May 1 2018 - Ukip’s new leader, Gerard Batten, has reiterated his intention to move the party towards the hard right by urging people to read the Qur’an so they can “educate” themselves about the threat posed by Islam.

If Europe lets socialists take over the land and people we fought and died for as a nation, then screw them. If they let smarmy moronic pseudo intellectual a**ho**s define their future, then they aren’t worth fighter before or beside ever again.

I was afraid this would be the outcome if adequate approval were stretched out for several years.
Maybe the Brexit fans can remind people of what they have to lose by remaining. Just like in the States, only a small percentage of citizens are really paying attention, vs parroting what their friends are saying.

People have seen the future the liberals offer and it really, really sucks. The price for rejecting liberals’ utopia is that it is very, very hard to disengage from their plans. It’s that way by design. Socialism necessarily involves entrapment because their plan requires slaves.

You need exceptional national leadership to move something this radical from an idea to final implementation.

Nigel Farage was as close as they got. Farage is a brilliant polemicist and a born fighter, but he did not have the organization skills and the basic political skills that were necessary to guide this decision after the election.

At any rate, Farage resigned as UKIP leader just a few weeks after the Brexit victory, as I recall.

The final nail in the coffin is Prime Minister May, who lacks the passion and the conviction to get anything done, Brexit included.

If it was an ad hoc movement, once it achieved its aims the people who supported it will revert back to a party with more relevant national goals and ambitions. I don’t know what UKIP even stands for as an acronym, but people don’t spend a life voting on foreign entanglements. UKIP made its point with the EU vote. It didn’t transition to any meaningful domestic policy that the voters could support long term.

This generally happens in any 2-party country (US, UK, France et al), if a 3rd party rises to enough strength in the polls to determine the outcome then one of the 2 major parties simply usurps (or steals) its thunder by incorporating those idea that make the 3rd party popular as their own. Doesn’t mean they will actually follow through with those ideas. Some countries with Parliamentary systems do have more than 3 parties in their legislature but often the 3rd party gains just enough power to matter at one critical point in time.

Ukip has confirmed its apparent slide into political irrelevance with a disastrous performance in the local elections in England, prompting a senior official to compare the party to the Black Death.
