Howard, I have been very pleased lately how Gov. has been handling some very importrant issues.
It so happens that official UKIP proclaims at least some of the issues that are present in the proposed localism bill.
And Gov's freezing of the Trident nuclear submarine development and of increased warplane production, and the scrapping of Nimrod, are very important points that I believe in whole-heartedly.
Under no circumstance would I go around now campaigning against the Tories and risking that they lose a majority in favour of New Labour, which I consider to have abandoned original Labour ideals concerning working rights.
As for UKIP, I never managed to make headwas with my many proposals on local or national issues, so I did not abandon UKIP. One recent email from UKIP to local chairmen, of which I received a copy from Vic, stated that local UKIP chairmen may present proposals in policy making to the head-office.
So let the chairman do that then! But I did offer to help in UKIP!
I believe that a local chairman should be elected by the party members of the area, after presenting a set of proposals, and that other members should also be allowed to be candidates as chairman, after presenting their candidacy and proposals, for ALL other members to be informed, so that each member knows what each candidate has to offer. Nigel Fargae was elected as national leader of UKIP after each member of UKIP received a letter with the names of the candidates.
I also receivd one, and voted for Nigel. This is democratic
I never received any invitation to vote for a local UKIP chairman in Dover and Deal though. I doubt many have!
That is not my view of democracy.
