YP Comment: Ukip's true colours
HOW times change. Exactly two years ago, Ukip polled almost four million votes in the 2015 election thanks to Nigel Farage's unique leadership style and the public's mistrust of the main parties.
Now Ukip is fighting for its soul and very future. Its leader Paul Nuttall lacks all credibility following the embarrassment of his exaggerated CV, not least the crass comments about the Hillsborough disaster, while disaffected officials have resigned en masse in Rotherham, one of the party’s strongholds. If they can’t agree amongst themselves, how can they be trusted with the levers of government?
A party which helped to change Britain with its ultimately successful campaign for the UK to leave the European Union, will this election mark the beginning of the end for Ukip? It appears so.
