UKIP MK Man Phillips says he does not want UKIP Leader to stay

In a leaked mailing from the United Kingdom Independence Party. It revealed that Milton Keynes UKIP man Michael Phillips is standing for the UKIP National Executive on a one policy platform to make Robert Kilroy-Silk leader - despite the fact that Kilroy-Silk has quit the UKIP party to form his own far-right wing party.

UKIP are a joke said Robert Kilroy Silk

Sam Potts said "The far right in Milton Keynes is crumbling day by day. There are now 6 far right party's in MK, The Conservative Party, The extremest Conservative Party, UKIP loyalists to there unknown leader, UKIP non loyalists who want to be lead by Kilroy Silk, The Kilroy Silk Party and the BNP. Split and squabbling amongst themselves, it is quite clear none of them are serious contenders in Milton Keynes.

"It is now rumoured that Mr Phillips is to stand as a Veritas candidate rather that a UKIP candidate.

"What is needed is a party that will stand up to Tony Blair and the Liberal Democrats are the only party that will do that.
