Disqualified UKIP MEP Candidate Launches Appeal

The candidate disqualified by the party apparatchiks for inconveniently pointing out adverse press comment being drawn by the party in the North East region where he had been requested to run, has now launched his appeal against his disqualification. Details can not, of course, be provided here as matters must proceed with the deepest secrecy as is the norm for everything that happens at the heart of the party. Cynics may argue that the result has already been predetermined given the decision by the powers that be to proceed with the postal ballot regardless of the fact that an appeal might be launched.

The last two paragraphs of the appeal, that do not bear on the substance of the matter (if indeed there is any), should be quoted here as they bear so directly on the topic of this debate:-

Quote
It is my opinion that my disqualification serves mainly to stain the reputation of UKIP and if it is allowed to stand, will live to tarnish the reputation of the Party throughout the forthcoming European Parliamentary campaign.

I await with interest news of the manner in which this appeal will be handled, in the faint hope that somewhere at the centre of the party, there might exist one or two individuals with some sense of what it means to act correctly, with decency and even perhaps some sense of honour.
