Dear Branch Chairman/UKIP Member/Kilroy-Silk Supporter

re: Your Response to Robert Kilroy-Silk’s ‘10 Questions' to Party Members

This letter is being sent mostly to those who have taken the trouble to reply to Robert Kilroy-Silk's '10 Questions' letter, who have responded positively to his diagnosis of the Party's problems and his suggestions for the future direction of the Party, and who broadly support his bid to lead the Party as the way forward for the it. It is by no means a complete list of the many supporters who have contacted him in recent days, by e-mail, post or 'phone, to offer their support. It includes non-members, some of whom have said they would re-join or join the Party were Robert to become Leader.

If I have incorrectly placed you on this list, please inform me ASAP. Thank you in particular to those of you who have gone into detail about the future direction of the Party and what you/your Branch would like to see happen in the future. A report, which will include all the responses to his letter, including all the specific suggestions made by you and others, is currently in preparation.

Mr Kilroy-Silk is in Strasbourg this week. As you will know by now, he has decided to withdraw from the UKIP group in the European Parliament, but at the same time in his radio and TV appearances and press comments he has emphasised that he will remain a member of the Party, that there are many good, honest, hard-working members of the Party, and that he has not abandoned his hope of leading the Party.

An informal support group which aims to secure a leadership election in the party ASAP, and hopefully elect Robert Kilroy-Silk as leader, is in the process of being establishd and Ken Evans, Chairman of East Lincolnshire Branch (which recently unanimously called for Robert Kilroy-Silk to lead the Party), has offered to help organise calls for a leadership election. He and I are in touch with around 60 Branch Chairmen who would support the call for a leadership election, above the 20% figure of 47 Branches apparently required under the Party Constitution [it is said that there are 233 Party Branches, although only 181 are currently registered with the Electoral Commission].

Ken can be contacted at: kenevans@ukiplincs.co.uk

If you have any queries about this e-mail, please let me know.

Research Assistant to Robert Kilroy-Silk
