I'm curious. Do you sit on a branch executive? Do you run in local elections? How much money have you donated to UKIP over the past five years? Have you canvassed or leafletted in the past five months? Or do you just spend your time on the computer moaning and griping?

We await your answers with bated breath.
I am not taking sides in this, but your argument is one we have seen many times before. However, this is a discussion forum and a poster's history is absolutely irrelevant as to whether their discussion is valid or not. Either the praise/criticism is fair or it isn't, and it shouldn't matter who says it.

Independent political forums like this are designed for all viewpoints to be aired. We have UKIP loyalists, a couple of press officers and more than one NEC member, here who are all willing to paint a glowing picture of UKIP, so there is no danger of an imbalanced picture.

So I would ask you to please avoid the ad hominem attacks and stick to the discussion in hand.
