The UKIP brand has gone past its sell-by date, and needs re-packaging as a matter of urgency. One thing that surely has to be accepted, is that as it presently stands, UKIP beyond the EU elections, is going no-where other than as a vehicle for a (to some - SOME people) rabid anti-EU stance.

It does not work now, it never really did, and never really could. This is the illusion that its past and present leaders have continued to believe in.

UKIP as it stands is stale and mouldy looking; it is time for someone to use their LOAF, attract more DOUGH, and get a RISE from the public at large. Simply joining or setting-up yet another party will only cause further split votes that need to be so avoided in our FPTP election system. A broad anti-Eu front with specific national aims within the confines of the individual nations within the UK is an attractive proposition.

Failing that, check emigration requirements for Canada/NZ/Australia is the only other way of getting out of our present political malaise.
