BRITAIN'S anti-European Union (EU) UK Independence Party (UKIP) won its first seat in the House of Commons on Friday, sending jitters through Prime Minister David Cameron's Conservatives seven months before what is likely to be a tight general election.
Conservative defector Douglas Carswell's victory in the seaside town of Clacton came as UKIP also narrowly lost out on a shock victory in a second by-election on Thursday in Heywood and Middleton, traditionally a stronghold of the main opposition Labour party.
