Sane? There you have it, same old.
Shrinking economy? Prove it, you have no idea, pure guesswork along with 500k job losses, will you ever learn? But carry on.

TR involvement with UKIP has made it too toxic for a lot of voters. Some would hold their nose and vote UKIP to give the establishment a bloody one but many wouldn't now.

Farage was right to start a Brexit Party but can he scale up in time and can it be done with sufficient vetting of potential candidates?

Amusing as that is, I would imagine he could get it closed down - I believe parking like that is a no no. As would be assuming a logo as they have.

Many, many companies relocating as a result of Brexit. It's not theoretical or guesswork - there is plenty of coverage of it. Many financial institutions, Discovery channel, etc etc.

The proof of the shrinking economy will, unfortunately, come in time. I would be delighted to be proved wrong!

I suppose it depends how important brexit is, and how they perceive it to have been delivered, to those voters.

I expect there will be plenty of people who voted leave that still don’t actually want a brexit party or UKIP in charge of the country.

It all makes it less likely one party (apart from labour) can win a majority in the next GE though.

We might even end up with some kind of labour-brexit party coalition. Image how that might work out.

I don't think this is a great idea for the 'Leave' campaign as it is likely to split votes between the Brexit party and UKIP. Thus it is likely to dilute the effect.

….but I have been wrong on many things before..... smile
won't make any difference in eu elections, they are pr based. there will definitely be less ukip mep's but given their direction post ref i think that might be a good idea. i would imagine they would still align with similar groupings in the eu parliament.

unlike those currently in parliament that going by today's utterings have only just realised the implications of holding eu elections in the uk years after we voted to leave.

Both the UKIP Brexit Party will only ever be voted for based on the 1 issue, exit from the EU.

UKIP has moved into the realms of the BNP since it's vote dissapated after the referendum was won. People will not vote for it now in any great numbers.

Both the Tories and Labour have demonstrated they can not be trusted to deliver any meaningful form of Brexit.

However the Brexit Party will now give those anti-EU voters the box on the ballet box they needed.
It's quite nice to see the intelligent people employing the same tactics as before the referendum.
Fixed that for you.

I do wish they would stop getting the EU and European mixed up, they are not the same thing.

Indeed, it is exactly what will happen; it will split the Gammony Frothers and help to maintain business as usual for the Conservatives and Labour.

Farage is the 'Pied Piper' for many in the UK but they will be torn between allegiance to UKIP and his new Ego Massage Project.
Queue the sneery down nose comments from the usual suspects. Oh, bang on time......have a biscuit!!

So in the context of the Tory party basically betraying their voters with the current remain path, Labour looking to tie us into a permanent CU, and self confessed remain from LDs and Change.

Enlighten me who leave voting people disenchanted by the shenanigans of the HOCs and our elected MPs are supposed to vote for. There is a total vacuum of viable choice, especially with the trajectory of UKIP towards right wing. As a remainer, fill your boots - any of the incumbents are remain!

For all the liberals sneering and hand wringing, the Brexit party is close to a lot of people’s views.

ye, just your ordinary run of the mill working class characters you will find in any town up and down the country "When Dave – which as far as I know is his real name, he’s just been employed for the job – is done and has gone, we retreat from the frontline to a nearby Costa, for coffee and pastries, to warm up and for Richard, Adam and Chris to explain themselves. Long-time friends, they work at management level for NGOs and charities."

must admit that this was my understanding too. That being said it'll take time to get them off that turf by which time it may have served its purpose

On the basis that not all leavers are "gammony frothers" - which they clearly are not, not all "remaniacs" are wet liberal handwringers - which likewsie, many are not.....

I suspect that the majority are somewhere in the middle, either side of the political divide, and just fked off with the extremes of either side taking the stage, making the most noise and wking themselves to unconsciousness in a puddle of rhetoric and hyperbole.

On that basis, there's nobody to vote for.
