Let's keep to the topic please, and not let it get personal. People are bound to disagree about this issue, but we are all on the same side here!

You all realise that RKS is waiting for the right time to make a leadership challenge now don't you? In other words, you will all have your chance to elivate him to leader in a right and proper manner, keeping the parties credilbility in tact.

I would assume that is the case. He has failed to win by going public, so the sensible plan now would be to use the more traditional political route of quietly building up a network of support.
I am not sure where he will go from here. Any actions before Christmas will still be early enough not to damage the general election campaign (too much). He might well be finding the 47 branches required to call an emergency party conference to discuss and decide on the leadership issue. He would also of course have to fork out the £4,700 for the submissions.
The fact that he hasn't left the party would suggest that he doesn't plan to set up a new anti-EU party, but will instead seek to carry on challenging within UKIP, which I would say is the better of the two options.
