David Sprason UKIP Councillors

Association Six are due to retire this year, 2015. NEC Elections are usually held in mid April but given the election it would not be unreasonable to defer the elections until mid May. So when is the 2015 election going to be held?

Why does UKIP need 2 treasurers?

Where does the UKIP Councillors Association occur in the UKIP constitution? What is its relation to UKIP? Including Sprason there are 8 ex-officio members. Chandran, Bown, Curtis, Wauchope, Bursnall and McGough are elected members who should stand down this year, 6 in total but only 4 can be re-elected.

It all looks a bit of a shambles but not worth botthering about until you realise this is the group that unresigned Farage.

Five of the above are Farage nominees so presumably will do as Farage tells them. The two MEPs are paid employees of the EU. Great for a party that claims it wants to leave the EU.

Only the member elected representatives are entitled to vote so how many of them rejected the dodgy resignation? How many of them were even at the relevant meeting?

These questions are all unanswered but meanwhile Farage is snarling and aggressive at all who dare question him and demanding “very, very strong disciplinary action against the plotters”. No evidence has been produced by Farage as to who these plotters are. Farage has quite simply lost the plot and looks like he needs a break as Carswell suggests. Having Farage carrying on in this autocratic delusional manner is losing UKIP voters hand over fist. Nobody will vote for an angry old man which is what Farage is now looking like. For the sake of UKIP he should now take a long break. If not, why not?

A dodgy resignation followed by temper tantrums is no way to lead a political party.

Just watched 10pm TV. Farage interviewed by Sun on Sunday says he wants to remain UKIP leader until 2036. Carswell on BBC news calling for Farage to take a break and for UKIP to have a more.collegiate leadership. Looks like plenty of battles ahead,
