Just a quick question: I'm guessing after the election all talks of a split-off more centrist Labour movement are pretty much dead.  Am I right on this?

I think Bolton is the best bet for the party. We’ll just have to see how he does as leader.

Also, did any UKIP members, specifically ex-BNPers, leave after the vote?

Was this whole thing because of his girlfriend?

Either way, this internal crisis of possibly having 5 leaders in less than 2 years will probably accelerate an already-declining UKIP.

Also, I never could find the answer; why did Diane James resign?

Pretty much. His abrupt ending of his marriage for her focused the attention onto his personal life, and than when those texts leaked he was given an ultimatum by the party, simply to fight fire, that he needed to either resign or dump her. He 'chose' the latter, despite numerous reports of him being spotted having dinner and being intimate with her since, and today when interviewed he said he'd remain in contact with her. So fulfilling neither of the options, the party are mutinous.

Diane James resigned because she stood as leader on the mistaken belief she could turf out the old guard and turn it into a semi-respectable party, and was promptly disabused of that notion upon election. Rather, I suspect, she was told she'd be the change of face and agreeable representative for the party, but she'd be 'leading' in the manner she was told to.

Thanks for answering Smiley

No, because he's an open, unrepentant, and increasingly extreme anti-semite who poses a clear and present danger to every last Jewish person in the UK.

This.

Cornyn is a degenerate, anti-Semitic-tolerating idiot who should never come close to power.
