[...]<br /><br />Mr Coburn denied Mr Woolfe's claim that UKIP was in a "death spiral" and had become ungovernable.<br /><br />He said the incident between Mr Woolfe and Mr Hookem had been "regrettable" but had involved only two people rather than the whole party. [...]<br /><br />Mr Coburn said: "I keep saying it is country, party and self last. It is ideas that count, not individuals. What we are looking for is an agenda for the future, we are publishing it now and that is how we are moving forward."<br /><br />The joy of that is the hint that, beyond the "regrettable" <i>mano a mano</i>, there could be the possibility of "the whole party" having a barney. Popcorn concession available?<br /><br />The expression <i>mano a mano</i>, in passing, is properly the description of two matadors competing for the cheers of there cheap seats.Malcolm Redfellowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11907427518823910875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-85908629645015857662016-10-19T11:34:02.081+01:002016-10-19T11:34:02.081+01:00It's very worrying that you can replace "...It's very worrying that you can replace "UKIP" with "the UK" in that article, and it's still true.Arnoldnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-71441775024503468402016-10-19T11:13:02.177+01:002016-10-19T11:13:02.177+01:00"UKIP death spiral" sounds like an extre..."UKIP death spiral" sounds like an extremely naff theme park ride....Davidnoreply@blogger.com
