Let's see ... you were head of UKIP AND Time Magazine's Person of the Year 2006? Somebody contact HR.

Wait, UKIP is still a thing? Why?

Inertia I think.

 

[P.J. Denyer]

Inertia I think.

And inexplicably angry people...

You could also get a couple of like-minded friends to join as well and try your hand at entryism. With the dwindling numbers, it should not be hard to rise through the ranks. And then: UKIP, the real, true-to-form Trotskyist party!

All week? That's long enough for three new leaders and Farage to return to sort things out and retire perminantly from British politics 'job done' twice.

Actually, how good is it for your CV? What I read in Dutch papers is that former politicians of Wilders' PVV party complain that they can't get a job because their political activity is on their CV.

Aren't they going bankrupt?

I was going to write "Party Leader" and leave it at that, if they ask at interview mumble or cough, I've never posted a picture on Facebook of myself doing a Nazi salute and my wife doesn't tweet hatred so I figure no-one will guess which party.

Aren't they going bankrupt?

Morally, politically, or financially?

Surely a true potential leader of UKIP wouldn't let something like whether or not they've actually been party leader stop them putting that claim on their CV anyway

Good point. I'm not certain if that makes me over or under qualified?

I'm seriously considering standing in local elections for this lot, just for the laughs.

And for local parish council stuff it's free. No deposit needed, which in my 99.998765467% staunchly Conservative village is a good thing.

We should probably have a vote on it at some point!!!

They've already had a vote on party leadership, and yet they keep having more of them. I thought it was settled.
