After
Farage’s resignation I was at a loss. Who would be the next leader of UKIP and
who had the vision to take us forward as a political party? Steve Woolfe is a great MEP and a stalwart of UKIP but does not appeal to me and with Suzanne Evan’s
leadership bid being blocked I had no idea who I saw as the leader of UKIP.
There was nobody who was suspected to stand who I could put my utter faith in to
take UKIP forward, rebrand and fight tooth and nail for Brexit.
That
was until Jonathan Arnott MEP threw his hat into the ring. Jonathan has a true
vision for UKIP, we are no longer a party of protest but a party for the future
of the United Kingdom. No means 'no' and that is regardless of the views of
Theresa May or Jeremy Corbyn, we as a party must fight to secure the best deal
possible for the United Kingdom outside of the European Union.
Jonathan’s
visions for UKIP are exactly what I hoped a candidate would announce. We must
reach out to the 13.6 million people who voted to leave on June the 23rd but did
not vote for UKIP in the general election. The traditional Labour voters
especially in the North East (the area where Jonathan is an MEP) have been
abandoned by the champagne socialists who have completely forgotten the working
class that they claim to represent. They are too busy holding secret meetings
and internal infighting.
Conservative
voters will also be looking for something new along with some of their
membership because of one woman, Theresa May. Her chief of staff is Stephen
Parkinson worked for Vote Leave, this shows the true moral standing of some
elitist Conservatives.
Their payroll is more important than their values, they do not need to care about what really happens to this country as inside their little bubble everything will always be fine. The Conservative party’s membership will not stand for appointing a prime minister through the backdoor; UKIP should be willing and ready to take these hardworking activists and with Jonathan we will be. The Conservative party have denied the British public the best opportunity to get the best possible deal when leaving the European Union and they will not forgive or forget if the negotiations are screwed up.

As
Jonathan said, the British people need to see a credible plan for Brexit, how we
will create jobs and how we will deal with crime. They need a party which helps
the workers, rewards hard work and supports SMEs. We as a party need to empower
women and allow stay-at-home mums who want to work get there through improving
our education system which is currently failing them. UKIP is not
anti-immigration, it is anti-uncontrolled mass net immigration. The powers will
soon flood back from Brussels to Westminster and this power needs to then,
through devolution, come back to the people.
Nobody can become the new Farage, he was a one off. He fought 7 days a week, 18 hours a day to give us this referendum. He created and connected with UKIPs core voters and is one of the best orators of our time and Jonathan knows that this will be hard to emulate. He wants to do things differently, drawing on the vast talents, skills and expertise within UKIP. A team-based approach would bring even more democracy into UKIPs internal structures and give volunteers in UKIP the opportunity to shine.

These
ideas are the exact reason I joined UKIP, a party for the people without elitism
where everyone has a voice and is allowed an opinion, with no whips and no
“party line” but modernising and becoming more professional will increase UKIP’s
chances in the future, we are no longer protesting the establishment and this
vision from Jonathan will take the party forward and make us the unstoppable
force we can be. Huff Post.
