UKIP in Chaos Over “Betrayal” Offer to Tories

December 1, 2009 - By BNP News

backstabThe fake UKIP party is in chaos today after its South East Candidates’ Association chairman, David Samuel, demanded a meeting with party leader Lord Pearson over the plan to sell-out that party’s membership in a secret deal with the Tories.

In addition, two UKIP MEPs have announced that the party faces a “wave of resignations” after news leaked that its leaders offered to disband the party and join the Tories behind everyone’s backs.

According to the email circular sent by Mr Samuel to all UKIP prospective parliamentary candidates last Saturday, entitled UKIP South East Candidates Association – Meeting Sat 5 December, tension is running high within that party over the secret sell-out deal.

“The revelation that our new party leader, Lord Pearson, with the blessing of Nigel Farage, had a few months ago made an offer to David Cameron that UKIP would stand down from the general election in return for a binding referendum on the Treaty/Constitution, has brought forth an entirely foreseeable torrent of reaction from PPCs in the South East,” Mr Samuel wrote.

“I have today emailed Malcom Pearson inviting him to attend and speak to and with us at our meeting next Saturday . . . I have no doubt that he will wish to take the earliest possible opportunity of meeting his PPCs in what is the strongest region in the country. As soon as I receive a reply I will let you know,” Mr Samuel wrote.

Meanwhile, London UKIP MEP Gerald Batten and West Midlands UKIP MEP Nikki Sinclaire both confirmed to a daily newspaper that they had been barraged with calls since the news broke that Mr Farage and Lord Pearson had offered a deal to the Tories to disband and join that party if David Cameron agreed to hold a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty.

“I am appalled they can offer to sell the party down the river to the Tories — it is a betrayal of the members and we will probably see a wave of resignations over this,” Mr Batten, who came second in the recent leadership race in UKIP, told the press.

“If he had run in the leadership election telling people that is what he had done, he would have come bottom. The membership do not want it and it has caused outrage.

“I have been saying all along we have not just got to talk to the Tory voters but also the Labour voters who are not going to vote Labour any more. This makes it much more difficult.

“Having a Lord as leader of the party who is trying to do deals with the Tories is going to make it that much harder to win the disenchanted working class votes.”

Nikki Sinclaire, who came third in the leadership challenge, said she had been “called by angry members threatening to resign.”

Significantly, Ms Sinclaire directed her anger against fellow MEP Mr Farage for asking Lord Pearson to offer the deal to the Tories in the first place.

“I do not see what legitimacy Nigel had to make such a deal. A lot of members feel very cheated judging by the amount of phone calls I have received.

“Ultimately the members should have been consulted to have negotiations with any party, it should have gone to a referendum among the membership. People have contacted me talking about resigning.”

The fact that its leaders are prepared to disband their own party behind their supporters’ backs is not only a gross betrayal but also final proof that the whole premise of UKIP is fraudulent.

While the EU super state and the Lisbon Treaty — which came into effect today — are deadly threats to Britain’s sovereignty, the reality is that without a halt to mass Third World immigration there will be no more Britain to worry about in 30 or so years’ time. Mass immigration was, and remains, Tory policy.

The UKIP leadership’s deliberate dismissal of that reality through their willingness to embrace the Tories should serve as an important wake-up call.

It is now clear that Mr Farage and Lord Pearson’s agenda remains solely limited to lobbying the Tory party and nothing else. UKIP supporters are being taken for an expensive ride.
