One comment in support of Kilroy:-

I am a Chairman of UKIP in the East Midlands. Robert Kilroy Silk should lead this party and the sooner the better. He is an honest hard working man whom I have had the pleasure of seeing in action. All races and gender warm to his honest and transparent approach to real politics. RKS has integrity, honesty and to continue our success to date the majority of the membership are well aware Robert MUST lead UKIP.

One comment in favour of Knapman:-

Killjoy is a waste of space and doing immense harm to the party. Politically, he has very little experience compared to Roger Knapman who has actually served in government! Killjoy's ego is so big it's a wonder he fitted in the Colston Hall. If he wants to be taken seriously, he needs to work hard for the party under the current leadership. When the post of leader vomes up in a couple of years he will be then be able to put himself forward as a serious candidate and attract support based on his track record. I have received many comments about this issue (in the region of 30 - 40) and only 1 supported Killjoy.

One further comment, I think that this website is a complete waste of time and the morons running it are just trying to stop UKIP building on their success to date. One wonders who is behind them.

The latter contributor's attitude towards open debate and his choice to remain anonymous might be indicative of a certain mindset. We will keep the page and poll running for those who believe an exchange of views can be useful - Martin the moron!
