Mark John Reckless is a British politician who was elected as the Member of Parliament for Rochester and Strood at the 2010 general election. He was elected as the candidate of the Conservative Party; on 27 September 2014 he announced that he had joined the UK Independence Party and would resign his seat to seek re-election. While a Conservative MP, Reckless was noted for his rebelliousness; he cast 56 votes against the whip between 2010 and 2014, making him the 13th most rebellious Conservative in the period. He led a rebellion of 53 Conservative MPs on the EU Budget, which inflicted the first House of Commons defeat on the Coalition government. He was also a member of the Home Affairs Select Committee. [More at Wikipedia]
