One good reason for not entrusting the future of the country to the people who think leaving the European Union will solve everything, is that those people look rubbish at handling money. First, if we're to believe the latest allegations, Vote Leave had more wonga than it could legally use, so breached electoral law by laundering its spending via a tiny unofficial campaign run by a 23 year old fashion student.
In contrast, the people who started this whole sorry business, Ukip, are so short of money that they've been reduced to a crowdfunding campaign to keep the clown car on the road. They apparently need £100,000 "to save Ukip whilst it restructures its position." Last week they'd raised just £610 of that figure. This week they're up to ...
... £620. At this rate, by my reckoning, they'll have raised enough money to save the UK branch of the Vladimir Putin Appreciation Society in about 190 years.
Admittedly the party's youth wing, Young Independence, has taken a bit of time off from trying to organise rallies for failed neo-Nazis to cough up £2,000 towards the crisis appeal, but even with two grand from the Batten-Jugend, they're only up to two and a half percent of their target.
