Gill is/was still a party member and a member of the West Midlands Committee. Why shouldn't she vote?

I don't know if she has subsequently left the party entirely.

Resignation statement.

Unlike the UKIP 'establishment', a substantial number of the members of UKIP realise that there is something very wrong with the party. I , with some others on the NEC, tried to do something about it. We failed.

One popular anti- EU slogan is 'Better Off Out'. I feel this applies to my continuing membership of the NEC, as I have no confidence in the future of UKIP with Nigel Farage as leader. He likes the slogan 'UKIP- The Real Opposition'. However, my experience of the NEC tells me that surreal is a better description of the upper tier of UKIP.

I can no longer support this inept and bizarre organisation which has so singularly failed its dedicated grassroots. And may, if it carries on as before, damage the anti-EU movement.

Gill Chant

I believe that she has resigned both from the NEC and the party.

Anthony, seems pretty clear to me

Anthony Butcher · 16-10-2006, 02:30 PM

As far as I am aware, Gill only resigned from the NEC. Note that she says "I feel this applies to my continuing membership of the NEC".

You are correct though, it is a confusing letter in that respect. Presumably she couldn't have been present or have voted if she wasn't a party member.

Perhaps you should seek some clarification from Gill if you are bothered by it.

"I believe that she has resigned both from the NEC and the party."

was your quote from 14th September

and Gill words

"I can no longer support this inept and bizarre organisation which has so singularly failed its dedicated grassroots. And may, if it carries on as before, damage the anti-EU movement."

Organisation would surely mean party. You could not call a committee an organisation.

Best to ask Gill for clarification, rather than continuing here I think.

According to Webster's online dictionary, arguably you could:

Quote:

2 a : ASSOCIATION, SOCIETY <charitable organizations> b : an administrative and functional structure (as a business or a political party); also : the personnel of such a structure

As a whole not part

Agreed. Looked like she'd left UKIP to me too.
