    Well to be fair, UKIP head-office requires that candidates for elections be sincere and want to be elected. However, a plan to flood the ballot box papers with a host of paper candidates in Dover could not pull off. It would have meant that confused voters would be putting crosses for people who had no intention of being elected, but just aiming for a 10% or so of votes.

    The result would have been that any close race between Tory and Labour candidates would have been unfairly decided in favour of the latter. UKIP head-office has nothing to do with this.

    Such conduct could potentially have trurned our Council administrations upside down, and it wouldn't be fair on the people who voted either. However I don't think there were any people prepared to stand as paper candidates.

    I wouldn't advise anyone to stand as a paper candidate, as the destinies of local and national Government should not be joked around with!
