Who wants the PM's job now?

I hear Nick Griffin is available if the new party materialises.

He's too violent and stupid.

They will probably just ask Douglas Carswell and that UKIP woman who doesn't p*ss people of to lead the party.

Unbelievable reading that article although I already knew most of it but:

The Bristol-based founder of GoSkippy and Southern Rock insurance is the largest donor to Farage’s party and, in what is thought to be the biggest ever single donation to a UK political cause, spent £5.6m of his personal fortune funding the Ukip-backed Leave.EU campaign.

Yep, the anti-establishment party, funded by big business of course and really it looks like it's his own personal toy...

“Arron is an entrepreneur in business and in politics,” said Farage’s spokesman.
...
Banks has been credited with professionalising Ukip’s referendum push through the Leave.EU campaign. He deployed senior executives and staff from his insurance companies and hired the Washington DC political campaign strategy firm Goddard Gunster on a multimillion-pound fee to sharpen its message.

The next decade or five's challenge for UKIP, if they choose to accept it, will be to try their luck in getting uk to trigger the article 50, and if they are extremely lucky at that... try and get uk to exit the EU

I don't think either of that will happen, ever

He's too violent and stupid.

Erm... It was a joke.

Erm... It was a joke.

Since political parties have gone mad it is a possibility.
