I am not in the least surprised that Lis Duffy scored so highly because
1)she is young and articulate
2)she was the only woman candidate
3)she hasn't as far as I am aware upset anybody
4)unlike the leadership elections where many were either totally for or against Farage or Ski such polarisation was not evident in the NEC contest
As I now recall the only weighting was reflected in the number of candidates one voted for.Clearly more people put Lisa down than others.
Will it not be the case that apart from the whingers and a a few high profile resignees those not renewing their membership of UKIP would be the less interested/inclined to vote.
A turnout of over 40% is to be commended not knocked.
