So does Farage have the backing of all their MP?

All of them appeared to be backing him yesterday. Quite a turnaround!

It seems the UKIP Parliamentary Party has been distracted from the leadership spat over the past few days by the new SNP ned MPs nicking his seat on the junior opposition front bench.

Looks to me that on just PH alone there is more people angry and wasting their life venting about it day after day, than there is Ukip supporters giving a toss.
I really don't know why some of you haven't got something else to do. I don't like Labour or Miliband, but had he stayed on, I wouldn't care one jot. You lot hate Ukip and drone on day after day writing the same old crap over and over.
Rich and compelling input without a hint of irony saying that people are writing the same old crap over and over.
Just take a look around, Ukip are hardly in revolt, the members aren't , the voters aren't. There's more on PH alone here venting day after day on a subject and party you claim not to care about and call irrelevant. You can carry on ( and will seemingly ) by don't you ever look on how utterly obsessed you are on the subject ? That obsession just looks really odd behavior to who can't be arsed to be obsessively pro or anti Ukip, especially when you try and belittle the pro Ukip side as obsessive.

So you think the last week was nothing? It was bad. Very bad. If you asked Farage, Carswell or Suzanne Evans in private, I'm sure they'd agree. They appear to have got over it now.

And here you are, yet again, obsessing about people obsessing about UKIP. Weird

Just look at who the previous four posters to you are..... absolutely scary that 4 (and a few other), apparently intelligent men can spend so much of their time and energy frothing at the mouth trying to convince others of their point of view. When in truth, if their views are correct and NF's behaviour is so abysmal, they should be praising NF / UKIP for behaving in such a manner.

Probably just as well UKIP only got 1 MP as I doubt the poor little dears' hearts could have taken the pressure had they got more...and who knows what would have happened to them if NF had won Thanet?????

Not wishing to be classed as obsessive myself I now intend on taking a sabbatical from this UKIPing / willy waving malarkey but reserve the right to change my mind at any point and pop back in from time to time.

Have fun peeps byebye

I don't much care. In the same way I wouldn't care if Miliband of Clegg had stayed. I might comment it's a dumb move, but unlike the unhinged TKF and Eharding's, the thread is a joke of people who openly hate and call Ukip irrelevant, mostly just acting like tts and opnely saying they are only here to mock. Look at TKF's last reply - he can't answer any point.

It wasn't great what happened, but then it would be the same in any party when those at the top either see a chance for themselves or a chance to move or change the party the way they want.
I said earlier Evans would have been a far better bet as leader as Farage as taken it about as far as he can with his Marmite tactics. To me, had they been smart they would have let him carry on doing his MEP thing as that seems to be what the voter base seems to like, then let Evans come in and bring a different style.
The point is though, while any public spat aint great, some on here look an obsessive joke when it seems the whole of Ukip's voter bases seems not to care one jot while one faction on PH has gone mental on the subject.

Job needs to be done so, someone has to do it. Admirable.
