According to the English Democrats, the entire West Dorset branch of UKIP has resigned and defected to them.
As a member of UKIP it’s obviously of interest to me if things like this happen but I’ve got my own branch to look after and as long as they don’t come poaching my members I won’t lose any sleep over it (I know where you live Uncles ;)).
However, when I asked for some more information on it I was told not to pay too much attention to it as they’d done that sort of thing before. So I did a Google search and it appears that as well as resigning en-masse in 2004, they have defected to the EDP three times now in the last 12 months – quite an achievement! The regional organiser for Dorset should be commended for his or her ability to establish a whole new branch in the space of a couple of months.
I don’t know what the whole story is here but it looks like somebody is playing games.
Splitters!!!
Aren’t you a supporter of the EDP as well as UKIP. I seem to remember you saying that you would vote EDP but couldn’t as they didn’t have a candidate in your area, so you joined, voted and even ran as a UKIP man? Or am i wrong here. But i am sure you said you were first and foremost a EDP man, but UKIP were the fall back.
I will support the EDP when there isn’t a UKIP candidate. The EU is as big a barrier, if not bigger, to an English Parliament as the British establishment.
Ok, so you are first and foremost and anti-EU man, over all else right? Fair nuff.
Can i ask you if you oppose an economic union along with opposing the quasi-political union?
