UKIP funding crisis also an opportunity

Now that UKIP is nearly bankrupt again, it seems to me that they might as well make the most of the situation and amalgmate with the BNP, in much the same way that the Liberals merged with the SDP.

Well, why not? They are both Eurosceptic, anti-immigration, pro-death penalty, against invading Muslim lands, pro-grammar schools, for starters.

Now that the BNP are going to be officially non-racist, what is the problem? In fact, the BNP is now in the course of amending its constitution so that it is EHRC-compliant.

Remember the two Davids that were the LibDems?

The Nigel and Nick Show is a close enough resemblance.

Perhaps a tactful suggestion from Nick that Nigel might like to attend their Blackpool Conference next month might be in order.

The British National Independence Party (the "B Nips" is a rather catchy name, don't you think?) would then, all things being equal, become the third political party in Britain, eclipsing the LibDems, and overthrow the liberal establishment.

Surely that prospect is enough to generate a little frisson of co-operation amongst that squabbling rabble?

It can be done, it should be done, in time for the next general election too.
