It gets to the point where you have to take anyone willing to stand in that area. UKIP being a small and virtually untested party suffer more than most when it comes to attracting suitable candidates.

Nice to see you back...I expect it feels positively arctic in comparison.

I've caught a cold already. LOL

Surely it cant be too hard for Ukip to find suitable candidates before they tarnish their reputation all by them selves. The quality of their candidates is seriously undermining this campaign and will possibly affect future campaigns. .
