Piers Merchant

The disgraced ex-Conservative MP, Piers Merchant's appointment has been confirmed as Party Chief Executive according to a report on Page 12 of yesterday's Guardian. This small item appeared at the end of an article regarding the resignation of the SNP leader and did not seem to appear in the paper's electronic edition and therefore cannot be linked from the blog.

We had been informed that a new member of the UKIP NEC, was claiming our report of the temporary appointment of this totally unsuitable individual, was incorrect and that no such decision had been taken by the NEC. According to the newspaper item the appointment has been confirmed by the party though the spokesperson is not identified.

The lesson that neither the UKIP NEC, nor indeed the party itself, operates as other such bodies, is one that must be painfully learned by all newcomers. Reform seems impossible - let voters beware!
