// Ukip defections surge in local election threat to Tories
Ukip has gained more than 30 council seats in just three months in worrying sign for the Conservative Party's local election prospects.
It has attracted more than 20 council defectors from the Conservatives since the beginning of the year - a rate of more than one a week. It has also taken councillors off the several Liberal Democrats and some independent parties.
However, Nigel Farage, the Ukip leader, has been attracting crowds of hundreds of people on his "Common Sense" tour of market towns across Britain.
Cllr Peter Reeve, Ukip local government spokesman said: "There is no longer anywhere in the country where a Ukip vote fails to make a difference. We are winning councillors through our ideas and winning seats through our hard work." //
With the right wing vote splitting, do you think Labour will get a landslide of new councillors in May?
