Time for Farage to "take a break"?

4 Million votes and it's just a protest party

They do have a couple of other ideas too

Depending on the outcome of the EU vote and whether it's fudged or not, 4 million could become 5,6,7,8 million next time.

That might double their MP's to 2

No reason why not.  Certainly nothing to be ashamed of, imo.

The only far forward thinking party (imo).

If the referendum hinges on whether or not  Farage is fronting the Exit Campaign then we may as well save the money and forget about it .  Fortunately it's nowhere near as black and white as that.

Yep, as said before ... it looks like the UKIP leader will be the main thrust of the out, although we may see business leaders getting involved as we did in the Scottish one.

Glad to have Farage around, he will try to address the imbalance to the debate that will know doubt be very heavily weighted to stay in, you heard here first.

Anything more for UKIP,  we need to see how they deal with purse strings and manage Thanet council, yet to see if they can be functional serious party at grass root level.  Also they need to win a constituency, on just a UKIP ticket from beginning to end.

We'll see. But I suspect a few concessions from the EU and all the major parties supporting in - coupled with Farage pulling a funny face and reminding everyone of the alternative - and we'll be in the EU for a long time.

And there is the argument t get someone else in...

Probably right for here, but out in the real world there are 3.9 million, and many who don't vote.
And please can we stop using that ridiculous suffix, phobe?

krish

you and your ridiculous phobophobia again

Yes, let's stop using the English language in its correct form, shall we?
