Today Nigel Farage may be selected to fight a seat at the next General Election. A seat he'll probably win. But for UKIP that's about as much as they can hope for. Ok, maybe they'll end up with two or three MP's but nothing that will matter.
The reason why his roller coaster will see the wheels fall off is simple. Whilst UKIP were a one policy party they were unstoppable. If they had stayed just that and said 'elect us, we'll sort out the Brexit then resign' they might have seen a different result. But they didn't. Instead they tried for government, tried to be a party with all the bells and whistles and, quite frankly, they picked a bunch of racist idiots to achieve it. The quality of their candidates is astoundingly poor, even Nige would admit it.
The UKIP mission is gone as far as I can see. Who in Scotland, Wales or N Ireland would vote for leaving the EU; they are left wing to the core and so is the EU. It makes no sense.
So here's a new plan for you Nige. The EIP - the English Independence Party. Go for the English vote. For exit from both the UK and the EU.
Let's face it the UK no longer works for England. The other bits have their own assemblies and, after the referendum in Scotland, they'll have just about every power you can think of. But not England.....
England is a Conservative nation yet we suffer Labour governments voted in by the Scots and the Welsh and then watch as they wreck our economy. Enough is enough.
So the EIP, a single mission party which will give England back governance of itself. England doesn't need the EU, neither does it need the Scots and the welsh. They could stay in the UK and stay in Europe - they'd get tons of grants - and we could leave, consolidate our strength as the finance capital of the world, get the shale gas going and be a power again.
The balance of power in the world is shifting. Away from the west to the east. It can't be stopped and shouldn't be. England, unlike Europe has history there. Good history. The Arabs like putting their money here as do the Chinese. The chinks like our efficiency, our financial products and our workforce. And please, don't tell me the old Commonwealth will rush to our door UKIP people cos they won't. But that doesn't matter. The USA will turn up and we will also have Russian pals; maybe, just maybe we can use the NORC (look it up) and get a position as middle men in what will be the biggest money tree in the next 100 years.
Then case for England to leave the EU is hard to refute. The case for the UK to leave is neither solid nor supported by our little chums to the west and north of us.
So Nige, how about a whole new slant. How about EIP?
