UK Independence Party conference

ENGLAND: Bristol: INT Robert Kilroy-Silk MEP (UK Independence Party) interview SOT - the Tory party is a dying party, there was a suggestion today that we might want to make some deal with those Euro-Sceptic Tory MPs and not contest their seats, I think that's silly, that's giving them the breath of life, we should kill them off and repace them & I think that's what we'll do / we're concerned about the issue of Europe, getting our country back & governing ourselves in Westminster / we want to put that point of view firmly throughout the country, we want to give everyone the opportunity to vote for it / I'm not elected to worry about the health of the Tory party / if Labour party had worried about Liberal party when they were formed in 1906, would never have become government 18 years later / if Labour party could form government within 18 years, what's to say UKIP couldn't - pace of change is greater - (when asked who will lead UKIP party into general election) the leader is Roger Knapman / (when asked if he will still be the leader come the election) I don't know, ask him / (when asked if the party would do better if a more familiar face like his was leading it, as many donors think) you obviously hear what they have to say, I can't speak for them, I can only speak for myself, can't speak for other people, they have their own views, they must articulate them / (when asked if he ambitions to be the leader of UKIP at some point) I have great ambitions for my country, I have great ambitions that we should change the face of British politics, and I think we are presented with a massive and a wonderful opportunity Clean Feed Tape = D0509173 OR D0509174 00:07:09:00 - 00:09:49:00 FX/FX Programme as Broadcast Tape = D0509172
