UKIP has no leader AGAIN!!

[missinggreenfields]

UKIP and Labour finally have something in common.

Not quite - UKIP had a leader who resigned because she didn't have the support of her colleagues.

No UKIP's leader wasn't completely unelectable.

Let's not be coy, they desperately want the mixed heritage chap to get the job as it completely counters the 'UKIP are racist' narrative.

it would help. At very least they want him in their shadow cabinet.

Farage back at the helm temporarily.

[saptastic]

Why are UKIP still going? Does anyone know?

Fair point - they should quit whilst they are ahead.

How many times is this that he's reunresigned?

Can't see them disbanding any time soon. The people clearly regard them as more valid than several other parties, given the number of votes cast for them at the last election. I think they should stay - keeps the far more sinister BNP marginalised while keeping other parties on their toes too.

Basically the man you cannot believe...

Nigel Farage has declared himself the interim leader of Ukip following the resignation of Diane James after just 18 days in the post.

Farage told the Press Association that he would not return as Ukip leader “for $10m”. Asked if he’d take $20m, he replied: “No I’m not coming back. I’m retired.”

As a UKIP member who voted for Diane James I'm a bit hacked off.

UKIP needs to get rid of the Carswells, Hamiltons and Duffys and reconnect with the membership. Too many fakers for me at the moment.

So they should elect a fat, heavily tattooed bloke from Teeside as leader, since that represents their voters?
