UKIP are getting nuttier and nuttier over time. I think that the implosion of the BNP has contributed to some real extremists moving UKIP-wards.

Good thing about UKIP: they can split the Tory vote and get Tories out in some places.

Bad thing about UKIP: they can lead Tories to move further right to attract the UKIP voters.

Hardly a shock revelation. It's more of a shock when a 'Kipper says or does something sensible.

Roger Helmer is my MEP, Paul Nuttall is Nigel Farage's deputy and David Coburn is MEP for Scotland so much of this list is people already very senior in UKIP. I'm surprised they didn't go the whole hog and put Farage on the list.
