UKIP candidate Diane James a little too serious to become MP? Claire Khaw is a bit of a comedienne ...

Defeated Conservative candidate looks completely out of it as she is being bundled out of the polling station.  Hope she is OK.  Her party certainly isn't.

If UKIP are thinking they have done well, let me tell them now that it is far too early to be complacent at being second.

UKIP - always too little too late and prone to premature complacency.

They need the white heat of Claire Khaw in their party to propel them into the forefront of British politics.

If they are not sure if the British voter would take to her they should commission a YouGov poll.
