So the prize for the first broken promise after the election goes to………..Nigel Farage. He’ll probably claim that, technically, he did resign as leader of UKIP having failed to get elected in Thanet, only to be “begged” not to quit by his party’s executive. But does this really honour his promise to quit if not elected?
What it confirms is that UKIP really is a one man band and is incapable of turning itself into a mature political party.
