Christine Hamilton rules out standing for UKIP in the South West; tweets: 'I have NO interest in standing for ANY elected office within #UKIP'
Thursday, 20 December 2012
Last week I posted a blog referring to a piece written by Michael Crick about whether Neil and Christine Hamilton are being lined up to be next UKIP MEPs for the South West region at the next election in 2014.
The tweet conversation:
Christine Hamilton has since been in touch via Twitter and refuted this suggestion, categorically ruling herself out of running for any position within UKIP and stating that if the party leader Nigel Farage were to ask her “the answer is NO NO NO NO NO”.

While the EU in its current form is far from perfect, he is nonetheless firmly of the belief that the UK's prosperity and place in the world is best served as a member state and not as an isolated bystander.
This blog seeks to document the work that our region's MEPs do for us in Brussels. As such, predictably, it rarely features UKIP.
