Retro...I thought that Farage was still the UKIP Leader ? Mind you, he was and then he wasn't, then he was again.....so you can see how its easy to be confused !
UKIP has lost a valuable MEP as a front man in the organisation, who was their "economics spokesman". Given that this party is trying to get away from its previous only reason to exist, to get Britain out of the EU, and be seen as a more rounded and complete political party, to lose a person in a major role like this must be seen as a blow to its credibility.
And lets face it, UKIP needs all the credibility it can get.
