party in the 21st century in the UK.
Both the main parties and their leaders should stop being frightened by UKIP and take them on,exposing every rotten thing about them and as to what likely the bulk of them really think and want to see done too.

where are your FACTS? WHEN YOU WRONGLY CLAIM UKIP EXAGGERATE IMMIGRATION? would YOU put a numbers limit or are you too ducking the question like these spineless politicians? ukip exist simply to illustrate the failure of all parties. when the parties finally address the problems honestly with long term policies then ukip will gladly disappear. they know theyre not a long term party. farage has said so. hes here to shake things up in the uk and in europe and hes doing a fantastic job of it too
