Lynn and
West Norfolk decided to join the party. The result of this

makes UKIP the third largest party on the Council. This is a huge
boost
to UKIP's presence in the Eastern Region.
The Councillors include two former mayors of King's Lynn, a former
chairman of the local Conservative Association and a former treasurer of the
same association. This will be a major blow to the local Conservatives as they
face a tough general election and borough contests next May. North West Norfolk
is already a target seat for UKIP in next year's general election and this
development adds to the aim of UKIP to make them the largest party on the
Borough Council after next May's elections.
Nigel Farage, UKIP Party Leader said: "To have so many Councillors coming over to us in one go is very exciting for UKIP and for North West Norfolk. These individuals have realised that the old parties have forsaken the interests of the British people. I commend them for having the courage to stand up for their beliefs. UKIP now has all to play for in the May elections at both Borough and Parliamentary level."
