UKIP basically committed political suicide when they got what they wanted -- BREXIT. The recent full general election results, where the political party got 1.8% of the votes, proved that. Plus Nigel Farage knows the game is up. Recently he said he wouldn't hold upwards standing for the seat of leader.
The agency for the political party to accept stayed hold upwards would accept been to prepare an every bit compelling policy land they were pushing for BREXIT then that when BREXIT became a non-issue they would accept had something to autumn dorsum on. But UKIP were never much expert at thinking ahead.
Politically the political party is merely a hollowed-out husk, but it is withal quite a large build name, then if it were able to notice an number to motility on, at that topographic point mightiness hold upwards a adventure of reviving it. There is fifty-fifty the possibility that this is at i time happening afterwards reports of a surge of novel members, most of whom are thought to hold upwards anti-jihadist civic nationalists who strongly oppose Islam.
In the concluding ii weeks 1,000 novel members accept joined. This comes as the political party is getting produce to jibe a leadership election, next the resignation of Paul Nuttall, who took over from Farage afterwards he stepped downwardly inwards the wake of BREXIT.
The novel members are thought to hold upwards supporters of Anne Marie Waters, a onetime UKIP candidate inwards the Lewisham East constituency inwards 2015, who was forced to stand upwards downwardly inwards 2017 because of her views on Islam, which she described as "evil."

On Sabbatum (July 1st), Waters launched her leadership bid inwards Rotherham, a highly symbolic location, given the pedophile gang rape past times Muslim men of 1400+ English girls that the town is at i time notorious for.
Just as amongst the Republican Party together with Trump inwards the USA, UKIP's existing leadership seems to hold upwards taking a dim stance of Water's candidacy together with genuinely "advised" its local members non to attend the launch, adding that the political party did non endorse Waters’s views. What a bunch of cucks, basically.
Despite this, Waters chances are looking good. One UKIP source told the left-wing Guardian newspaper:
"It’s possible that inwards a multi-horse race without a favourite, an election would hold upwards won amongst 5,000 votes. So 1,000 novel members inwards merely ii weeks is potentially a fair agency towards distorting the result."
Yes, "distorting" is what they telephone telephone it if they don't similar people democratically supporting certainly ideas together with candidates.
If Waters did win it would most probable run into the revival of UKIP as a mainstream political force, because, similar BREXIT, none of the original parties accept policies which address the rattling existent together with reasonable fears of average Britons close the Islamification of their society.
Also standing is Peter Whittle, a London assembly member, who backs banning the niqab Islamic caput roofing inwards public. The novel leader volition hold upwards chosen past times a straight vote of members ahead of the political party conference inwards belatedly September.
The of import matter to recall inwards all this is that parties don't build policies, policies build parties, specially smaller parties that desire to grow. As BREXIT showed, picking a policy that reflects the wishes of the British public, but which the mainstream parties are neglecting, is a certainly recipe for success.
