          @annie250216 I agree completely. @DouglasCarswell should have stood down at the general election. I'm not pro EU but did not vote for UKIP.

          @BBCBreaking @DouglasCarswell Very disappointed you've joined UKIP. Helps labour get into power. UKIP may be no more than a protest vote.

          @BBCBreaking Not sure how constituents who voted Tory will view this - and I can see a split anti-EU vote hurting both parties at election.
