How many other people have tried to change the system from within?
At Westminster, Douglas Carswell had been trying for a long time but fellow MPs ostracised and jeered at him for his efforts. People only started to listen to him and take matters seriously AFTER the Daily Telegraph published the truth and the voters saw what was really going on.
If the people inside the party are nice and comfortable and don't want anything to change, you need to get out to make a difference.
