I think the real issue is probably cash. A battle bus just isn't going to cut it on its own.As a matter of urgency, the leadership need to guide the drones into creating revenue streams. That is going to be very hard with the current "brand" I am afraid.

Having said that, UKIP has the EU elections that may provide the springboard. I am sure Farage has some stuff lined up for that.
I haven't voted so as to not rub salt into the wound.

It has to be faced up to by UKIPers that the results are hardly better than the bordering-on-extinction results achieved by the English Democrats.

The trouble for UKIP in next year's EU Elections is going to be the resurgent Tory Party.
UKIP have performed well in the past 10 years on the fact of a Tory Party being flat on its back.

To get three MEPs next year will mean UKIP is back to where it was 10 years ago.
That is not good.
