Steve Crowther writes on behalf of the NEC On February 13th 2018, the Leader has published an attractively-presented new Draft Constitution, which has been sent out to all members for whom the party has email addresses. I should point out that this draft and ‘consultation’ has not been discussed with or presented to the NEC, so is an informal process at best. No doubt there will be an opportunity for members not on email/Internet to examine it shortly, in hard copy, and Henry will let us know how to respond to his three-week ‘consultation’, and to whom. Obviously, no…

UKIP’s mission: to make Britons proud again

With Nigel Farage declining to pick up the twitching reins of UKIP for a fourth (fifth?) time and hinting at a smoother, more driver-friendly vehicle to come, one might be forgiven for marking UKIP as a ‘sell’. Results at this year’s county and general elections showed many of the party’s previous four million voters declaring ‘mission accomplished’, and returning to the revitalised brawl between resurgent socialism and something vaguely resembling conservatism. But far from the Brexit vote closing a door for UKIP, it opens a wider one. In demonstrating that a political party with no MPs of its own,…
