    Congratulations to Charlie Elphicke, and to the Conservative Party in Dover for a job very well done. In the end Charlie won on merit with a sizeable majority that reflects a good deal of time and effort spent well.

    I know that Vic is disappointed with his 1,747 votes and I think is being hard on himself. All his UKIP team have worked very hard in supporting him, and in the end I believe the EU issue was overshadowed by the disastrous state of the economy; inevitably this will have led to a diminished vote for the party that was standing on this issue.

    Who knows? If some form of PR is the legacy of the 2010 election, then votes cast for the 'minority' parties will have a greater effect in future elections; if so, then a vote cast for UKIP in the future will have a greater bearing on the outcome, which has to be welcomed.
