Where's the "It's up to Anthony Butcher" option?

Alex McKee · 13-05-2008, 09:21 PM

I've added that and voted for it...

Anthony Butcher · 13-05-2008, 10:08 PM

I voted 'no'.

I have even less chance of being accepted back in than Richard Suchorzewski. I was a PITA when I was on the NEC, and I can't see Farage wanting that all over again

I voted no, which I now regret on reflection! I may not agree with you over the party leadership, but I do think you have the party's best interests at heart, which in my opinion is more than can be said for Richard Suchorzewski!

Having the party's best interests at heart is not a requirement. My experience of a lot of UKIP members is that the interests of the party, the electorate or the 'message' come a long way behind personal vanity and petty or childish squabbles.

I think that is largely because they don't have enough to do, and aren't being organised and inspired, rather than it being a personality issue. We are back to the understimulated activists theory

Not with this member I hasten to add!

Anthony never should have resigned in my opinion and i told him that at the time, should he rejoin absolutely if Nigel stopped him joining that would be a good demonstration of his unwillingness to build bridges and move the party forward.

Anthony rightly resigned. What's changed in the party (for the better) since then?
