++The UK Independence Party won its first seat in parliament in Clacton-on-sea. A defector from the Conservative Party, Douglas Carswell won with 60% of the vote.
++UKIP is now the third biggest party in the UK, having surpassed the Liberal Democrats. UKIP has 14% of the electorate, while the Liberal Democrats imploded a few years ago and stand at 7%.
++UKIP stands a good chance of picking up two more seats next month.
