As a number of members have asked about voting procedures for the leadership election, we have been asked by the Returning Officer, Geof Dickens, to publish the following statement. 

To listen to some sections of the media you would think that UKIP had achieved a startling breakthrough in the recent elections. Once you examine the facts, however, the story is quite different.

UKIP expected to win two seats in the elections for the Greater London Assembly. UKIP had been shown in polls at around 8% in the capital. On this basis they had boasted they would secure third place in the mayoral race for their candidate Lawrence Webb and win two seats in the Assembly, where UKIP has been unrepresented since two members defected in 2005.

In keeping with the tide of liberal fascism currently sweeping over the north west of England we received this email from the Manchester Evening News.

Here we have in black and white, confirmation, if indeed it was needed, of a newspaper seeking to pass itself off to the people of Manchester as an impartial provider of news, when in fact they are nothing of the sort.

1933 in total voted.

Labour 1113
British National Party 593
UKIP 91
Conservatives 81
Liberal Democrats 48

Seven out of ten people in Britain support the British National Party’s campaign to hold a referendum on the United Kingdom’s membership of the European Union, the latest public opinion poll on the issue has found. The result shows yet again that the majority of the British public are behind key British National Party policy, following recent similar endorsements of ending immigration and the restoration of capital punishment. 

London British National Party activists will be attending this Monday’s demonstration outside Parliament to demand our right to a referendum on Britain’s membership of the EU. 

The Cumbrian British National Party super activists were out again on Saturday, this time in Workington. Workington used to be a steel working town back in the days when we were world leaders in steel manufacture, but, since the closure of both the local foundries, it has become a town of unemployment. Consequently, the British National Party message of hope was very well received by the townsfolk. 

By Jennifer Matthys – While London burns with riots and looting, David Cameron has chosen this weekend to rule out a referendum on the European Union because of 'useful work' the EU has done for global poverty and ‘climate change’. 

"Demand your right to a choice on the European Union – and help us get Britain out before it's too late." That's my message to the people of Britain.
