Well there is another problem, who can afford to take an unpaid position in the Party and give it the attention it needs......answer, those with a private income, pension, MEP's salary, etc. How many partry members can afford not to work, I know my wife complains now about the time I put INTO phpbb_UKIP when i could be earning money at my real job.....how many young, ambitious graduates could work for UKIP for nothing, I know the idealistic flock to work for Labour and to a lesser extent the Conservatives and Lib-dems but they can offer the ultimate carrot, a nice safe seat in the House of Commons for life and a nice big pension when you give it up...maybe even a seat in the Lords if you've been a good boy or girl.....
