That UKIP is an irrelevance in British politics is evident to all but the most blind. And changing the party logo or even the party name won't help stop the rot as long as Farage and his corrupt followers are in control. And nor will recruiting another failed ex-Tory lord add any lustre to Farage's tarnished and corrupt vehicle for keeping him on the EU Gravy Train!
Recent election results ample illustrate the continued failure of UKIP under Farage:
Lincolnshire County - Nettleham and Saxilby: C 1026, Lib Dem 600, Ukip 266, Lab 257, Lincolnshire Ind 196, English Democrats 21. (June 2009 - Lib Dem 2012, C 1129, Lab 184). C gain from Lib Dem. Swing 22.2% Lib Dem to C.
South Gloucestershire Council - Dodington: Lib Dem 787, Lab 243, Ukip 213, C 139. (May 2011 - Two seats Lib Dem 1340, 1324, C 452, 429, Lab 294, 285). Lib Dem hold. Swing 5.6% Lib Dem to Lab.
West Lindsey District - Nettleham: C 565, Lib Dem 513, Ukip 177. (May 2011 - Two seats Lib Dem 1238, 1108, C 804, 559). C gain from Lib Dem. Swing 15.3% Lib Dem to C.
So much for Farage's claim that UKIP has replaced the Lib Dems as Britain's third party!
We again urge all UKIPPERS to abandon UKIP and join Britain's newest party - We demand a Referendum.

Presumably the discrepancy between the success that UKIP enjoyed in the European parliament elections and every other is that in the Euro elections the candidates are effectively invisible because of Jack Straw's party list system. In the others, they must at some stage appear before the public who draw the obvious conclusion and vote for any other party.
