You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Who 70% didn't vote for.
That's fascism for you.
Sorry, just spent a couple of minutes looking for the rat’s ass I couldn’t give for UKIP.
Come back nige we need you more than ever.
Nope, same, can’t find any ****s to give.
They'll only matter when Brexit gets cancelled, until then it's just a special interest club for arseholes
Wait, nope I couldn’t give two hoots as to who nor what the new incumbent is or is up to.
That’s progress, I have taken back control.
It is an excellent result. A truly honourable man with excellent distinguished service for his country twice, Army and Police. It is a result I am sure will return UKIP to the fastest growing political party in the U.K.
Speak to the EDL, I think someone may give a shit over there.

Sorry friend, that is not going to happen.
Henry Bolton. <Al Murray> Ah, a fine English name that; jolly good bulldog stock. He’ll make the country great again! </Al Murray>
An immigrant and former Lib Deb man, odd choice for a UKIP leader, maybe they’re going to swing to the left now. 😉
he might not stay too long . not being an mep , he has no income .
Well the party voted the bookies favourite Anne Marie Waters into second. UKIP has a better understanding of its role and standing in U.K. Politics. It is now in a position to build on the solid foundation left by Mr F and under Henry Bolton come together for the good of the country and ensure the will of the country is delivered. The internal disagreements will be resolved under Henry Bolton and he is the man to unite the party and build a party ready to takes it place as a main UK political force. Labour talk about being ready to Govern .... with the new leadership of UKIP Labour will not be the party of opposition.

Don’t you need some MPs to be the opposition?
^^ exactly...foundations laid for the new leader to build on and become the second largest party and challenge to lead the country
Is he related to Ramsey? Would seem a good fit for UKIP.

Correct. But not how you meant I think.
One can but dream...Correct. But not how you meant I think.
genesiscore502011; I think you are wrong, I fervently hope you are wrong, but I can no longer find your bizarre jingoistic optimism as ridiculous as once I could have; these are strange and turbulent times.
"these are strange and turbulent times"
Just playing up on it really-took it toooooo far after my first post.
Apologies all round - as you were
I have never heard of him (H Bolton) until I read the BBC article tonight.

This thread is a shining example of what happens when a political party becomes irrelevant.
It runs out of juice. Spent. Deflated.
Meanwhile, we have a marginal Tory government in Parliament trying to turn fringe politics into the mainstream and they're losing credibility by the hour.
Come on it was obvious genesis was taking the piss, even kippers don't believe any of that stuff!
I dunno. I just reread the first couple of pages of the Corbyn and Trump threads for a bit of context... this is the time of strange things happening.Come on it was obvious genesis was taking the piss, even kippers don't believe any of that stuff!
Are they even a party now?
Just assumed they meet up for a beer and kebab occasionally on a Saturday night?
A social club for d***s basically.
They were never really a viable party, unfortunately David Cameron seemed to think they were.

Unfortunately there was a period when they were popular enough to draw substantial votes away from the Tories (and Labour!). As much as I despise Cameron for pandering to the loony right I can understand the predicament he was in

Probably the only time I will do this.

Oh. I thought you were being ironically humourous.

Yes, and how many MPs did they have at that time - 1
Ironically you might be right 😉

But they had a huge (12.6%) share of the vote, quirk of the FPTP system.
1.8% isn't that huge..
