It’s funny yes. It’s cheeky yes. And yet...
I’d be sitting less comfortably in the HoL after that announcement than before.
or alternatively they could be sitting on their shiny red leather benches thinking it will never happen, a bit like the referendum would never have happened without farage perhaps?I’d be sitting less comfortably in the HoL after that announcement than before.

no comments on electoral reform or abolition of the HOL?
both good causes IMO
What does if I ally will change of the Lords is abolished !both good causes IMO
It’s classic Farage gammon and chav rousing class warfare
It’s massively ironic too that an unelectee, on account of being proven unelectable, “politician” is calling for abolition of members of an unelected chamber.

We had a referendum about FPTP and the people spoke it seems farrago and yourself only respect the will of the people when it suits your agenda.
but we didn't know what we were voting for and i have no problem with a referendum every 10 years including rejoining the EU after we actually leave.the bitterness in your posts is almost palpable.

Both complex issues that Farage will reduce to a simplistic tosh that he can spoon-feed to his gullible supporters. He peddles outrage to people who like to feel outraged. People who like to feel outraged aren't really interested in thinking too much because at some level they know the problem isn't the rest of us. Farage's formula works to some extent; it finances Nige as a sole trader quite handsomely. But it never scales up to form a viable political party because when you get enough of his true believers in one room it becomes immediately obvious that you've got a room full of irrational, untrusting, disaffected loons who can't agree a damn thing. Far from reforming anything, Farage is a parasitic little charlatan who has done huge damage to democracy.both good causes IMO
Great summary.

current politicians are (predominantly) parasitic little charlatans who have done huge damage to democracycatweasle said:
if that's you engaging then perhaps you should disengage
You’re getting sanctimonious ?
As you’ll know, because you’ve been around here a good deal longer than your current incarnation, create a deliberately trolling thread then don’t be surprised if people take the piss.
