The next UKIP leader thread

Has Neil Hamilton been in the party long enough? He seems like a likely choice.

Yes, I'm sure those posters showing migrants from outside of the uk queuing up to come here really help changed the mind of the retarded ukip supporters (or I'd say around 90% of their supporters )

I'm not a UKIP supporter (and also voted Remain). But to tar 90% of a party's suppoters with that brush just shows a lack of understanding of why people were voting for their policies.

I welcome a wide variety of parties in the country; from the mainstream conservatives, labiur and liberals through to the more outlying parties like the greens and UKIP. Having a choice makes us a more democratic place to live in.

I don't know any UKIP members, maybe Nick Griffin could take over? I mean I like bulldogs, not too hot on the xenophobia but you can't have everything can you?

Bore off, sick of all you lefties banging that same drum. Absolutely out of touch with half the population.

Why would anyone be bothered with UKIP now we are brexiting.
Andi.

Exactly... aside from maybe trying to influence some minor tweaks to the deal (over which they really don't have any influence in reality) the party is rather redundant now - thus I'm rather baffled by the criticism of Farage for stepping down after achieving what he sent out to achieve in the first place, there really is no point to UKIP any more.

No, this is UKIP. UKIP got 12% of the vote in the last election. That's about an eighth of the population.

Anyone who has been a member of the BNP is not allowed to join UKIP.

And how many people voted out of the EU?

And what is UKIP's main agenda?

Haha, keep your hair on.

No matter what happens from here on out, he's accomplished more than any other politician in decades. He's literally on the level of Churchill at this point, people just don't understand it yet.

I'd like to see Nigel organise anything more than a trip to the pub, never mind a world war. Let's face it, Nigel had no genuine responsibility, he led a one policy party and really had very little to answer for.

CorrectHorseBattery · 11 Jul 2016 at 16:03

Ukip is a one-issue party. They should disband.

[TW]Fox · 11 Jul 2016 at 16:03

I thought the job was done so UKIP can disband?

Otherwise why did Farage quit?

That, however was not the case originally

Greebo · 11 Jul 2016 at 16:04

UKIP still going to go on? The man with all the money behind them has pulled all his funding and is forming a new party. Kind of assuming UKIP would just die without money,

And was that the case, originally, for all other parties?

and when he did have things to answer he ran away and quit.

Exactly.

Not all those who disagree with the hard right of British politics are "lefties", and not anything all those who voted leave support UKIP.

The bulk of the population are still in the centre i.e. they're not Corbynista or Farage fan boys.

Most are also pretty horrified at the extreme politics vote Leave seems to have given credence too.

Cosimo · 11 Jul 2016 at 16:10

They're a waste of space now so need to be disbanded.

But leaving the EU is a historical milestone for the UK and for the EU.

And we would not have had this referendum had it not been for Nigel Farage. He fought for this result for the best part of 30 years and imo and many others rightfully deserves recognition!

Sir Nigel Farage!
