UKIP - "To lose one MEP may be regarded as a misfortune; but to lose four..."

News from the wilder shores of sensibilty that ANOTHER UKIP MEP has left the party.

UKIP has a track record of butter-fingeredness towards its MEPs, in the last European Parliament it started with a dozen and finished with nine after two expulsions and a flounce-out by Robert Kilroy-Silk, to form the even madder (though not ironically named Veritas). Now, only a few months into a new European Parliament they've lost another MEP.

I suppose it should come as no surprise, given that the party's founder Alan Sked resigned the leadership and left the party, saying it was "doomed to remain on the political fringes".

Hear, Hear!
