Local party supports expelled UKIP MEP
THE local party of an expelled UKIP MEP says she has their ‘full support’.The Solihull & Meriden UKIP branch hit out at national bosses for telling Nikki Sinclaire to leave the party.
It dashes her hopes of contesting the Meriden seat – held by Conservative MP Caroline Spelman – at the General Election.
Her expulsion comes after she refused to back UKIP’s alliance with ‘extremist’ parties. Parties have to sit in broad groups in the European Parliament.
In a statement, the branch said it was ‘disappointed at recent NEC decision removing Nikki Sinclaire the UKIP Meriden PPC from the national approved list of candidates and condemn the National Executive Committee for their treatment of Nikki’.
It said: “Nikki Sinclaire MEP enjoys the full support of the committee in her recent decisions.
“We are perplexed at reports Nikki has difficulties with the 'voluntary' party. Nikki has always given full - co-operation with the branch that has led to success for UKIP.
“Nikki retains the full support of her local branch, the largest branch in the West Midlands.”
National UKIP leaders had said: “She has also proved unable to collaborate adequately with the voluntary party in the United Kingdom, particularly with the regional committee in the West Midlands.”
On her blog, the MEP said she there had been no disciplinary procedure.
She said: “With only eight weeks before a General Election I find it absolutely amazing that the Party decided to open a sore wound rather than fight the real enemy.”

Meriden UKIP hopeful expelled
A UKIP MEP has been kicked out of the party, ending all hope of her standing for the party in Meriden at the General Election.
Nikki Sinclaire has been told she cannot represent UKIP as a West Midlands MEP in the European Parliament.
It comes after she refused to back UKIP’s alliance with ‘extremist’ parties. Parties have to sit in broad groups in the European Parliament.
A statement from UKIP said: “Nikki Sinclaire says that her political views are incompatible with those of some members of the EFD Group in the European parliament, of which the UKIP MEPs form part. So she has been sitting as an unattached MEP since 18th January 2010.
“She has also proved unable to collaborate adequately with the voluntary party in the United Kingdom, particularly with the regional committee in the West Midlands.
“The national executive committee has therefore removed the whip; Nikki Sinclaire may no longer describe herself as a UKIP MEP, and she may not stand as a UKIP candidate in the forthcoming General Election.”
On her blog, the MEP said she there had been no disciplinary procedure.
She said: “With only eight weeks before a General Election I find it absolutely amazing that the Party decided to open a sore wound rather than fight the real enemy.”
She had hoped to contest Conservative MP Caroline Spelman at the General Election.

UKIP hopeful lashes out
A UK Independence Party politician has deepened a row with her party that saw her axed as its MP candidate for Meriden.In a posting on her website, Nikki Sinclaire attacks UKIP for aligning itself with ‘extremist’ groups in the European parliament.
The MEP left the ‘Europe of Freedom and Democracy Group’ last week, leading UKIP to ban her from standing for any more elections.
Political parties join other parties in the Parliament which share similar views.
She hoped to fight Conservative Meriden MP Caroline Spelman at the ballot box in this year’s genera; election.
Miss Sinclaire wrote of EFD: “The group contains parties who have a variety of extremist views which includes racism, anti-Semitism and violence.”
EFD did not want Britain to withdrawn from the EU, conflicting with UKIP policy, she said.
And she wrote: “Neither the public nor most journalists have ever heard of EFD. Our media coverage results from what UKIP, its MEPs and campaigners do and say.”
Last week UKIP national executive committee chairman Paul Nuttall said EDF ‘is the only true Eurosceptic grouping in the European Parliament’.
He said: “All UKIP candidates signed a declaration that they would agree to join the Group, and pool our resources in order to continue our fight against the European Union. Nikki Sinclaire has dishonoured that pledge.”
