Farage to quit as UKIP leader if he doesn't win seat



London (AFP) - The leader of British anti-EU party UKIP Nigel Farage will resign if he fails to win a parliamentary seat at May's general election, he said in extracts of a book published Monday.
Farage is campaigning hard to win the South Thanet seat in the House of Commons at the May 7 poll, when experts predict the UK Independence Party (UKIP) will take a handful of seats overall.
But the beer-loving populist leader said it would be "curtains for me" as UKIP leader if his bid to be elected in the southeast English coastal seat was not successful.
"It is frankly just not credible for me to continue to lead the party without a Westminster seat," Farage said in his new book "The Purple Revolution", serialised by the Daily Telegraph newspaper. ...

     UKIP good, but pro-Euro parties that say race is no factor start with a lie. Would it really make no difference if ethnic Englishmen, Frenchman or Germans were all replaced by, say, Pakistanis? Shows the nutty PC Land the West has become that such blithering things are uttered even by those who claim to be defending the West.
