The party is in decline and appears to have a civil war between its continuing MEPs/employees and anyone outside of the Farage clique. Why pick a fight with Robin Page? He is a media and party asset, not some threat to the party.
The John West affair required someone in charge to arrange a meeting to sort out the matter, insisting on closure after given West an apology. Instead we watch John West get increasingly irate because of the bad manners and disrespect that have been shown. Why have Whittaker/Merchant/Farage been so inept?
Is the real problem Farage's disorganisation which means that no one is clear on their roles?

Pretty much spot on IMO. Nigel is a good media performer but a useless Party leader and organiser. He hates admin and does not delegate. He became Party leader to ensure his way of operating was NOT challenged. The example he sets means his MEPs, like him, have all gone native.
