Whether we like it or not, we are currently stuck with a 'Nationalist' label. That makes it very easy for people to associate us with a 'far right' label as well.
Individual letters can make a difference, but just writing to Mr. Travers without copying said letter to the local/national media and any associated websites will not make a blind bit of difference to the public perception of UKIP.
We need a leader who is ready, willing and able to pop up at a moment's notice to respond to both these issues and the breaking news with a carefully drafted soundbite in line with our core values.
That means having a leader whose only job for the duration of their term of office is to be a media darling, constantly in the public eye.
I'm looking forward to the leadership elections... :twisted:
