Product Description
From the Inside Flap
The Tories dismiss them as ‘cranks and gadflies’, but, in the 2004 European election, the UK Independence Party (UKIP) won 2,650,768 votes, 16.1 per cent of the total. From its inception as an obscure academic pressure group in 1991, UKIP has risen to be a major power in the land, yet little is known of its origins or its history.
Cranks and Gadflies: The Story of UKIP is the first comprehensive and authoritative account of the rise of Britain’s fourth political party. With pace and panache, the thriller-writer Mark Daniel describes UKIP’s never-ending leadership battles - culminating in the drama of the Kilroy putsch of 2004 - whilst vividly evoking the ethos of its rank-and-file members, whose stamina and enthusiasm have sustained the momentum of the UK’s fastest-growing political movement.
No one believes that there will ever be a UKIP government, but one thing is sure: while the political establishment continues to ignore the dismay and anger of millions of voters who have searched in vain for the political, economic and strategic benefits of EU membership for which they have surrendered the right of self-government, the story of UKIP will run and run.

This book came it mint condition, without any blemishes.
It also arrives within the estimated delivery date.
Furthermore, the price I had to pay for this product was a fraction of what I would be required to pay in a high street store.
Moreover, it is an incredible read for anyone interested in politics, especially concerning the antics of the UK Independence Party
