What would we have gained by standing here?

There was already a very strong anti-establishment candidate and the only big issue of the campaign was frankly an internal dispute in the Labour party. Even if we could have fought a proper campaign we would have polled badly. Of course with Bromley rightly taking a huge amount of attention in terms of activists from around the country there would have been very little national support so it would have been very hard to run a campiagn in a constituency that probably has very few UKIP members.
