UKIP Women.

Diane James.
Nigel Farage today insisted that ‘no one has done more’ than him to promote women as he tried to shake off claims his party was sexist.

The Ukip leader said women were ‘slowly but surely taking over’ his party – and that after the European elections there will be as many high-profile Ukip women as men.
He said this had been achieved despite the party not engaging in positive discrimination; a policy which he described as ‘demeaning’.
Mr Farage also said the country needed an ‘honest debate’ about our maternity laws which he said were placing a huge burden on small businesses.
He was interviewed on BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour a day after Ukip came second in the Wythenshawe and Sale East by election – pushing the Conservatives into third place.
Critics say the party has an image problem with women because of comments by senior figures such as Godfrey Bloom, who described women as ‘sluts’ last autumn.
In addition, most of the party’s top team are male, but Mr Farage insisted that was changing.
‘Ukip in the early days was very male dominated, and also amongst the voters far more men voted for us than women,’ he said.
‘We saw a change in that begin to happen last year. I think the reason for that was the three big by-election advances that we made – Corby, Rotherham, Eastleigh – all female candidates.
‘We’ve just completed our selections for the European elections and the women have done amazingly well. In fact there are some saying that women are about to take Ukip over.
