FEDs versus UKIP
Now that the FEDs have decided to try and wipe out the Free England Party, our gloves can start to come off.
This thread was a typical Steve Uncles nonsense right from the start. Dartford is the only stronghold of the FEDs and the credit belongs to Mike Tibby (dating from when he had his own English nationalist grouping) and a very small band of hard working activists.
In other words, as Dartford is unique, it is not a sensible comparator at all!
At present the FEDs will have say, under 1,500 members, are heavily in debt, have no staff and as for democratic credentials can scrape up a very few parish councillors. That's about it!
I do think UKIP are facing a tough challenge next June 2009 if they are to maintain a number of MEPs. But at present, UKIP are better resourced, more numerous, more competant and better known than the FEDs by a huge margin.
But I warn UKIP not to become too complacent ... as the Free England Party is on the way ...
