::Actually having another look at the source and I must correct myself, it does state "sacked" in regards to Olly Neville right in the first sentence (doh!). On that basis the following would be backed by the source: 
 ::"UKIP began 2013 by sacking the chairman of its youth wing (Young Independence) from his post for supporting same sex marriage. Several days later its prospective candidate for Chester stepped down, citing their support for same sex marriage as the reason." 
 ::Though the only problem there might be now is recentism.
