This will not end well. It's also not a joke. Take it very seriously.
This move has been couched as being about 'the bantz'. Look, here's 3 shitposters joining a struggling party!

UKIP now has an increased audience, access to new funding sources and social media savvy. It's refreshed and young(er).

It's also a way of normalizing Alt-Right ideas.
Why start your own party when you can just hijack an existing party - all the benefits with half the effort.?

Don't assume this is about electoral success. It won't be their main aim - they will be looking to use UKIP as a giant speaker.

They're outflanking the Identitarians.
Again, Carl, Paul & Markus isn't about electoral success - it's about plugging into the loudest speaker they can find & shifting that Overton Window with their shit playlist.

Anti-hatred groups need to be coordinated & smart about how they handle this.
