In the 1999 European Parliament elections, Booth was the number two candidate on the UKIP list for South West England. Consequently he became an MEP in 2002 as the replacement for Michael Holmes , former party leader, when Holmes resigned from the European Parliament. Booth was re-elected in 2004 with a greatly increased vote. In the 2005 General Election he contested the Torbay constituency in Devon, and gained 7.9% of the vote. UKIP MEP's frequently claim that the MEPs persuaded the EU Transport Commissioner to amend the directive, allowing the service (and similar 'social carriers' across Europe) to continue in business. Booth is currently UKIP's official spokesman on Regional Development. REFERENCES EXTERNAL LINK |
