What motivates the leaders of the United Kingdom Independence Party?

Kilroy stresses English Parliament in Press Release.

Is Kilroy also getting more in tune with the seemingly well organised English Democrat Party? (see posting below).

The present shambles in which UKIP now finds under its present lamentable leadership would certainly make that understandable.

Robert Kilroy-Silk is so far ahead of anyone else within the party in terms of persona and message it absolutely beggars belief that his clearly necessary takeover of the party is being thwarted. Those who believe that maintaining the integrity of the United Kingdom is among the best weapons we have as a country in regaining our sovereignty will surely have the most to lose if the unspoken intent of this press release is a hint of moves to come!

ROBERT KILROY-SILK M.E.P. European Parliament Member for the East Midlands Region, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Lincolnshire MEDIA ADVICE - Wednesday 21 September 2004 KILROY-SILK URGES PEOPLE OF THE NORTH-EAST TO VOTE ‘NO’ IN ASSEMBLY REFERENDUM ‘English identity’ at stake With just six weeks to go to the referendum, Robert Kilroy-Silk, M.E.P., who spearheaded the U.K. Independence Party’s successful European election campaign, has today urged voters in the North East to vote ‘No’ in the referendum on an elected regional assembly on 4 November. The referendum is part of the government’s plan to break up England into nine regional assemblies, of which London was the first. Mr Kilroy-Silk said: “It is being imposed by John Prescott, who seems to have been duped by the E.U. into implementing its plans to undermine the English nation and the English identity by dividing it into administrative regions, which will be less powerful in the E.U. than England is now. This is all part of the European project to destroy the nation-state”. He added: “Who wants an elected regional assembly? No-one. Who is it that wishes to see yet another expensive talking shop established in the N.E. - or indeed anywhere else? “Who has been out campaigning for it? No-one. How many have been demonstrating in the street with placards proclaiming: ‘We want another load of lying politicians. We want more bureaucrats’? No-one. Has anyone lobbied Parliament demanding home rule for Tyneside? Of course not. The people of Newcastle and Sunderland have not written in their thousands to their local councillors saying: ‘We want a regional assembly’. The electors of Middlesbrough have not inundated their MPs pleading to have yet another expensive layer of government imposed upon them. None of them want it. There is no need and no demand”. He added: “If voters in the North East say ‘No’, they will help to maintain the unity of England which set up the world’s first Parliament over 800 years ago. The English need one Parliament to represent them, not nine”.
