Nigel Farage has just commented on Sky News that we as a party, and that includes RKS, need to reflect on what was said at the conference. In other words he agrees that the language of killing the Tories and standing in areas where the Con or Lab MP are anti-EU is wrong.
I can see the party has a bit of a split here. One half that has no intention of ever trusting any of the main parties again, and want to try and win power themselves. The other that wants to put pressure on each of the main parties MP's to try and get the result of halting further EU integration without aqctualy having any power.
You could say the second option is a more realistic goal, especially in the short term. I totaly disagree though, as I don't believe for one minute that any of the main parties will stop the manipulation of Britain INTO phpbb_a superstate. The Tories are actualy the most dangerous, as they say they are anti-EU(or most of them do), but when in power they do exactly the opposite.
I hope UKIP goes down the route of fighting to win power. I hope people like Nigel Farage, who I think is a powerful talker, come to feel the same. I personaly will loose heart in the UKIP if it becomes official policy that all we are is a pressure group. The conference voted massivley in favour of standing in ever seat and the leadership of UKIP need to represent the views of the party at large!
