Bit of luck she'll get what she righteously deserves at the election, same as nige and anyone else who doesn't represent their constituents

That would be a disaster for Reform.

@TheDaddy

My criticism is that you are damning Farage for abstract matters; matters not of substance. His task is to convince voters that (all in good time) he has sensible policies to put the economy to rights and then explain how he can deliver them.

The main parties cannot deliver sensible policies as we've seen. All this @Russ type stuff, born out of blind hatred for anything right of the political spectrum is more emotion and less substance. After all @Russ regards me, a card carrying (disappointed Conservative) as something akin to ****.

One thin Farage wants is a low tax model for the economy that drives economic growth through investment. And this net-zero scam just has to be stopped. Farage is for that.

You might want to be careful of what BS you accuse me of in public.

Well, as you seem to be so sure of yourself, why don’t you just tell us?

Don’t worry, Hugh, it’s just a rhetorical question. I know you don’t have the answer.

I guess somewhere between 0-73

Actually, I do - it’s a number less than 1…

Pretty sure the ”Business Surgery" he held on January 24th doesn’t count, as he wasn’t dealing with queries/constituents’ problems…

Remember when he lied about receiving advice from the Speaker’s Office about not holding Surgeries?

How can he be trusted when everything he promised failed to come about? People have short memories if they fall for his act again.

There is nothing significant in Farage saying he'll leave the UK if Brexit fails. Anyway, it hasn't failed yet - there's lot's more to do and achieve.

When, how much more time is it going to take, a third of the people that voted for it are dead, what's it going to take, for them all to go extinct?

Quote:

You asked
Please could you provide the following information: the number of people who voted to leave the European Union in the 2016 referendum who are now deceased.

We said
Thank you for your enquiry.

Since the referendum was conducted by secret ballot, the identities of those who voted either way are unknown. Consequently, we have no way of determining how many people who voted for Brexit are now deceased.
Again lack of substance because you are assuming that sufficient numbers of Leave voters were old enough to die.

Do please try and provide substance rather than let your anti-Brexit sentiment affect the validity of your posts.

Farage's task, if he wins the GE, will be to make Brexit a success. This will involve a pragmatic approach to the EU without bending over (as in fisheries). It will also involve a practical approach to the USA - where Trump will likely no longer be president (he's on a failure path right now anyway). I hope that Farage does not get into deeper bed with Trump - just play it sensibly.

How many more PMs will it take for you to realise that's simply impossible?

Don't try and lecture me about substance when the man you're defending has none and no I wasn't assuming anything, iirc the third figure actually came from The Economist earlier in the month from an article titled Zombie Politics about how the two main parties in this country are catering mainly for dead people.

That article ( https://archive.ph/2025.04.11-090954...itish-politics ) is highly skewed in favour of Remain.

Think you'll find the current state of the UK is 'highly skewed in the favour of remain'.
You were all warned, so can't blame politicians...
