“I think Ukip needs to be reformed root and branch and we will be looking at that. With a million supporters there’s also a wonderful opportunity if we want to do something, to back something. I think a new party, a brand new party. He (Farage) may have had enough."

At least his snout is finally out of the gravy train.
As far as I can see he has only quit as leader of the party. He hasn't quit from being an MEP so he will still be receiving a salary and claiming expenses.We need all the goodwill we can get.

The UKIP is dead. Its backers are now history. They have nothing to gain from supporting the party and most will pull the plug. He's just left something that will soon no longer exist.
Those who left the tories for UKIP, and so frightened Cameron that he offered the referendum, probably expecting to blame the libdems in the coalition for dropping it, will now return. Those labour voters will probably return to the fold.

Does anybody think Carswell might be up for the boot at some point in the near future? Or is his position now more stable as he isn't going to be at loggerheada with the party leader?
Unless he doesn't get on with the next one that is, I guess.
As much as I disagree with UKIP policies, Carswell always looked like a principled man. Strength of conviction regardless of party and political views. On all sides.Unless he doesn't get on with the next one that is, I guess.
