Farage: What would UKIP want to do post-election deal?
The UK Independence Party has secured its second directly-elected MP winning the Rochester and Strood by-election in Kent.
The Conservatives were pushed into second place whilst support for Labour and the Liberal Democrats plunged.
In an exclusive interview, UKIP leader Nigel Farage told the BBC's Nick Robinson that the number of seats UKIP could win in next year's general elections has "probably doubled".
He went on to talk about what the party might want to see if in a position to do a deal in a hung parliament after the 2015 election.
