Farage loses 7th straight Westminster Electiom

I wrote many times in the run up to this election that Farage would not win in Thanet  - he lost by 2800 votes. Farage has a track record of expensive,  to UKIP not Nigel, failure in Westminster elections. He is far too abrasive, with a  booze and fags image that women don’t like. He is thus unsuited to be a PPC . On the other hand Diane James is polite, fragrant, nice looking pleasant, inoffensive and unthreatening – an ideal PPC. That is why she got closer to winning in Eastleigh than the ezpensively supported and well publicised Farage did at Thanet.  Why was she not asked to stand again in Eastleigh? Another triumph of Crowther lead UKIP incompetence?.

The man who defeated Farage at Thanet was , one Craig MacKinlay a founder member of UKIP and contemporary of Farage. Click link below to read about him

Clearly there was some friction between McKinlay and Farage as happens with anyone of talent so in 2004 Ashley Mote was elected as UKIP MEP for the South East and was soon after convicted of benefit fraud. In 2005 MacKinlay joined the Tories. In 2009 Farage componded his folly by getting Andreasen in as no 2 on the SE MEP list. Andreasen was not qualifued to be a UKIP candidate but Nigel and his sycophant Gill waived the UKIP MEP candidate selection rules and subsequently. Andreasen of course fell out with Farage and along with Bannerman joined the Tories. It is a recurrent theme with his latest SE pick La Atkinson also now in bad odour.

However on 7th May 2015 it was pay back time with MacKinlay taking the MP slot leaving Farage looking an idiot. He who laughs last laughs longest. and there will be other pay back days for Nigel. He now is at a tipping point. He has made more enemies than he has friends.

UKIP’s problem is that since kicking  Del, me and others off the NEC and out of UKIP who is left to stand up to Farage? There is  no one left on the NEC who dare tell Farage the truth about hinself. They all want places on the EU gravy train which is in Farage’s gift. Farage understands that and promotes  people that are money motivated like himself.

In European elections people vote for a party not a candidate so Farage can hide behind the UKIP label. In Westminster elections there is nothing for him.to hide behind. People can see him for what he is.

His attempt to wriggle out of his silly commitment to resign as leader within 10 mins of his defeat was pathetic and stupid. Click below to see and hear his drivel

He reminds me of Arnie Schwarzenegger, “I ‘ll be back”

He still treats UKIP as his personal property and is trying to put in Suzanne Evans to keep his seat warm just as he did with Pearson in 2010. Evans has only been in UKIP two years and owes her position entirely to Farage’s patronage. Farage obviously will still be calling the shots and is confident he can control Evans. Diane James is far more able but has been left out in the cold as she is her own woman.

You can read Evans statement on the UKIP web site:

At least she defers to the UKIP NEC but does she not know UKIP already has a deputy leader, Paul Nuttall! Farage is still treating UKIP as his personal property. It is not but who on the NEC will stand up and tell him? Neil Hamilton  looks the most likely to me and possibly Alan Bown. Most of the other members are Farage placemen.
