First of all, the rules are clearly ridiculous. Why remove the opportunity for candidates to expose themselves to the activists? Many candidates will have been able to promote themselves for the last four years.
Secondly they are utterly unenforceable - Farage is applying to be on the MEP list presumably, yet he attends meetings all the time. If other candidates are being prevented from talking, then why is he allowed to? Or are some candidates more equal than others?
Thirdly, why is Titford making a public attack on a meeting now? Surely he could have voiced objections at the time, and, if he can't support the meeting, at least not criticise the good work that others are attempting.
Fourthly, why is UKIP making a hash of it again without any need? Isn't it possible for anything just to happen smoothly? The amateur Dad's Army 'charm' wears very thin after a while and just starts to look like incompetence.
