#792* - ANOTHER LONG SERVING ACTIVIST & SUPPORTER OF EUkip QUITS
ANOTHER LONG SERVING ACTIVIST WITH 12 YEARS SERVICE AS A SUPPORTER OF EUkip FINALLY QUITS IN SADNESS AT THE PARTY'S BETRAYAL OF BRITAIN!
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
During over 10 years in UKIP in which I was National Chairman of Wales, Officer Manager in Birmingham for 6 months, Branch Chairman of Cheltenham, stood in 3 General Elections (The first being with the Referendum Party in 1997), 1 Euro and 1 Local Election I am finally leaving the Party and will not be renewing my membership this February.
My last 5 years I have spent trying to raise the standards of the party to make it electable in its own right. Many of us believe it is not more politicians we need, but to leave the EU. Our failure to achieve this and set a clear direction for the party has been reflected by the abject failure of UKIP to achieve anything at all towards leaving the EU.
The lack of probity and transparency has dogged the party escalating under Nigel’s leadership. Sadly it looks as if UKIP have learnt from the EU and not exposed it! Furthermore and nearly as important the party has suffered from abysmal leadership and lacked an overall plan and has never adopted a workable strategy or tactics that would help it achieve its primary reason for being.
Many of UKIP’s most able and well informed members saw the writing on the wall when Nigel was elected leader and left the party then. Nigel never wanted to be leader, a job he was totally unsuited for, but he fought for the post to ensure that his comfortable EU existence on the gravy train was NOT disturbed.
Now of course despite a new puppet leader, in Lord Pearson, Nigel has marched his MEPs into the EFD Group, in the EU pretend Parliament, a group that has people in it who are even worse that our own BNP.
Despite an increasingly Eurosceptic public UKIP’s membership has declined from around a high of 29,000 in 2004 to 13,000 today. This is clearly an indication that all is NOT well in UKIP.
Life after the ratification of The Lisbon Treaty has changed many things and I now believe UKIP is not only beyond reform but that reformed or otherwise it is now largely irrelevant to us being able to leave the EU.
So before I finish I think it only fair to explain the type of party I hoped to be working towards:-
A party open to all regardless of race colour or creed which used its successes in the Euro Elections to fund the essential work in the UK to educate the public about the reality of being part of the EU.
UKIP MEPs should have had the strength of character to stand in the EU Parliament on their own while spending far more of their time in the UK rather than Brussels.
Full transparency of MEPs accounts should have been mandatory.
The party should have initially concentrated on providing electoral pressure on the LibLabCon turning success in this area to its advantage to build into a fully fledged party when the time was right.
The MEPs should have used their elected status to lead the drive to educate the British people cascading the information down through the membership to the general public.
Training and more training should have been carried out at every level and PPCs for General Elections should have received endless in house training to fashion them into a competent professional candidate.
Candidates should have been able to stand as UKIP then put in brackets New Labour, Conservative or Liberal Democrats thus instantly doing away with the need for any time wasting on producing ‘policies’ as it would have been all too clear as to a candidates beliefs.
So a UKIP (New Labour) candidate would have been saying to the electorate I believe in New Labour policies but on the EU I’m for coming out.
As to the future I believe that one of the existing parties will eventually have to offer the people a referendum on the IN or OUT option as it becomes increasing clear how disadvantaged we are by the Lisbon Treaty.
Having given up on UKIP and the LibLabCon I believe my only honourable option at the next General Election is to stand as an Independent candidate and have set this in motion already in my constituency having distributed 5,000 leaflets already with another 5,000 to follow in January (Why isn’t UKIP thinking this far ahead!).
Details of my initiative can be found at :-
So farewell UKIP a party that promised so much and delivered so little for the PEOPLE of the UK that is apart from the self enrichment of its 13 MEPs.
I gather Niall Warry intends to stand as an Indipendent Parliamentary Candidate in The General Election in his home constituency of Sommerton & Frome. Niall's blog outlines his views on many subjects and makes it very clear that the aim is not only to stand as an Independent realising his unlikely lack of success but with a determination to ensure the constituency is not just another cosy LibLabCon stitch up and since at EUkip's last meeting only 2 people attended and although it was only the second meeting for Niall he had 11 people attend and over 15 named apologies.
As a result of his efforts in the constituency to date he has had offers of not only support but also financial contributions that have already covered his deposit and print costs - the leaflet is now in its second print run and he has at least one organiser in every main village in the constituency and the printing of his leaflet is already designed and with the printers all fully funded which is not bad since he started very recently and has only gone firm this week due to the complete lack of visibility of EUkip in the constituency and in the belief shown in his letter above that EUkip has completely lost its way and is now self serving and self enriching for the few who have reahed the troughs.
Sadly in view of the obscene level of bullying and lies presented by the face of EUkip in public I believe that EUkip has a steadily collapsing future acting as useful idiots for the EU as it helps them build Pan EU Political Parties and emasculates itself by the vile company it keeps sitting with Racists, Xenophobes, anti Jewish extremists who not only advocate violence but use it.
It is clear there are no levels of legalised depravity to which EUkip and its staff would not sink to gain their ends and seek to enrich themselves at the expense of others.
Good luck Niall and I hope you show a lead for honest remaining members which they have the courage to follow.
Regards,
Greg L-W.

I SUGGEST – since there is clearly no political party of repute, advocating or campaigning for withdrawal of these United Kingdoms from the EU and restoration of our independent sovereign, democracy, with Justice & the right to self determination in a free country. Deny the self seeking & meaningless wanabe MEPs the Mythical Mandate for which they clamour. Diktat is imposed from The EU but Law should be made at Westminster, for our Country & our Peoples.
Write Upon Your Ballot Paper at EVERY election:

GET YOUR COUNTRY BACK
Except of Course in Sommerton And Frome
