There is already a “bank of people out there” who will never return to the established parties, he said.
He has been endorsed by the Ukip leader of Thanet council Chris Wells, who said: “He will attract the support of MEPs, councillors and assembly members across the land, and, more importantly, fire the imagination and enthusiasm of party members”.
If Ukip “ceases to be an electoral force”, Leave voters will end up with a “mealy-mouthed, backsliding” version of Brexit, he said.
Ms Evans won just 2,973 votes out of a total 15,405 – reflecting the tough year she has had after falling out with Nigel Farage.
To do that, Nuttall, a former history teacher, will also have to pacify Arron Banks, the British businessman who is UKIP’s main source of funds.
“Israel’s main problem is its bad PR”, Nuttall told a gathering in Jerusalem a year ago. “That’s my aim and I believe we can do that”. The runner-up, former UKIP deputy chair Suzanne Evans, received less than 20 percent of the vote. This followed an embarrassing scuffle with fellow UKIP MEP Mike Hookem in the European Parliament.
“In recent weeks, my relationship with the party has been increasingly hard and I feel it is now time to move on”. His election marks a new chapter for the party, after months of in-fighting and confusion since the Brexit vote.
“We have to focus our resources”, he said. They tend to be the most patriotic.
In the aftermath of Trump’s win – fueled by white, working-class votes in the Rust Belt – the Democratic Party has wracked its brains to figure out how to reclaim the party’s mantle as champion of the working class.
The clip seeks to publicly shame Nuttall and present him as a threat to the UK’s national health service. “I think what people are crying out for is a change”.
“We will be focusing on the issues that really matter to working class people”.
However, just hours into his leadership, Mr Nuttall was already on the back foot over diversity in his new UKIP team.
“I am my own man”. Nigel and I have been drinking for years.
Nigel Farage (L) joins Donald Trump at a rally in Jackson, Mississippi, August 24, 2016. “Or he could be honorary president if he wanted to be”. Am I going to be a backseat driver? No.
The intent here is clear, UKIP may intend to be the catalyst for U.S. and United Kingdom relations moving forward with Nigel Farage possibly becoming the liaison with his new formed relations to Donald Trump.
“It is Brexit that directly led to the Establishment getting beaten on the 8th of November and Donald J. Trump about to take the presidency”, Farage said, referring to the US presidential election.
