Read the link!

Knapman didn't deliver on a promise to publish a letter of support on the website.

He probably forgot.

Resignation of Party Chairman

*
UKIP Leader, Roger Knapman MEP, today accepted the resignation of*Party Chairman, Petrina Holdsworth.
*
"With much regret, I can confirm that I have*accepted Petrina Holdsworth's resignation.* Petrina's commitment to UKIP was wholehearted, and her efforts as Chairman were respected throughout the Party, which makes her loss even greater.
*
"The UKIP caucus in the European Parliament and the National Executive Committee have expressed sadness at Petrina's decision, and we wish*her well in the future."
*
ROGER KNAPMAN MEP
Leader
UK Independence Party

Doesn't say why she has resigned, though.

Natrass will get a warm reception at conference now, won't he!

Hartlepool · 04-10-2005, 07:08 PM

Something going on,Knapman placates Petrina by telling her to hold on until after Conference and then he will fire Natrass. Natrass gets wind and gets with Farage,these two give Knapman the hard word,and suddenly hey presto,Petrina is out of it. I'm sure that Petrina has been a steadying influence within UKIP to the extent that quite a few skirmishes and fallingsout have been "controlled" within the inner sanctum of the Party. With someone like Natrass now completely on the loose and having the obvious backing of Knapman at this moment in time we can expect developements and changes to occur,could even end up with Knapman resigning "due to health problems." Natrass,Farage and Petrinas replacement along with the newly "Elected" NEC will/could have a free hand to do anything they wanted with this Party. :shock: :?

As I understand it, Roger was supposed to issue a letter of some sort as part of the initial agreement to keep her in place, which he failed to do.

Who knows.

Petrina hasn't left the party though! Perhaps she could rise like a Phoenix from the flames.
