Nigel Farage's 'Will He, Won't He' Over Newark Shows UKIP's Contempt for the British Public

Following hours of umming and ahing, Nigel Farage finally declared that he won't stand for election in the upcoming by-election in Newark, desperately insisting that he is still "a fighter". It is remarkable that the very man who claims he is not your typical politician, that he says what he thinks and does what he wants, only decided that he would not represent the residents of Newark after consulting internal political polling. Hardly the stuff of a principled and fearless man of the people. It is a surprise he didn't consult a focus group too.

Political commentators will churn up column inches debating whether he bottled it or not, and what impact this will have on Teflon Nigel. However, this debate misses the central point about UKIP - they hold the electorate in utter contempt.

In less than a month, there will be elections to the European Parliament to select the 73 Euro MPs fighting Britain's corner in Brussels. This is a hugely important role - the European Parliament has extensive powers to amend and approve legislation across a wide-range of important policy areas that directly affect the lives of British people from trading rules for British businesses to police cooperation to environmental, health and consumer protection. Every country within the EU is different and has its own traditions and cultures, and it is crucial that not only British ministers but also British Euro MPs work day in, day out to make sure that EU rules work effectively for British jobs, for fighting crime, for combating climate change and for projecting British values around the world.

She certainly has some valid points in why it is pointless voting for UKIP in the EU elections as they do nothing, but as I said, let them stand and get voted in and the more representing, that will do nothing when there, will help the British public see what wasted a vote that as to make and how little they will act in the majority interest of the British people.

Cannot wait, as it will spell the slow death of UKIP

Happy days
