UKIP way of running things..............

[mk1]

UKIP have a majority (just!) on Thanet Council and we can see how it turned out here:

Short version. UKIP ran on one issue and are now laying the ground so they can back out and do a complete U-turn.

This week I am UKIP, next week..............?

Any truth in the whisper that Angela Merkel wants to join UKIP?

The UK Independence Party has lost overall control of its only council.

The party won 33 seats on Thanet District Council, Kent, in May, making it the first authority in the UK to have a UKIP majority.

UKIP councillor Jeff Elenor announced on Tuesday he was defecting to join the Democratic Independent Group.

He joins four other UKIP councillors who defected last month saying they were unhappy with the council's lack of action over Manston Airport.

They also said they were unhappy about what they felt was insufficient focus by the council on issues such as housing, mental health and disabilities.....................

I wonder what 'issues'  this UKIP council  were concentrating on?

Whether they should let Angela Merkel join them or not.
