Farage stays as UKIP leader after resignation rejected
Very hypocritical of him to do this. I actually like Farage a lot and if I were in the UK I would vote UKIP (although vote CON tactically if it makes a difference.) But this stunt will cost him a lot of good will and make him out to be yet another politician which he claims he is not.
Never understood why politicians make those promises. I doubt it wins them many votes and it boxes them in like in Farage's situation.
OTOH, it was probably the right choice for UKIP to keep him on.
