One look at the list of invited EU reformist speakers and Farage Youth makes clear Nigel Farage's intends to press on at all costs with his Pan European UKIP party despite the vote against it at conference last year and its recent two to one rejection.in a party wide referendum. Money always trumps principle for Mr Farage. Its a clear EU bribe to sabotage UKIP's core purpose and policy. Does Mr Farage care? Of course not. Its money that counts and can be counted. As St Paul wrote 'The love of money is the root of all evil'.
Farage appointee and placeman Chairman Crowther says, "I'm particularly pleased that we have guests coming from Finland, France, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Croatia and Iceland.". Look at the list of named speakers for conference, exclude Farage and Farage supporting MEPs Batten, Bloom and Nuttall and five clear groups emerge as dominant.
First the motley group of 4 mid-European EU reformists to help NF's Pan European party
Second some dodgy ex-media types.
Third the usual quota of ex or failed Tories. Neil Hamilton the disgraced and defeated former Tory stands out
Fourth around six representatives of nutty special interest groups to help the UKIP fruit case and loonie image.
Fifth, and the largest, a group of early twenties students from the Farage youth wing whom a Google search shows as Farage sycophants clearly seeking to get on the Brussels gravy train.
This list redefines the word stellar as used by Crowther to describe the speakers in the UKIP blurb. Dross might be a better description.
Under represented to the point of invisibility are the ordinary UKIP chairman and members who have got the party its electoral success by their hard work in the last two European elections.
Its the last group that worries me most. A group of young impressionable youth from lesser universities and educational institutions clearly owing allegiance to the leader and seeking preferment in Brussels from the great leader. Now what group in the 1930s does that description fit?
In the true EU tradition which EUKIP has adopted Farage simply intends to ignore the two to one vote of the members against turning UKIP into a Pan European party. He will press on and my guess is force it through the NEC which his placemen dominate as party policy. Even the recently much abused Mr Denny may have to toe the line or suffer yet more abuse. What times we live in
