| Description | Richard Braine has resigned as leader of Ukip weeks ahead of the UK’s next general election.
After less than three months in the post, and following a string of leaders who have all failed to unite the party, his resignation will raise questions over whether Ukip can continue as a viable political force in British politics.
In a resignation letter, he blamed “internal conflict”, and said he found himself “powerless to prevent a purge of good members from the party”.
His predecessor Gerard Batten said Mr Braine was resigning because the party’s chairman and its National Executive Committee “made it impossible for him to do his job". |
