Former Ukip candidates defects to Conservatives
Elliot Nichols who was a former Tory councillor who defected to Ukip in March 2013, has now defected back.
He said his decision to come back into the Tory fold was an effort to recifty a “grave error of judgement” and that a vote for Nigel Farage’s party would increase the change of a Labour victory.
In a statement Elliot Nichols said: “Two years ago I left the Conservative Party and joined UKIP. I switched with high hopes. Since then events – especially in recent months – have convinced me that this was a grave error of judgement.
“I made a mistake – a big one – and today I am proud to rectify it.”
