Are UKIP finished?

I think they could have won if Farage had stood. However, now that we are moving towards Brexit, what is their point as a party? They had an objective, they achieved their objective. The public who voted for is ok with the Tories moving forward with the project. So they are now less relevant. They've lost their USP.

Major UKIP funder says he could take his money elsewhere and start a new party

'The party cannot continue to be run like a jumble sale.

'If Nuttall doesn't professionalise it and toss out the likes of Douglas Carswell, Suzanne Evans and the rest of the Tory cabal then the party is finished anyway.'

Anyone that thinks that coal is the fuel of the future needs their head examined. It's not just the CO2 emissions, burning coal produces fly ash, NOx and SO2, which to some extent at least can be scrubbed out in the chimney in fairness, and heavy metals like mercury and arsenic which cannot.

Trump does.

Yes, perhaps I'm being silly imagining global warming exists in UKIP world.

UKIP are having a bit of an identity problem since the referendum, their main issue is settled, so to progress long term they need new direction and new ideas.

New ideas being a big problem for a party that thinks new is always bad.

I see a big gap for UKIP once it gets it's act together. The gap left vacant by 'progressive' politics that see's fit to hand away £25 million per day in foreign aid and yet whinge on about hospital closures, or that see's fit to reward known wrong-doer terrorists with benefits and compensation, or that allows Travellers to run rings around local communities, that enables ooman rights lawyers to go after soldiers, or that imprisons for non payment of TV license or nude ramblers but lets off Bankers that wrecked the economy and engineered mis-sold PPI on a massive scale etc etc


There is still a general 'liberal' consensus around that is an anathema to many a bewildered voter.

But UKIP have won their referendum. I don't get what they are for now. Somebody enlighten me, please.

I think once they have figured it out they will let us know, until then I guess they just want to keep getting paid, Same can be said for Labour right now it seems.
