At UKIPs Conference, Farage in saying that in campaigning for an EU ‘out’ that ‘he wants to put the country over the party first’ - and so clearly copying a genuine Lib Dem statement at their conference – needs to mask post referendum that there really isn’t a point of a United Kingdom Independence Party.
As for 25-years, UKIP has only had a three pillar policy list to consistently stand on; anti immigration, anti Burka and anti EU, as even in the 2015 General Election, it took them soooo long to put their chameleon manifesto together, I‘m not even sure that it WAS released prior to the booths opening on polling day.
An ongoing problem if have to modernise your UK domestic policies to public opinion polls every 4-5 years.
But UKIP is at war with itself, when their ‘Ashcroft’ type financial backer threw a hissy fit while still had direct influence on the party by threatened to de-sellect UKIP’s only Westminster MP.
26/9/15; Ukip party conference: civil war rages over EU campaign
UK Indpendence Party's sole MP threatened with deselection as leader Nigel Farage says Douglas Carswell still loyal to Conservatives

Nigel Farage has accused his only MP of having “residual loyalties” to the Tory party after Douglas Carswell suggested he would not back the Ukip-endorsed campaign to leave the EU.
Civil war broke out at Ukip’s Doncaster conference on Friday after one of the party’s biggest donors, who is supported by Mr Farage, threatened Mr Carswell with deselection unless he backed the Leave.EU group.
Aaron Banks, the man behind the group, warned Douglas Carswell he must abandon his support for the rival group Business for Britain, or risk being thrown out of the party.
The businessman also accused him (Carswell) of being “borderline autistic, with some mental illness attached”.
Proof if we need it that hell hath no fury than a political money man/trade union leader, not getting his own way.
