Politics has been so dull of late I think the Monster Raving Loony Party as it may liven things up a bit.

Idiots.
The excuse is that they begrudgingly vote for them to push the government to deliver Brexit and don’t agree with any of their other views. Unfortunately I see TBP sticking around after October due to the support they now receive. Maybe they’ll scare the Conservatives into using some more of their unhinged policies such as NHS privatisation and influencing future trade deals.

They are also promoting no deal as the best option over anything else so it can be assumed the PHers support leave no matter the consequences.

Personally where I live is either Lib Dem or Tory and I’ll likely be voting LD depending on what their local plans are. The Tory is ERG and doesn’t even live in the constituency

I honestly have no idea. I suppose I’d vote tactically to attempt to keep the Communist Party out of government as they seem like the worst possible choice for someone who earns too much to be classed by the left wings official term for the 20% earners as ‘hard working’ but not enough to actually be well off.

With a crippling mortgage and childcare costs coming out of my ears I suspect they’d be the worst choice for me.

They are a good protest/indicator vote at the MEP level.

The Lib Dems are nothing but a protest vote too. They're fking shallow and weak, here they only figure because of their policy of remain.

I am sorry for my outburst I didn't see the change option as it was hidden down the list.
I just feel that the major contribution she and other principled women like Caroline Lucas have made to British politics is often overlooked.
Thank you
She didn't want to play with your good lady Diane though did she!

It is quite baffling.

I can only guess at the sort of traumatic early life that results in somebody seeing and hearing Farage and thinking,

"he seems like a decent, trustworthy bloke who has my, and my country-folk's, interests at heart"

No interest in voting.

It's not going to happen.

The UK will never leave the EU, our parliament and the EU will not allow it.

The common thing I’ve heard people say about him “he tells it how it is”. Similar with Boris and Piers Morgan. Also know as “he’s telling me what I want to hear”

This is no way IO would vote for the tories. Proven liars. Whatever they say they are going to do, there is a strong chance they won't. Voting for that is madness.
If the Tories promised a second referendum where they would actively campaign for Remain (like they did before!), would a remainer vote for them? Don't forget, they won't actually do what they say they will.
Whats the expression, "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me".
If they don't deliver a no deal Brexit by Oct 31st, they are in big trouble, Farage is now saying he won't do a deal with them at the inevitable GE, because they like the look of May's WA sans backstop and even that is not acceptable to him. It seems to me, it's Farage's way or the Magic Grandpa way.
Funny thing is the Tories are slowly adopting all Farage's policies (latest one is scrap HS2, but Nigel said it first!). If you love the Tories but hate Farage and would vote for the Tories today, aren't you just voting for The Brexit party 3 months ago?

How dont you get it? are so many people still so delusional where they think they can still overturn brexit, make it all go away like it never happened.

It's happened and its not going to go away, people now have a choice accept brexit or accept quite profound changes to our democracy. People should be asking themselves is the EU really worth it, is it worth the increasing divide in our society?

Isn't the issue with the backstop that it messes with a delicate balance where a group of people don't like being told what to do by, and governed by what they consider another country? They can get quite violent I understand.
So 17.4 million people who feel something similar, denied their Democratic right. Things could get quite nasty. That's a quite a lot of people, it only takes a few to feel sufficiently passionate about the subject, to magnify things quite considerably. As per above, is it worth it, just to be able to avoid a bit of paperwork on a lorry load of cheese?

If people see themsleves in him or like what he says, there must be a lot of bitter, unhappy, grumpy, disappointed and possibly unpleasant people out there.

I doubt very much that leaving the EU is going to make them feel any better.
