Hodge Hill By-election gets dirty for Labour and LibDems

This report from icBirmingham linked here highlights just how desperately an independent is now needed to contest the major 'party politics as usual' already underway - at least among those parties having the desire to partake in the destiny of this country.

This news emerges as UKIP tries to claim that the decision was taken by a non-constitutional new Committee of five strategists, though this has all the marks of a panic response to lend legitimacy to an arbitrary 'Farage fix' made some time ago. No such Committee was reported as in existence or decision or recommendation has been mentioned in the reports first emanating from the NEC. If there were any truth in the report now posted on the UKIP website, why has been thus so long delayed, and what point was served by the Hartlepool presentation to the NEC?

The registration of a candidate is possible until Friday. Why does the cabal not break with tradition and for once reverse itself with an admission that changed factors now justify a changed approach. The parachuting in of an unpopular candidate by New Labour and the widespread problems of the LibDem candidate as covered in the linked report, must make this a cherry ripe for picking. Come on change your minds to err is human I will not crow, just offer every support!
