His resignation was rejected... He didn't unresign
When people mock you, that is when the end is near.
Bravo I say.
The Farage thing is like when a Dalek shot David Tennant's Doctor and he regenerated. Into another David Tennant Doctor
The NEC also concluded that UKIP’s general election campaign had been a great success.
How the heck is a net loss of one MP a great success?
Read the article by Libby Purves in today's Times. She records all the comments she's received in her twitter account, from various luminaries, recording their horror, astonishment, and despair at the Conservatives' victory. Apparently, we now live in Mordor; immigrants will be deported; the NHS will be dismantled, and the poor will starve.
Very disappointing.
@PickardJE: When Farage was asked on Friday if he would definitely resign (by @christopherhope) he replied: “Are you calling me a liar?"
Yes, Nige, we are calling you a liar.
Two inept sides fighting it out, and economic fear/uncertainty wins it for the Status Quo
Everything seems to spell doom for UKIP according to their detractors. Even quadrupling their vote was a disaster. This does look silly, but it's unimportant.
Presumably UKIP will have no problem if Carswell decides to un-defect.
Ukip voters love Farage and the other parties hate him...
He was and is the best man for the job and he is still in situ... Fantastic
I am very sadly genuinely ecstatic!!!
Not what you wanted hear whilst having your breakfast.
With a potential EU referendum round the corner he will do a better job outside parliament holding a pro EU Cameron to account than most of the Tory backbenchers.
Ukip appoint a bloke that they all wanted... Disaster!
Everything changes and yet everything stays the same.
I'm sceptical about some aspects of the EU, and can see some circumstances in me voting to withdraw from the EU, but, the way Farage and some Kippers make the argument for withdrawal is repugnant.
@DouglasCarswell: wtf?
You had two incumbents, and Reckless, to quote someone here, was up against the inept Kelly Tolhurst
How did he manage to lose that.
He should take the break anyway. There's nothing of importance likely to be happening for a few months. If a referendum on the EU is coming, he'll need all his energy for that.
The vast majority of kippers want him to stay as he still has much to give UKIP in the way of leadership. True UKIP needs more leaders and they will have them in time. It's also true that no one is indispensable, but to say that farage isn't still an asset is just plain sour grapes.
Seriously, the NEC could refuse to accept Ed's resignation too. Now that would be funny.
Why would other parties even have an opinion on this? Farage is hugely popular in Ukip, I didn't hear any criticism of him since the election, I said I hoped he would stay and he has
Let's all be happy! You have your majority and we still have our man!

Still, I hope that Nigel takes a well deserved vacation 4 rejuvination
In Ilford North, they got 8.9%.
UKIP 1
'As one source close to him put it; 'he was the last bar to action against the BBC and now his reluctance has evaporated.'
Cameron will no doubt get a lot of support from Ed and his former shadow cabinet members for standing up against a large corporation.
I mean I died again on Election Night. So, I'm not...I'm not...my cats' lives are out. I...I just wanna say sorry to all the fans and stuff, and uh, I'm glad to be alive, and sorry to me mum as well.
I just want them to know that it's not cool. It's not a cool thing to be an addict. It's not...you know, you're a slave to it, and it took...it's taken everything away from me that I loved, and so I've got to rebuild my life.
"He looks as though he's badly in need of a rest and his usual bonhomie has been notably absent in recent media appearances."
That's been true.
But with Carswell stating today that he wasn't interested in the job, I suspect collusion.
The next watershed will be when they get one elected who isn't a defector being re-elected.
Very good news for those of us who are pro-Europe. Farage completely discredits the out movement and this keeps him front and centre.
Should also lead to comedy when he loses the referendum and doesn't quit over that either!
You do realise David Cameron doesn't do everything on his own don't you?

I do like Isabel Hardman.
Farage should resign. You could argue him contesting for the leadership against others is valid, but just staying on is not. Daft sod.
Mr. Eagles, entirely possible to not be a Kipper and be very sceptical of the EU.
"Would you mind placing your hand luggage on the belt Mr Miliband?"....."Umm it appears you have gone over the baggage allowance Sir. You may want to remove that large stone before boarding"
very senior @UKIP fig tells bbc @Nigel_Farage decision to stay 'was a mistake', which would undermine his record for straight talking.

I think she would be a massive risk for Cameron as he does seem condescending toward women.
In terms strategists, David Cameron = Norman Schwarzkopf, Nigel Farage, is the man dressed in the cat suit, outside Picadilly Basin, who shouts meow at anyone who walks pass.
@ChrisGibsonNews: Big David Miliband exclusive coming up at 5pm @bbcnickrobinson @DMiliband @Ed_Miliband @BBCNews
Take nothing away from Lynton Crosby and the rest, he was worth every penny and in hindsight ran a great campaign, but Mr Farage has done more relatively speaking for his party than Mr Cameron has.
Return ticket to Clacton ?

But yes no prizes for guessing Mr Carswell won't be overly enamored with this decision!
Why would anyone but kippers care?
How do you feel about UKIP being the only challengers to Labour in the North?
I nearly voted Tory for the first time, if I lived in a marginal I probably would have done, however arrogant egotistical twats like you are always there to remind me not to.
