Examples?

Most of them. Certainly ramping up as the party gains support.

So you're just posting meaningless words then - rather like the Brexit Party 'manifesto'!

Those meaningless words, how ironic.
The very fact is simple that even you should. e able to work it out. The Brexit Party is attracting
a huge amount of publicity via forums, National and international media.All publicity is good, so keep on posting please, even if it is your trade mark less than thoughtful prose.
Every understands, well most people, that any new venture must attract attention, are you a new venture yet to grow up perhaps?

Have I said they haven't been getting publicity? The answer is no so that has rather deflated your argument. The question was 'what is their manifesto and policies apart from the single issue of Brexit?'. Are you now claiming that it is just "publicity"? For what it's worth your fellow Leavers on this forum don't seem to share your view that the party has a future outside the single issue of Brexit - which is what you have claimed but failed to substantiate.

"Are you a new venture yet to grow up perhaps?" may mean something in your mind but possibly needs translation into something meaningful. Care to try again?

You are merely attributing your own thoughts and not reading my posts, as well as using my own words in a silly rebuff which is not helpful for you. Try reading more than one of my posts before replying. HTH

OK, so you’re incapable of saying what their policies are - probably because they don’t appear to have any. Care to answer the earlier poster - what do you think their policies should be?

Unfortunately my crystal ball is letting me down regarding future policies of a polical party that has only just been announced. Sorry to disappoint you.
Your second question, what would I like thier policies to be, TBH I generally wait for the political party to provide an election manifesto, from that I can decide if the political party is broadly in line with my aspirations and hopes. Currently the Brexit Party are putting pressure upon the established political party’s by channelling the wishes of the 2016 National referendum outcome. A reminder of the promises made and broken by the two major party’s and now broadly broken promises.

Think you will find 17.4 million voters have something to say about that, hence Brexit Party. I have always said that displeasure is best expressed via the ballot box, and that is where it will be seen. The EU Parliament is already terrified of a U.K. MEP seats dominated by Brexit minded politicians.

Why do you keep imagining 17.4 million want the same as you? People from all sorts of backgrounds voted for brexit. Only a small amount are the triggered gammons posters on here seem to represent.

17.4 million voted for brexit, it doesn’t mean we’d ever vote for a brexit party. There’s plenty of other issues I think are much more important.

I voted for brexit and wouldn’t ever vote for a one issue party especially one Farage was involved in. You frothing looneys give us moderate brexiters a bad name.

Polling suggests that positions adopted in 2016 are entrenched more now than ever before, that includes remainers and leavers. Mainstream media has. instantly reaffirmed the same sentiment. It’s a matter of fact for those that have a serious interest. ‘Moderate brexiteers’ just another name, we leave the EU as voted and instructed to Government.

No evidence of cranked up "frothing" at the mouth just you throwing some mud around. It's a fairly safe bet that most of the 17.4m Leave voters will be seriously pissed off and will protest vote for the Brexit Party + also imho the Big 2 parties need a fking kick up the arse given they have pissed all over the wishes of majority voters so a vote again for the Brexit Party may at least give them pause for thought.

I think I'm starting to prefer watching EU footage than the guffawing heckling, white paper waving house of commons?

You should definitely make that bet

[smn159]

One can only hope that the majority of the 17.4m can see Farrage's absurd posturing for what it is.

Setting himself up as a 'man of the people' against a corrupt elite is a tactic straight out of the Trump playbook and the very definition of right wing populism.

Increased division and hatred coupled with a shift to the right is the very last thing that we need and I strongly suspect that the PH right wing bubble isn't reflective of the mood of the country as a whole.

Of course, there's an easy way to stop Farage now and for good. Enact the referendum result that they overwhelmingly voted to hold.

No? Then get used to Farage because he'll be around for a while yet

I'll take a bet with you and we can pay it by paypal. Say 80% of the 17.4m voting for the Brexit Party at the Euro's?

TX.

PS I have to hope of course that more people turn out to vote given what has happened recently vs the usual ridiculous 35% ish of voters

So you’re saying almost 14m people will vote for the Brexit party in the EU elections?

The EU elections which are famous for low turnouts?

I’ll have a tenner with you.

Farage offered May his services to help us leave the EU, his offer was rejected.

No way will all 17m turn out for the Euro election, but a good number of them will which will help BP win the majority.

Has Farrage ever been an MP? What does he have to offer in EU negotiations?

Are you overlooking the facts?
Farage has been ‘at it’ for twenty years, upsetting the EU Parliament with his outrageous posing and shouting out regarding the U.K. leaving the EU. In return they laughed at him, as Farage has since told them ‘well, your not laughing now are you!’.
Trump pandered to the disaffected electorate and look where that got him. U.K. politicians are sitting up and noticing what he is up to, but are powerless to stop him, unless they push through a proper brexit. And that is whatFarage and his Brexit Party’s growing number of membership is doing.
Don’t forget that 75% of the constituencies are leave voting majority.

MEP since 1999 I believe so at the very least he knows the other EU members better than most British MP's?

So just to be clear, Farrage has never been a MP and has achieved absolutely nothing of note as a MEP.

How often did he attend the EU parliament and contributed constructively?

So what? A 'proper (hard) Brexit is a niche interest. If Brexit happens at all it's going to be one with close ties to the EU.

Farrage is pissing in the wind, as he well knows. He's made a career of shouting from the sidelines though, so I expect that he's OK with that.

That number won't be able to turn out, there are 9/10 councils thar for varying
reasons won't be holding elections this year.

My useless bunch of s being one of them. Grrr.

I have asked this before but I'll try again, is there a % of UK not holding elections, and
therefore no EU candidate, that would render the elections void, unlawful?

Wowsers!!!!!

Are you really saying that you believe that "most of the 17.4m Leave voters will protest vote for the Brexit Party" in the upcoming Euro elections?

Oh, and those favouring a 'proper' Brexit, notably but not restricted to the ERG, have shown no evidence so far of being able to organise a piss up in a brewery

Doesn't bode well for your glorious revolution
