His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain... -
Originally posted by Mordac View PostWell spotted. If he stands on behalf of another party (albeit one yet to be created) he'll still win enough % to get in. So the idea that he might still be an MEP, and him being a UKIP MEP are not necessarily compatible. And at no point did I say they were so.
Even if he does get a new party going, there’s a fair chance he would split the UKIP vote anyway.
And if it’s a one-man party (and even with other candidates in the party, let’s be honest, the others would all be anonymous nobodies) we can’t forget the 7-attempts-7-failures that he’s had to become an MP.
Whatever happens, it will be interesting to watch :-)Comment

Originally posted by meridian View PostI’m not so sure about that. A new party on his own? Not much time to get a full party PR bandwagon behind him, but I don’t doubt that he’d get a bit of a push from some friendly “businessmen” to pay for it.
