What motivates the leaders of the United Kingdom Independence Party?

Have the Geriatrics forgotten an EU Manifesto?

Have the old fellas who are leading UKIP into the coming European Parliamentary elections had a 'senior moment'? Should UKIP's candidate in the East Midlands actually win, presumably by keeping his electors in complete ignorance of the character flaws he has displayed over the recent past as Chairman of UKIP's disciplinary panel, he would be 76 when his term reached an end. The Eastern Region candidate, assuming he had not immediately retired on gaining election (which is rumoured to be his intent), would only be a couple of years behind at 74. Mike Nattrass in the West Midlands and now apparently running everything outside the South East and London is also no spring chicken!

We wonder if that might explain the apparent absence of any specific EU Election Manifesto emerging so far. The poster campaign has been launched , but where are the policies??

I have been corrected by one close to most official party decision making during recent years, that it has not just been the last few months during which the party has been obsessed with the European elections, apparently it has been more like the past two years.

I would, therefore, have expected to see some very glossy document informing us precisely 'what' as a "party", UKIP's targeted 10 MEPs are expecting to achieve in the next five years in Brussels and Strasbourg (with or without their wheelchairs or zimmer frames)!
