UKIP to be known for 'SEX AND SLEAZE'?

Piers Merchant, yet one more disgraced and resigned ex-Tory MP associated with the UKIP cabal, is this morning being reported to be UKIP's new Chief Executive. Refresh your memories as to why this man should never have been allowed to represent the party, let alone run it from our post of 8th March linkedfrom here,
and this titled 'Resigned Tory MP Confirmed as NE MEP Lead Candidate' of 29th April 2004 linked here. A press summary of the scandal may be read from here.

After the Mail on Sunday disclosures about Nigel Farage's lifestyle in Brussels in the closing days of the European Elections campaign it seems the party positively courts a reputation as being a refuge for roues!

The following illustrates the disastrous electoral results of the ridiculous decision apparently TO SABOTAGE THE CANDIDATURE OF DECENT CANDIDATES IN THE NORTH EAST SO THAT THIS SCANDAL-SOILED FAILURE COULD BE PARACHUTED IN! Is the same damage now to be wrought upon the entire party across the whole country? WITH SUCH AN INDIVIDUAL MADE PARTY CHIEF EXECUTIVE, that seems certain to be the result. Hera are the voting figures in the North East for the past two elections which illustrate Merchant's lack of impact.

10th June 2004
Lab 266,057 (34.09%)
C 144,969 (18.57%)
LD 138,791 (17.78%)
UKIP 94,887 (12.16%)
BNP 50,249 (6.44%)
Ind 39,658 (5.08%)
Green 37,247 (4.77%)
Respect 8,633 (1.11%)

1999

Labour 162573
Conservative 105573
Lib Dem 52070
UK Independence Party 34063
Green 18184
Socialist Labour Party 4511
BNP 3505
Pro Euro Conservative Party 2926
The Socialist Party (GB) 1510
Natural Law Party 826

Piers Merchant therefore somehow managed, to effectively dilute the 'Kilroy effect' evident elsewhere across the country by holding the increase in votes for UKIP from 8.83 in 1999 to 12.16 in 2004. A massive and notable underachievement, clearly illustrating what the people of the North East think of their one time local MP and I understand, newspaper editor!
