40% voted for him which is about 100% more than for anyone else.

Well I am afraid it is likely that many of NF's votes are from paid flunkies who have been told to vote for him. The number of votes is a lot higher than is normally the case for these polls. We really don't know the truth.

Oh dear, don't trust the polls that don't give you the answer you want. Now there's a democratic approach.

Did you have your serious hat on when you posted that?

Are you a paid member or on a list for anything?

NF has presided over UKIP during a time when the EU was more in focus than at most because of the LT and at the most critical time ever. Membership is down, results are poor, poll ratings are worse - these are the only true measures of his leadership.

About 70% of voters want either to leave or cut political and economic ties with the EU and none of the main parties are offering these.

UKIP membership is growing.

Niall Warry

Yes we will if you don't mind.

Once again you appear ingnorant to the general shenanigans that went on during our last leadership election. Here are two as a reminder. Nigel's unfair spread in the 'Independence ' for the Bromley bye election before the vote and the behind the scenes character assassination of Richard Ski.

Bob FM

the behind the scenes character assassination of Richard Ski. Nothing changes then

Millennium3

Is there audited proof of that? Why did you not answer my other points - to remind you:

These mark NF out as a useless leader.

I am pretty sure that it isn't.

On 31st December 2005, it was at 19,000.

By 31st December 2006 it was down to 16,000.

On the 22nd June 2007 Membership was recorded as 16,700, a rise of 700.

By March 2008, 9 months later, the membership was down to 15,862 (NEC election ballots).

It may indeed be that in the last couple of months there has been a slight increase (I don't have that information), but the overall trend is downwards.

As far as I know, Bob is not a paid member of the party or on a list for anything. I believe he is a committee member of the Swindon Branch, and he is their PPC.

Therefore it is doubtful that any rewards are coming his way. It may be an honour to be chosen as a PPC, but there is little if any material reward in that and it's a role that brings with it a lot of hard work if you intend to fulfill the role effectively.
