Resigned Tory MP Confirmed as NE MEP Lead Candidate

As predicted in our post of 8th March linked from here, the former Tory MP for Beckenham, Piers Merchant, who was forced to resign from Parliament following a tabloid sex scandal, has now been selected by UKIP as their Lead MEP Candidate in the North East.

How is it that UKIP selects someone to lead a regional campaign who has been rejected as unfit by those against whom it seeks to compete?

The UKIP North East activists are nearly all now working for the campaign of former metric martyr and now leader of the battle against the North East Regional Assembly, Neil Herron, (Click here to visit Neil's Campaign Web Site) as is this Blog and almost all of the former UKIP MEP candidates for that region, many of whom resigned in disgust over the disgraceful tactics of UKIP in the region. The true character of the party's original preferred candidate, Peter Troy, may be glimpsed from the post immediately below, as may the animosity the contest still engenders in some!
