UKIP Dissected

The following is a posting from an internet discussion group devoted to fighting the EU:

As a new subscriber to Eurofaq I fail to understand why so much space is devoted to the affairs of the United Kingdom Independence Party. It may have been a good idea to set it up a decade ago, but today it is simply politically irrelevant. No one votes for it; the media ignore it; and it has nothing to say about British political affairs. Indeed, apart from its obsession with re-electing its obviously low-grade MEPs, it merely indulges its other obsession, which is for NEC members to sue or threaten to sue one another with monotonous regularity. And what a bunch they are! Their grasp of finance and their organisational skills are at a level below even those of Brussels. If they really wanted to get their act together for 2004 they would surcharge their incompetent and autocratic chairman for his unauthorised overspend of £60,000 at the Scottish and Welsh elections and force their idiot MEPs to contribute most of their inflated salaries to the party. In fact all candidates in the Euro-elections should be forced to sign a declaration stating that if elected they would donate at least half their salaries to the party.

But why even bother about this political freak-show? May I suggest that you simply stop mentioning it and in this way pay due tribute to the politically brain-dead?

I for one will search the net for a discussion forum where European issues can be discussed intelligently.
