Hi. I've just joined the forum, having dipped in to read up on UKIP issues over the last half year or so. I joined UKIP early last year after attending a public meeting at which Petrina spoke very stirringly about the EU and our loss of sovereignty - the fact that we could reverse it if we could get out in time (I paraphrase). I was already deeply eurosceptic, but she really put across the urgency of doing something about it. I was very sorry when Petrina resigned the Chairmanship, and unimpressed by UKIP's performance since then.

I'm very pleased to learn from this forum that she is standing for the Leadership, and I'll be thinking hard about whether I should renew my membership after all. I read elsewhere that she's viewed as "county". Well, maybe it's my age, but I like people who behave properly and speak well!

Sorry to come across as an old fogey, but it looks like there's a wide spectrum of people and views in this forum, so I hope you'll let me join in!
