Two test of UKIP candidates for any position which I apply are:

1.Would I be embarrassed if I took a non UKIP friend or family member to a meeting at which the candidate was to speak?
and
2.On balance, would the candidate be more likely to gain or lose votes for UKIP (bearing in mind that most voters are not UKIP members)?

The Viscount fails both tests. He would lead us into oblivion so if he should be elected leader or even stay on as deputy leader, I will tear up my membership card and never be heard of again in UKIP circles.
