So it's OK for Steve Allison to be involved in elections for UKIP in London, Scotland, Wales, the North East, the North West, the South East and the Midlands but not acceptable for him to seek to be elected anywhere outside his own region? What about someone who moves from the region of their birth to another region. How long before they are sufficiently "local" to be allowed. Should UKIP adopt a policy of only allowing candidates to stand in the region of their birth? That would stop all these carpet baggers wouldn't it! In fact anyone who has ever left the region of their birth for longer than 24 hours is probably dangerously cosmopolitan and needs to be slapped down. This would make the ideal UKIP candidate someone who has never been father from home than the local shops! Let's have no trouble here, these are local elections for local candidates, there's nothing for you (carpet baggers) here! Can anyone hear banjo music?
