One might even argue that elected councillors might be better placed to run the party than MEPs who spend a large amount of time abroad, or at least take an active role in its management.

If pointing out that someone has made contradictory statements on a serious matter within just a few weeks is pedantic then I am pedantic. As you must know every single UKIP councillor at district plus level has been mentioned in articles on the UKIP website. So it is neither secret nor unknown. I acknowledge there are not many UKIP councillors and as a result I doubt it is worthwhile there being an organised group of UKIP councillors. They should concentrate on serving their residents to the best of their ability and helping to build up UKIP in the local area so that there might be more UKIP councillors in the future. When there is a big step-up in the number of UKIP councillors I will agree that there should be a formal grouping of them.
