And from the BBC story:
A UKIP source said her resignation was "of no great significance".
The party was growing at a "rate of knots", they added. "She is just one voice out of a total membership of 2,000 in our youth wing."
Ms Thandi, a student at the London School of Economics, had been a member of Young Independence, UKIP's Youth Wing, for three years.
She spoke at the 2012 party conference and has appeared on Channel 4 News.
And a [UKIP] party source told the BBC: "She's a young person and she speaks her opinions. I'm free not to consider them very important.
"I don't regard her as a person I should spend a huge amount of my time bothering about."
The source dismissed her suggestion that UKIP now focussed on immigration above issues like low taxation and a smaller state.
He suggested she was a "theoretical libertarian" and UKIP had a much broader agenda.
