Nine months ago, the voters of Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire voted for a UKIP MEP to represent them in the European Parliament. It was the political parties themselves that then decided the individuals who would represent them if the party was successful in the elections.

It is completely undemocratic when the voters voted for UKIP, to find themselves just nine months later with a Conservative MEP.

Because UKIP won the election and not Amjad Bashir, he should do the honourable thing and resign.
