Procedure By Which conservatives ...The solution: <br /><br />Procedure By Which conservatives Could Control Parliament<br /><br />If UKIP is Lucky, UKIP could get, perhaps, get ten to thirty seats <br />in Parliament. Do not forget, the public still regards UKIP as a <br />one issue party. To gain control of Parliament UKIP and (and frie- <br />nds) should form a new conservative party with a platform that is <br />close to that of the existing Conservative party, omitting, of course, <br />policies that are objectionable to conservatives. The purpose would <br />be to make a bed that would be easy for conservatives to slide into, <br />including the eighty percent of the Conservatives who left Conser- <br />vative associations. UKIP and the conservatives should then form <br /> a political association in each parliamentary district. UKIP could <br />merge with the new party, thus getting rid of the one issue problem. <br />Every one who would have worked to form the new, conservative, <br /> party should be prevented from joining the new party for <br />a period of time to prevent the impression that UKIP controls it. <br />The two or three conservative parties should hold a primary election <br />to determine who runs as the Parliamentary candidate, with the losers <br />to help the winner. The cost of forming new associations can be raised <br />by local contributors. It is suggested that the new conservative asso- <br />ciations and the political party be controlled by the lowest level of con-<br />servatives, such as teachers, small businessmen, solicitors, professionals<br />etc. If the above procedure can not be completed in time to get <br />candidates elected to Parliament, the new party must wait until <br />after the election and hold a petition demanding that the elected <br />MP resign. Note: an MP represents every person in his district, not<br />just members and supporters of his party. When the petition reaches <br />fifty percent of those who voted in the prior election, the conservatives <br />will be morally justified in demanding their MP"s resignation. Then the <br />new party could run their candidates in the following by elections. <br /> <br />To select a candidate, a local association should advertise for applicants<br />or the position of candidate for Parliament, then select the best app-<br />licant by using rigorous tests, including, most importantly, psychological <br />evaluation. psychological evaluation is an absolute necessity as the psych-<br />ological evaluation is the only way to tell who is honest and who is a con-<br />artist; members of the public cannot. Testing could be required of the <br />association officers, committee members and delegates, etc. <br /><br />The platform, selected by new party associations, should be some what <br /> vague in order to facilitate integration the platforms of the new assoc-<br />iations into one platform. It is suggested that self forming cliques of those <br />who are honest and trust worthy be formed; then form self forming <br />cliques of those who have political skills and capabilities, within the <br />first described clique. <br /><br />The corruption in Ukip is a cause for concern.

I suppose you can attribute that to neoliberalism too if you choose to ignore the substantial contributions made by governments and individuals.
