	Referendum
		UKIP Leader Roger Knapman MEP said that the government should now offer British voters their only say to date on whether they wanted full political union with the European Union, or preferred to retreat to the type of free-trade agreement that they voted for in the 1975 referendum.
		Mr Knapman said, “We have gone so far down the road towards full political integration that it is only right that voters should have a say, and there is not a better time than this.
		Mr Knapman added that the government has suggested a ‘No’ vote would spell the end of British membership of the European Union when it is far from clear that this is true, the consequences of a ‘Yes’ were perfectly clear — an end to Great Britain as an independent, self-governing state.

		Publishing the results, Knapman insisted that "there is no appetite amongst branch chairmen either for a leadership election, or for a change of leader".
		Knapman also said his high profile leadership rival was making "increasingly erratic and illogical statements" that would "further alienate him from the party's membership".

		Roger Knapman, the leader of UKIP, complained that journalists had employed subterfuge in order to make inquiries about the Polish workers who were working on and living in his house.
		Mr Knapman told the press watchdog he had never made any secret of the fact that he was employing Polish workers in this way and would have spoken to journalists if they had approached him openly.
		The Sunday Times said the subterfuge was necessary, claiming that Mr Knapman was unlikely to assist the paper in exposing his political hypocrisy in being leader of an anti-immigration party and at the same time employing immigrant workers.
