Votes or not, at least we now all know he is not a man of his word.
There's a surprise.
Ok, you're not a stupid person, so please care to explain how you have come to this conclusion?There's a surprise.
You are not arguing that he tendered his resignation?
If a CEO tenders his resignation to the board, and they refuse to accept it, how is that breaking his word?
You want him to go all dogmatic and refuse?
Utterly pathetic. If he were a man of his word, when he said he would stand down, he would STAND DOWN!

he tendered his resignation, it wasn't accepted.
what are you lot on about?
Baffling isnt it? I am pretty sure Farage was being sincere when he said he really wanted a break. I am also sure that Farage would have been up for re-election as leader come September, once he had recharged himself. I guess someone (or many) in the party hierarchy were crapping themselves about losing their most valuable and visible vote getting asset, and persuaded him to stay as leader. Personally I think he should have taken the break, he was definitely below par for big chunks of the campaign.what are you lot on about?

Like I said earlier, if you voted UKIP, you are entitled to an opinion (on this topic), otherwise pipe down.
Again (again), I just don't get this. If you are interested in those that would lead this country (or be party to such), surely you have a right to examine the motives of said people? I mean, if you catch a Labour/Lib Dem / Tory party leader lying, you have a right to an opinion.
Telling me I have no right unless I voted UKIP is like me telling you that you can't have an opinion on any other leader. That is just silly, so stop saying it!

Some are obviously determined to see it that way with their own version of less straight talking negative slant inaccuracy.The bloke said he would resign and confirmed that soon after the result was known. When later he approached the party with his formal resignation they did not accept it. Place whatever negative slant on that which suits. It will change nothing. I expected he would be asked to put his name forward later after his summer break simply by popular demand. I did not expect popular demand to be so timely and assertively quick off the mark.
Good to see it though and the obvious delight of the naysayers with their own version of "straight talking".....

Far from a Scots Nat but compare and contrast with Alex Salmond who resigned immediately after losing the Independence Referendum and stayed resigned to date.
Not too sure how good an analogy that is, but there was a popular leader waiting in the wings for the Nats, Evans is quite good but she doesnt hold a candle to Farage when it comes to bang for buck in getting attention.MGJohn said:

Did i miss him standing for Westminster?He isn't even the leader of the group of SNP MPs at Westminster let alone leader of the SNP or first minister. Say what you like about Salmond (I don't particularly like him) but for all his faults he is proven to be more of a man of his work than UKIP's Great Leader.
