[quote][B]A senior member of the UK Independence Party has threatened to quit after accusing leader Nigel Farage of being a "Stalinist dictator" and "anti-women".[/B]
Marta Andreasen, who represents the South East England in the European Parliament, said she was unlikely to stand as a UKIP candidate next year.
She told the BBC that [B]Mr Farage did not want "intelligent, professional" women in key positions in the party.[/B]
He responded by describing the criticism as "laughable nonsense".
Of Mr Farage, she told LondonlovesBusiness.com: "Under his leadership - and I have questioned his leadership obviously a number of times - [B]the party has become a dictatorship[/B]. This is a Stalinist way of operating and he doesn't care about the membership or the grassroots."
And she told the BBC she had been openly criticised by her party leader and other MEPs, suggesting that this [B]amounted to bullying.[/B]
"I've been bullied, in private situations, for decisions I have made by Nigel. I have been accused of being disloyal, breaching confidence and breaching my contract with the party. There's an attitude that either you keep silent about everything that's been going on in the party or suffer the consequences."
Ms Andreasen said she believed Mr Farage - who was re-elected as leader in 2010 after standing down a year earlier to contest a Westminster seat - [B]"did not like women".[/B]
"I am the only female MEP," she added. "He doesn't try to involve intelligent professional women in positions of responsibility in the party. He thinks [B]women should be in the kitchen or in the bedroom[/B]."[/quote]
