Rochester and Strood by-election, 2014

The Rochester and Strood by-election was a by-election for the UK parliamentary constituency of Rochester and Strood in Kent, England, held on 20 November 2014. The by-election was triggered when the sitting Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) Mark Reckless, left the Conservative Party and joined the UK Independence Party (UKIP). He resigned his seat in Parliament in order to seek re-election for his new party.
Reckless retained the seat, and polled 42.1% of the vote as the UKIP candidate. The Conservative Party came second with 34.8%, and Labour third with 16.8%. The other ten candidates lost their deposits, including the Liberal Democrats whose 0.87% vote share was a record low for them, and the lowest ever for a party in government.〔
This was the last by-election of the 2010-2015 Parliament.
==Background==
The constituency comprised the cathedral town of Rochester, Strood, parts of Chatham, Brompton, St Mary's Island as well as the rural Hoo Peninsula and outlying villages.〔(2010 post-revision map non-metropolitan areas and unitary authorities of England )〕
Reckless's announcement followed that of his parliamentary colleague and close friend,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BBC News - Conservative MP Mark Reckless defects to UKIP )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BBC News - Mark Reckless's journey from Tory rebel to UKIP recruit )Douglas Carswell, who defected to UKIP on 28 August 2014, resigning and subsequently being returned as MP for Clacton, in north Essex.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Clacton by-election to be held on 9 October )〕 On 27 September, at the UK Independence Party (UKIP) Annual Conference at Doncaster, which coincided with the eve of the Conservative Party Annual Conference, Reckless announced his plans to follow suit.〔 Carswell won the Clacton by-election (on 9 October 2014) with 59.7% of the vote.
Reckless had previously been recognized as one of the most malcontent Conservatives in the House of Commons, having led a rebellion of 53 Conservative MPs over the EU Budget which inflicted the first Commons defeat on the Con-LibDem Coalition Government.〔(Cameron Commons Defeat on EU Budget ) 31 October 2012〕
