| Description | Nigel Farage today confirmed he would be stepping down as Ukip leader after failing to win Thanet South from the Conservatives.
In a statement, Mr Farage criticised the "first past the post" voting system as bankrupt and said electoral reform would make British politics "more open, more honest, and we would see some real, real debate."
He concluded: "I'm a man of my word - and I don't break my word. So I shall be writing to the Ukip national executive in a few minutes and saying that I am standing down as leader of Ukip." |
