I don't consider him important in the slightest, but he did trigger a crucial byelection by which Labour will be measured.
What would have destroyed Labour would have been to be caught between UKIP and Lib Dems. The combined effect of these two helping the Tories take Labour seats, or taking Labour seats themselves, would have caused Labour to lose a lot of seats at the next general election.
Anyway, we'll see how the political climate develops when the byelection votes are in.
Trust me, I'm not an expert. :)
