What a farce, just confirms what everyone knew already that they are a one man party and nothing more, and so much for all his professions of sincerity when he said he would resign. I don't think a lot of Ukip members even will be happy about this and particularly not Douglas Carswell who was arguing today that they were more than a one man band.

I always thought Nigel would be re elected anyway, so it just cuts out the farce and expense of an election. UKIP only seems to have one socially acceptable spokesman in the form of Nigel, but it doesnt really matter. Come the next election, UKIP will be a dead party as their purpose for being will have evaporated.

Well I guess this was the plan all along, rejected his resignation if he really wanted to resign he would, a man of his word

I expected him to still be the UKIP leader after an election anyway.

LOL, how "convenient". I bet this wasn't discussed as being the likely plan before he announced he would step down. Definitely wouldn't have been discussed even a little. And I bet he really did take "a lot of convincing" not to step down.
I'm starting to really despair. What an absolute circus. |

"The consequences of me failing to secure a seat for myself in the Commons would be significant for both myself and the party. It is frankly just not credible for me to continue to lead the party without a Westminster seat...was I supposed to brief UKIP policy from the Westminster Arms? No - if I fail to win South Thanet, it is curtains for me. I will have to step down"

What a farce.
However, this was the election he had to break through in really, with a Labour party not doing anything like it should have, the Lib Dems totally crushed. UKIP should have easily hit around 17/18% of the votes. Next time the EU issue will be likely settled,there will be little need for UKIP at all in 2020. Nothing to make them stand out at all by then. In this situation with the Conservatives attaining 36% of the votes,Labour around 32%,if he couldn't capitalise on that, then with 2 new leaders in place and a new one for the Lib Dems too. He and his party are probably going to look the outdated one by 2020. |

Great news. Nigel has been a breath of fresh fag smoke to counter career political drones like clegg and miliband. Mind you the lady deputy Suzanne Evans is also very good.
And yes livia if only the libdems or labour had someone so skilled All they can do is scrabble around stabbing each other in the back if its a farce you are after just watch the labour fight for power. Lol |

Really pleased to hear this, hopefully Mr Farage will stay on and lead the Party from the front where he belongs.
As UKIP were second in 118 seats it is possible that a bye-election might give a another chance to become an MP, or maybe the Govt will be defeated in the coming Months and the General Election may be run again. Either way Mr Farage is too good a Politician to just walk away at the moment.

I knew he would'nt leave.He recently said in a documentary that he planned to spep down in 2030.
Good for him.If we leave the EU in 2017 then i think there will be no need for a UKIP.If we stay in however then there certainly will be a need and Nigel will still have a place in politics. As the EU oppression gets worse and more of our powers are handed over then the people will wake up and UKIP may stand a chance. |
