They'll either appoint Robinson and implode or someone sensible and fade away (perhaps eventually merging with the Brexit Party). |  |

The fact that Farage was probably one of their most moderate figures says a lot about them |  |

Not sure that's strictly fair. Ten years or so ago a good friend of mine was a UKIP stalwart. He was actually a former LibDem councillor, just vehemently opposed to the EU as an organisation. Certainly not in the least bit racist or xenophobic (spent a lot of time in Portugal). He died a few years before the Referendum. Not to deny that there were unpleasant characters, but he wasn't alone in being a non-extremist 'Kipper.
I think what happened was that most of my friend's sort left after 2016 with Farage stepping down and the result achieved, then the islamophobic wing staged a takeover of the remaining rump party, driving away many more. | |

UKIP founder Alan Sked has had a fair few words to say about UKIP's transformation into the new BNP over the years.

That's quite a damning interview.
Sked and Farage never really got on. [Post edited 3 Jun 2019 12:43]

Well, whatever his failings, Sked is an educated man. |  |

More likely the tories will accept the brexit party as partners making UKip obsolete |  | | |

He can’t be, according to many on here all brexit supporters are thick, ignorant racists.
Of course, Brexit is a mistake, a disastrous farce and many supporters of it do fit the above, but the brush must tar all, no exceptions. | | | |

UKIP has been obsolete since the moment Farage left the party. | |

I hope they appoint Sargon of Akkad because there are certain sections of the internet I want to see explode. |  |
