Sadly without Nigel Farage the party is a busted flush.Just came back from walking the dog and couldn't help but tune into the O'Brien show and for once he is right.UKIP should have left the stage and rode off into the sunset after the referendum;about that there is no doubt.
Nuttall has zero personality. Whatever possessed me into putting my hard earned on the fella, it must have been a moment of sheer madness.As "JOB" correctly pointed out Nigel was nowhere near Stoke during this by election and perhaps if he had been there it might well have been a different result.In fact had a local UKIP canditate been put forward then i'm fairly sure UKIP would have been successful in Stoke. Nuttall had no resonance with the area and it was a gross error on his behalf to stand.
So there we have it..UKIP will no longer be getting my vote.Controlling our borders was the main reason i voted for the party in the first instance but May has picked up the baton(hopefully)and the Tory's are now the only party remaining where i can wear my hat.Still love the passion that Mr Farage exudes and i will always be one of his biggest supporters but as far as UKIP is concerned i have handed in my notice.

You must have triple checked the spelling and Grammar on that post……
Right…… three more weeks and we will have you voting labour

the issues that UKIP address are too important to be a matter of personalities.
You ain't wrong spotty...(think it might have been five actually)
people didn`t want to vote for this particular candidate, that`s ok.
if ukip can't beat labour,they will never beat the tory party
only power they had was europe and that's going

nothing has changed in Britain xmoney, until it does then people should not vote for any of the main parties
lfc..I agree to a degree in what you say but in not gaining Stoke it really was a massive own goal. UKIP are a rudderless vessel and i can't see that changing anytime soon.No point in supporting a party that in your heart of hearts is going nowhere..not dissimilar to Labour
A coalition with the Conservatives would be the perfect scenario

NEWS! Paul Nuttall denies ever standing in a Stoke by-election
NEWS! Paul Nuttall denies ever standing in a Stoke by-election
brexit was not about voting for a party, it was about the issues.
in this referendum, and in general elections people vote tribally, for the same party.
the party they have always voted for, the party their parents voted for, it is very hard to change that.

for people to change there has to be an overriding issue or a very outstanding individual candidate.
The UKIP bandwagon has turned into one of those Clown cars that falls apart bit by bit with the Clowns desperately trying to put it back together.
Twizzle, yesterday I said UKIP were finshed and are heading the same way as the BNP, and you called me a raving lunatic...
Paul Nuttall 5th attempt to become an MP. Nigel Farage's 7 times 
Nuttall is a rotten egg, sooner he goes the better.
21.00 tonight on ITV. Piers Morgan's Life Stories - Nigel Farage.
As Farage said tonight on the interview with Morgan, UKIP basically has no reason to exist unless the referendum result is ignored by the mainstream parties.
If May and the tories take us out of the EU and actually finish what they have started, then UKIP is over as a political force. If, however, the referendum result is ignored, UKIP has to be around as a party so that they can be voted for. And when asked if he would come back, Nigel said (something like) if they do not deliver Brexit, never say never.

Interesting though that Nigel's wife and kids were nowhere to be seen in the audience!
The reason Labour won at Stoke was because it's always been a safe Labour seat.
And the right wing vote was split between UKIP and the Tories.
The op seams more interested in personalities than policies.
In fact no one even mentions the other two main candidates and their parties in the Stoke by-election.
Doesn't anybody give then any credit?
As for UKIP riding into the sunset like O'Brien suggests.
Doesn't he realise they'll still have all those MPs in the EU Parliament for more than another two years until we final leave?
Then there are all the hundreds of councils seats they hold.
O'Brien's job is to slag off any right-winger he sees on sight. That's his job on LBC, and on the BBC as well these days.
Because of that. I wouldn't pay much attention to what James O'Brien says at all.
He's long abandoned any pretence of fair play when commenting on political events.
