Nigel Farage Withdraws His Resignation!

[Jomlett]

Nigel Farage tendered his official resignation as leader of Ukip to the NEC. This offer was unanimously rejected by the NEC members who produced overwhelmingly evidence that the Ukip membership did not want Nigel to go!

steg; Could it be that you find the voting system "fair" simply because the outcome, i.e. that UKIP got an unrepresentative result, suits you?

"Not just UKIP, the next Labour Leader is not obvious (probably Cooper). The choice on offer for Labour is a very poor bunch. At least if Cameron had gone, there would have been a queue for his job. "

The reason it isn't obvious by contrast with UKIP is precisely because there ARE a lot of strong options.
It won't be Yvette Cooper I'll tell you that now, though. Liz Kendall might be a better bet as the first female leader, but there's no rush.

No, like the SNP I'm all for pr, we have a form of pr for the Scottish elections.
But we have a system just now that has been in use for a long time, and was voted for to keep not long ago.
