I have sympathy for the view that the UK is increasingly being run for the benefit of corporations at the expense of its citizens, but I find it laughable that anyone sees a self interested charlatan like Farrage, who has made a lucrative career from peddling peoples fears, prejudices and insecurities back to them, as any sort of 'answer'.

Farrage, UKIP and The Brexit Party are part of the problem

No, unrest is bubbling up as 17.4m people have been hung out to dry. The parties you mention offer them a solution vs the main parties who clearly don't.

They are doing extremely well, and this is the reason we have a bunch of ‘remainers’ in here bleating and whining. Always a good sign, show how strong the Brexit Party is growing daily.

The last thing a new party trying to attract more than just ex ukippers needs is retired old school bigots like her joining.

Quite frankly I doubt you think she’s good for the brexit party either.

People like her will put moderate brexiters right off your party and you will all be dismissed as another party for the angry and intolerant again. Like UKIP.

Moderate brexiteers?
I want the Brexit Partyto be attractive to all who have an interest in building a new political party. The bonus is of course it’s main ambition is that it ensures we leave the EU rather than be contained by the EU.
Said before the Party will, just like any sensible Party, ensure it weeds out extremists. I honestly believe the Brexit Party will be the best thing to happen in U.K. Politics for generations. Needs a fresh approach.

That 71 year old Ann Widdecombe with her 1950’s attitudes she’s a breath of fresh air I tell ya!

What are the party’s other ambitions (outside of its “main ambition”) that we’re all supposed to be rallying around? Presumably you have ‘inside knowledge’ because I can’t find mention of any policies.

Yes let’s have a fresh approach! We can get some retired old bigots out for a new kind of politics!

So, what are our other policies apart from wanting brexit?

^ This

Never voted UKIP except in EU elections

Only Voted Labour once when TB set them up as Tory Lite - (the Tories deserved to get spanked after the EU infighting)

Rest of the time voted Tory

Local Elections it will be Independant candidates all the way

EU elections it will be Brexit Party

If they throw a GE into the Mix at some stage I really think I will vote Labour if still led by Corbyn but that's only because I get pissed of with the constant noise on social media and the "youngsters" need to really see what a proper Labour Government would do in 5 years to make sure they don't get back in for a generation again

And think of all the catchy slogans....
No deal is better than a bad deal
Leave means leave
Brexit means Brexit
A vote to leave the EU means leaving the SM and CU
..... we will implement what you decide.
They lied to you.


Farage has a very simple powerful truth to tell.

And 17.4 million people are hacked off by being asked to decide. Taking the time to vote and then being told “fk you” by the House of Remain.

Isn't it great, we're meant to be the thick ones yet here they are using the same tactics as three years ago.

Wowsers...!!!

With Farrage and Widdecombe leading the charge, I wouldn't be holding my breath for a fresh approach.

How did I miss another referendum being announced?

Or do you have a drone about liberal elites, lefties, metropolitan bubble etc. brewing?

Not all Leavers are thick but the thick ones seem to like publicity. Shame really.

Enacting the will of the people would certainly be a fresh approach.

Oh Jesus, I can feel a mods report coming on!

For Christ sake I was being ironic contrasting AW and JRM's expressed displeasure of homosexuals with Blair's opacity onthe same (member of the same religious religious sect).

I was not expressing a personal view - many of my friends are homesexual!

I must remember not to use irony on these boards lest it offends the serially offended

No, if I was a keyboard warrior or a wimp, then I would report you. I am an adult who believes in forthright opinions, but yours crossed a line for me. Your line is clearly in a different place. I am not sure if your comment about friends was sneeringly sarcastic or sadly unaware of the cliche that it represents - either way, it is not impressive. Anyway, I will leave you to it.

It's all they have

It's all they have ever had actually

It's too hard to leave - no you made it fking hard?

The economy will suffer - Did being in the EU in 2008 help any?

People will lose jobs nobody voted to be poorer - We've been losing jobs since joining the EU but it was alright for those people who voted to stay way back then to vote to be poorer

We will have to do some proper work, take on responsibility for governance of the UK without being able to blame the EU for our own issues - Suck it up buttercup - it's never going to make up for your free ride up to this point

She seems to be rather liked in her area so time will tell. She hasn't exactly got strong competition has she?

Not wanting to remain in the EU?

Italy sure did.

Italians had a higher PPP than America. Now look at it. "perma-recession".

Hopefully we look a bit better.

Reads more like a personal vendetta against her and her principles and morality, different things have different outcomes. This individual is only one amongst a growing group, imo, it is a good thing to have a wide and varied vision of life in a political party. Certainly it is up to electorate to vote her into a position of power, or not as the situation may be.
Would you have a group of people elected on the basis that they are metronomic in thinking?

Risible.

I don't think Derek's post could have been any clearer - she doesn't think, she follows religious dogma. That is the problem.

And did someone say the party is attracting "regular joes" with a straight face? Annunziata Rees-Mogg anyone? Clearly speaks for the common man!

Here is the problem, we disagree, and I disagree with derek, obviously. The difference is I set out in my post my pov in disagreeing whereas you seem unable to debate.

Except you’re not debating, just expressing an opinion unconnected to the point that Derek clearly made. Not my problem if you don’t understand his point, it seemed very clear I thought.

Now your trolling.

But your not debating you are merely expressing an opinion! Two can play the same game you see.
New Political Party yet to develop, however most sensible rational people will understand that
development can take rather longer than just a few weeks.

Seeing Brexit to fruition is the first main ambition, clearly the established party’s have decided to lie, misrepresent, ignore and frustrate the 17.4 million voters who have instructed Government as per referendum.
The Brexit Party also has ambitions beyond the main objective, that is to oust the established Party’s to where they richly deserve to be, gone and best forgotten.

[PMacanGTS]

Farage is a media we who will say just about anything to get some attention. I suspect he was a neglected child and has unresolved father issues. He’s now taking a leaf out of the Trump playbook by promising to represent the forgotten 17.4 million, when what he really represents is an extreme neo-liberal agenda. And as the 17.4 million he claims to represent are disproportionately blue collar, it’ll be turkeys voting for Christmas once again.
