Approved by the National Executive Committee,

These rules are - as with the constitution we presume - thus they have no real relevance as long term NEC member, unchallenged/corrected liar for an on behalf of the much debased Party, who was Party secretary and was thrown out as Returning Officer for dishonesty, corruption, lies and incompetence when caught - has openly claimed the constitution is only a guide!!

So it must be assumed it is only in existence to dupe the members as they believe it is THE Constitution!

This being an internal election the results are the material part as far as the unarguably corrupt and dishonest NEC, unelected puppet chairman, leader and leadership Faragista Fan Club are concerned - it is noted that John Bufton was asked to be Returning Officer for the 2009 NEC election but found a suitable excuse to duck out.

Then Malcolm Wood was appointed and accepted but we understand that he has been removed - possibly because it became too widely known that he was a liar and a cheat who had habitually lied and colluded with others, such as Hugh Williams etc., to corrupt due process.

It may well be that he was discreditted in everyone's eyes having lied about myself - trying dishonestly to pretend I had invented a story regarding Gawain Towlers sick perversions and family life - which he had to admit was a lie when he tried to absolve himself by exposing the full revolting details as confirmed to him by Towler to the committee he had only shortly before been telling lies to.

This being EUkip we are unlikely ever to hear the truth from him or The Faragisat Fan Club.

We shall no doubt see who has been tasked to fiddle this election to get the result Farage has decided on.

PLEASE do not clamour and shout that I have defamed the Great Farage - he only gained leadership through dishonesty, lies and corruption.

If you have ANY doubt that the befouled party would corrupt an election or vote and fiddle the results may I suggest that you read their own OFFICIAL internal report by their own OFFICIAL Returning Officer in the most recent selection/election just CLICK HERE for the full details of the leadership's unscrupulous dishonesty.

I have studied the list of prospective NEC members and I contend there are insufficient of calibre to resist the corrupt nodding donkeys of the Faragista Fan Club on the NEC - DON'T GRANT SUCH CORRUPTION THE MANDATE OF VOTING - it is a waste of time.

TO LEAVE THE EU

What is the exit and survival plan for these United Kingdoms to maximise on the many benefits of leaving The EU. It is the DUTY of our Politicians and Snivil Cervants to ensure the continuity, liberty and right to self determination of our peoples they have a DUTY to protect against crime and secure both our food and our border.
NONE of these DUTIES has a single British politician upheld for 40 years. They have drawn their incomes fraudulently and dishonesty.

Politicians are failing to tell the truth, but so are almost all wanabe Politicians, the MSM and Snivil Cervants.

The fact is that even if EVERY British MEP wanted change in The EU it would achieve NOTHING.
Every single British Politician, of EVERY Party, elected since before we joined the EUropean Common Market, has promised to change The EU's CAP - In 40 Years they have achieved absolutely NOTHING!

To try to put a value on OUR Freedom is as futile as floccipaucinihilipilification and as odious as the metissage of our societies, as we rummage in the ashes of our ancestors dreams, sacrifices and achievements, the flotsam of our hopes and the jetsam of our lives, consider the Country and Anglosphere which we leave our children and the future, with shame!

PLEASE POST THIS TAG AS FOLLOWS:ON YOUR eMAILS & BLOGS, FORUM POSTINGS & MAILINGS - GET THE MESSAGE TO THE PEOPLE IT IS OUR BEST HOPE AS WHOEVER IS APPOINTED WILL MAKE NO DIFFERENCE AS PROVED!

I SUGGEST – since there is clearly no political party of repute, advocating or campaigning for withdrawal of these United Kingdoms from the EU and restoration of our independent sovereign, democracy, with Justice & the right to self determination in a free country. Deny the self seeking & meaningless wanabe MEPs the Mythical Mandate for which they clamour. Diktat is imposed from The EU but Law should be made at Westminster, for our Country & our Peoples.
