UKIP is Uncovered

Events since the results of the European elections of 10th June have finally revealed the true construct, nature and objectives of the party.

POWER STRUCTURE

Conclusion: The party is run and completely controlled by Nigel Farage MEP. The NEC is a toothless ineffectual group under Farage and his acolytes' complete control.

Proof: On top of all the other evidence in this blog - on the arrival of the 12 MEPs in Brussels, a new Group was formed and Farage was announced as Co-President with Jens-Peter Bonde former leader of the EDD Group. Among the twelve MEPs were the supposed leader of UKIP, Roger Knapman and its Deputy Leader Mike Nattrass. What other political party would thus by-pass its two supposed leaders in such a manner when deciding its parliamentary leadership?

OBJECTIVES

Conclusion: To get as many of Farage's personal friends and cabal members as possible on board the European Parliamentary gravy train.

Proof: Ashley Mote was in court on criminal fraud charges the day following the election. Piers Merchant, disgraced MP, (failed MEP candidate due to Farage's manipulations) is appointed Party Chief Executive (as party-crippling consolation). The MEP candidate lists in various regions were manipulated and two regional committees arbitrarily disbanded in the process.

ANTI-EU POLICIES ARE CAMOUFLAGE!!!

Conclusion: They have no desire to make an impact in the UK parliament and refuse to run a by-election candidate.

Proof: It is a basic fact of British politics, with its first past the post system, that third or minor parties, independents, nationalists etc., best opportunity for getting into Westminster or establishing a presence are from mid-term by-elections in the constituencies of an unpopular governing party. Two such were announced this week, UKIP has already declared it will not run in one nor support its chief political asset, born in the constituency to be contested in the other. Ridiculously after the recent European campaign cost is cited as an excuse.

UKIP IS NIGEL FARAGE AND VICE VERSA

Conclusion: The Chief Conspirator is undeniably revealed

Proof: Three events: the high profile and success of Robert Kilroy-Silk; the timing by Labour of the by-elections; and the need to cement his Brussels power base for the next five years - have combined to force Farage into the open. This became obvious when his chief fixer - non-party member Greg Lance-Watkins (one time party leadership election fixer read here) launched his recent personal attack on Kilroy.

FINAL CONCLUSION

UKIP NEC and Party Members cannot ignore these facts. If they remain within the party while continuing under the complete control of Nigel Farage and his shady followers, they will be unable to continue the pretence of representing euro-scepticism for very long.

The purpose of Farage's power base remains unclear. In the early years of his political activities these were suspected to be the same as various far right parties? Can we be sure that they too were not mere pawns in the advancement of his own strictly personal ambitions? To answer or state more would necessarily involve guesswork. What is certain as the events of the past few years have shown, dramatically confirmed in the past couple of weeks - Britain's retrieval of its sovereignty from the EU is a complete irrelevance to Nigel Farage MEP.

UKIP's financial backers now carry the greatest responsibility in resolving these problems. Farage has his funds and power base secured for a further five years, courtesy of the supposed greatest enemy of UKIP - the institutions of the EU. Nobody should make the mistake of now believing that Nigel Farage is on their side if they are against the further encroachments of the EU!

FARAGE IS EURO-SCEPTICISM'S DEADLIEST FOE - AND IF UKIP REMAINS UNDER HIS THUMB - SO TOO IS THAT PARTY!
