Ex-Tory MP Rod Richards joins UKIP

Rod Richards' journey from Conservative to disgruntled voter chimes with UKIP's strategy.
He says he's fed up with the established political parties and gave up voting Tory years ago.
UKIP hopes to hoover up voters who feel the same - voters who feel its bigger rivals, particularly the Tories, no longer speak on their behalf.
He had a turbulent career as a politician. Might he have a second political career with UKIP?
There could be a vacancy next year when current UKIP MEP for Wales John Bufton stands down.
Mr Richards has little to say about his ambitions, although he has promised to be an "active member"
