Answer me this, how will turning UKIP into a carbon copy of the 80's Conservative Party (with the exception of EU policy - but that will not solve everything) solve the severe, nation threatening problems this country is facing?
The sooner UKIP melt back into The Conservative Party it will leave a gap for a true Populist Party to sort out the mess.
Good luck to Adrian and Mike.

Thanks for that. Most members of UKIP are decent patriots, but the leadership is desperate to keep the party within the parameters of tolerated dissent, trying to run with the fox and hunt with the hounds, proclaiming its "anti-racism", while pitching for the large and growing anti-immigration vote (opposition to immigration, btw, doesn't involve saying that people from other cultures are on that account bad or inferior, but does involve saying more than that "Britain is full", true though that may be. To my mind a nation essentially consists of people of common descent.)
Our country needs a broadly based populist party (lower case "p", no disrespect intended to the PP!). Neither UKIP (insufficiently radical and anti-establishment) nor the BNP (not sufficiently acceptable to middle England) fit the bill. Unfortunately, while between them they occupy the ground that such a party needs to hold, it is difficult to see such a party emerging. Efforts to date, such as the FP, have been handicapped by a lack of financial resources, and the tendency of patriots and dissidents from the liberal consensus to display brand loyalty to the existing players.
