They now need to join up with a party and change the name if they are to keep going or as I have already said they will close in a few weeks time.

Good morning Vic. When you left by the back door, which out of courtesy to the forum I will not mention why you got your marching orders.
After you received 114 votes in the KCC elections and left UKIP in 2013.You said UKIP would fold.
Wrong then.Wrong now.

You can say what you like about how I left .The blues had the right person for that job still there today.
I was not going to stand but knowing UKIP had the wrong person for Dover West ,All I wanted to do is stop him and that is what happen my few votes helped the blues get in and that is what I set out to do.UKIP got rid of me for doing it. So what.? I did not say UKIP would fold then but I am saying it now.

By way of a change it is Labour in Thanet causing a storm with social media comments.

I see Farage is saying he wants the membership to have a bigger say on policy ,I don’t see this happening he even stopped the members having a forum .
And no change on the membership having a vote on council candidates.

This time last year it was the local elite that selected council candidates which was bound to upset members. I notice that their support manager stood and won in St Radigundslast week as an independent.

Absolutely disgraceful, if true they have to go, no room at any level of politics for people like this.

Labour and the other established parties being run out of the valleys, no doubt the Welsh voters will be told they have got it all wrong though.

This UKIP poster has stirred up controversy with the official leave group distancing themselves from it.

What happens with UKIP now? The sole reason for their existence has been to get a referendum which they have succeeded in doing. Farage will want to stay in politics as in two years time he will lose a cushy lifestyle as an MEP.

Farrage will leave to become a Tory Lord and part of the next Cabinet. UKIP will continue to plod on but lose all their deposits at the next election before going into oblivion. That's my prediction!
