It depends upon what kind of people one employs I suspect. As you say, you can't predict this kind of thing, but for Farage to employ someone who thinks it is acceptable to racially abuse someone doesn't exactly boost his credentials as a judge of character. UKIP is especially sensitive to claims of racism, so this kind of thing should be avoided at all costs.

That was in reference to the previous NEC election!
Several people claimed that it was deliberately re-run because the first one didn't give the 'correct' result. Note that I put 'cocked-up/rigged' - I have no particular knowledge from which to make a judgement on that.
