But that doesn't reflect our voting system

Well it is part of the British system (in a way) because in a GE people can choose not vote or spoil their papers, and after the count it can be established how many people have done this. By not offering a none of the above option (I'm not voting button), will end up with a false result - IMO.

Anyway thanks to Alex for putting the button on.

[quote=Bob FM;517237]Alex, . It would be such a shame if GC didn't get at least one vote. He would feel unwanted. quote]

There you are Bob FM, 1 vote for your old friend GC

komerad, now look what you've done, you've prompted him to vote for himself.

Legin

Yes, I agree with you - BUT - useless as a leader, he really must learn to listen to the foot soldiers!!

Bob FM

Listen to who? Those on here who condemn every decision, every initiative, every attempt to move the party on by dragging up ancient history, publishing rumour and innuendo as fact. He is listening to those who are actively engaged on the ground and he is travelling thousands of miles supporting these people. Why would he want to listen to the likes of GC, GLW, CE etc, etc, they are offering nothing except negativity. We have had another disaster in Henley, and now we will here all the usual recriminations but what will be forgotten is the damage already inflicted by Twizzle and his band of Treason 'nutters', and the lack of constructive support from the branches.

Agreed! Until someone comes forward who I consider better than Nigel to do his job, I'll stick with Nigel!

Independent UKIP

I assume that was a reply to my post, Alex. I'm not going to start an argument but just note that the first suggestion regarding the inclusion of Geoffrey Collier was timed at 4.07pm and was the first reply to the post by Ryansoton which launched this poll. My post regarding the possible inclusion of Mr Collier was posted more than 8 hours after it. I find it hard to believe that none of your fellow forum moderators perused this interesting poll/topic over all that time and beyond. Yet it seems that it was only you who was willing to include Mr Collier in the poll, on Friday morning. And for good reason as at time of writing he has 5.71% of the total vote despite most votes having been cast before his inclusion.

It was indeed a reply to your post. I am fed up with people assuming we've nothing better to do than act on suggestions made in threads in sections we may not even be reading!

UKIP General Issues attracts little in the way of troubles, unlike the general politics sections, so our eyes are off it. Then half the moderators or more are no longer in UKIP, so they're not likely to be hugely interested in the UKIP General Issues section.

Finally, I stopped reading these posts ages ago because they are generally full of people who won't leave UKIP but will gripe on endlessly.

If you want something done please feel free to send me a private message (I won't claim to speak for the other moderators, so don't send them private messages unless you have to) and ask nicely. If it doesn't get done quickly then don't assume ill-intent, rather assume - correctly - that we are busy people.

I was busy updating the UKIP Henley by-election site, an issue immeasurably more pressing than hypothetical candidates for a hypothetical leadership election not due until after the next European and General elections!

Well said Alex. The sooner these whining UKIP losers leave, the sooner this forum can get down to the real business of saving Britain.
