We in Wales have just received the postal ballots for the regional list selections for the EU elections.
May I be allowed to quote one of the rules re this election:
"Candidates may apply to two regions, but this must be disclosed to both regional panels (and to members in the regions if any candidates make it to more than one shortlist)."
http://www.ukip.org/ukip/images/stor...tion_rules.pdf
There in NO mention of Paul Wiffen also standing in Scotland as well as Wales on the ballot papers, or in his personal address.
This is grossly unfair to the other 5 candidates standing, as well as a breach of UKIP's own rules.
I believe that the same error has been made in the London & SE region re: a candidate standing in both regions.
All that was needed was a two line sentence stating that " Candidate X was also seeking selection in region Y", stapled/added to each ballot form.
Surely, it is not to difficult for UKIP to organise an electorial ballot within
its own rules? Obviously not!!!!
