Wolfe is unlikely to be a good party leader. It's clear he was abandoning the party for his own career reasons to rejoin the Tories until to possibility of taking over became a reality. Hardly the action of a loyal UKIPer.

If Farage can keep the party together what's wrong with the other hopeful wimps ?

UKIP are responsible for the Government holding a referendum which resulted in the 'Leave' vote. That will have a profound effect on the UK's future. I still think it will may well have the consequence of splitting Scotland from the rest of the UK. That in my opinion would be nothing short of a calamity.

[EDDIE51]

OG there is no such thing as a Loyal 'UKIPER' The entire party is a disparate bunch of misfits, nonentity's, refugees, rogues and miscreants from other parties. Each has their own agenda to pursue which is different from all the others.

[EDDIE51]

divebuddy you are as well aware as any of us that Cameron only called the referendum because he thought, incorrectly. that UKIP would win a substantial number of seats. He wanted to outmaneuver them and it misfired spectacularly !

[ToraToraTora]

"....The entire party is a disparate bunch of misfits, nonentity's, refugees, rogues and miscreants..." - and that's what it took to extricate us from the quagmire of corruption that is the EU, so beloved of the anti British that it took that assortment to get us out of it.

TTT....I accept that UKIP scared an awful lot of people into voting LEAVE. But that is now done and I for one are putting it behind me. The battle is over, and
it can't be fought again.

There is still no need for UKIP whatsoever. They can't stay in a stable state for more than a few days at a time, as the events of the last 2-3 weeks have shown. They are a shambles.

You say that they will disband soon but where is the evidence for that ?

Even as we debate this tonight, they are plotting in smoke filled rooms to see who will be the next 5 minute Leader.

[ToraToraTora]

Once we are out of the EU they must disband, how can you have a UK independence party when we are actually independent? The millions of supporters will get absorbed into the Tories and get on with thrashing the pants of the dysfunctional labour party.

It certainly would be for Scotland. Luckily they didn't have a clause in the first referendum that allowed them another one if summat or other happend in the UK.

[agchristie]

I said before James was elected leader that Paul Nuttal was their best hope and I still believe that.

Mikey to TTT, //You say that they will disband soon but where is the evidence for that ? //

Earlier on you said "RIP UKIP". Make your mind up.

[naomi24]

jno, //is Nigel going to give up the Eurojob, then? //

Doubt it at the moment - but eventually the job will no longer exist.

[Gromit]

There is work for UKIP to do. Overseeing Brexit and holding the Government to account that they are delivering Referendum voters wishes.
Unfortunately they are cursed by having some very mediocre people vying to lead it.
First there is Neil Hamilton. A disgraced crook who asked questions for the dodgy foreigner, Mohamed Al Fayed for cash. Then there is the terrible Welsh looney I cannot be bothered to look up the name of. And Woolfe who couldn't even get his application in on time, and then has failed to step up now.

So after delivering a referendum, and a Brexit vote, it looks like UKIP are going to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Consigned to be a footnote in history afterall.

Gromit, much as I hate to admit it, I think you are right.

[ToraToraTora]

Gromit "So after delivering a referendum, and a Brexit vote, it looks like UKIP are going to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

As you rightly say, the'll stay together to ensure we do actually brexit, then disband. Despite what limbo he chooses to be in Nigel is really the leader anyway, the leader on paper is largely irrelevant.

/// To paraphrase Annie Hall...."a political Party is like a shark, it has to constantly move forward or it dies, and what we have here, is a dead shark" ///

RIP The Labour Party.

Since that is the party that refuses to move forward under it's present leader.

[ToraToraTora]

well Labour are moving backwards AOG!

[anotheoldgit]

UKIP told the British people what they wanted to hear, which made a change from the lies and deceit they had come to expect from the other parties.

Now they have become accustomed to that freedom, they are not going to rest until another party comes along to give them what they want.

But be careful, perhaps the next party to rise from the ashes will not be as tolerant as UKIP was.

"But be careful, perhaps the next party to rise from the ashes will not be as tolerant as UKIP was. "

Now that IS a scary thought! The Godfrey Blooms, Mike Hookems et al of this world just too tolerant ...
