really ??????- i must say you hid it well

Re: UKIP leader Nigel Farage stands down
 

My mistake, evidently I'm more subtle than most give me credit for.

I have a similar level of disdain for borderline illiterate Express readers too, just to ensure nothing is hidden.

Re: UKIP leader Nigel Farage stands down
 

Can you just clarify what a MEP should do in term of representing his electorate, yes, all of his electorate?

If he thinks that the European Parliament should not exist then he is a hypocrite in getting paid the not inconsiderable amount of money to serve as a member of said parliament.

However, suggesting that Farage has principles and that he is honest is a joke so why not expect to milk the gravy train he so despises.

I am surprised that you are standing up for the odious little man ..

Re: UKIP leader Nigel Farage stands down
 

I'm not standing up for Farage - I'm standing up for the principle that he should continue to do the job he was elected to do (whatever that is). The fact that he doesn't think the thing should exist, or that the UK should be involved, is immaterial. He has thought that for 16 years.

Re: UKIP leader Nigel Farage stands down
 

He was ukip when elected and his record as an mep was available for all constituents to see and he was elected to be an mep so no he shouldn't resign unless people are calling for David Cameron to resign as an mp as well. I can't stand either farage or ukip but votes are what they are and should stand as long as applicable, biggest difference between him and the lib dem will be the day they are out of work as we leave the EU he'll be smiling and she'll probably be weeping.

Re: UKIP leader Nigel Farage stands down
 

So Farage got paid as an MEP and didn't turn up/vote as often as many of the Euro-leeches. What a heinous crime*. :rofl: It says a great deal about the EU that he was able to so successfully rock their gravy boat by doing so little. :D

* a good many of our peers do exactly the same thing in the House of Lords for decades with no intention of biting the hand that feeds them and we all know how rife the abuse of expenses is in Eurolalaland.

Re: UKIP leader Nigel Farage stands down
 

It speaks volumes that someone gets elected to office, doesn't do their job, doesn't represent their constituents in the chamber and is so celebrated, while those who did actually turn up to work are 'Euro-leeches'.

I thought we were just post-facts; looks like we're post-reality now, too.

:clap:

Re: UKIP leader Nigel Farage stands down
 

His constituents have been happy to keep re-electing him for 16 yrs.

Re: UKIP leader Nigel Farage stands down
 

I'm not saying I don't agree with you but the only ones who can ask or expect him to step down are his constituents. No-one else has the right to do that.

If they are happy with what he has done and are willing him to carry on then so be it.

It may be that he is the best of a bad bunch in his constituency.

You may want to look at some of the speaches he's made in the EU Parliament before commenting further, and I'm not on about his most recent.

The only thing I like about Farage is that he has stuck to his guns from day 1 in that he wanted a referendum on if we remain of leave a political union that the electorate did not endorse. He got it, I thank him for it and I expect this Government to abide by it.

AFAK He is the only politician who has fulfilled a pledge to the people in this century...

Unless you can enlighenme to another.

Re: UKIP leader Nigel Farage stands down
 

UKIP leader Nigel Farage has worst voting record of any active MEP in European Parliament

I think if someone is so patently rubbish at doing the job he was elected to do then we have every right to call for his resignation.

The hypocrisy of some on here standing up for Farage after all the years of endless bitching about the "Euro Leeches" is staggering :dunce:

Re: UKIP leader Nigel Farage stands down
 

That cannot be right, we wouldn't have even had a referendum if another politician hadn't fulfilled his pledge to the people...

Re: UKIP leader Nigel Farage stands down
 

Who do you think applied the pressure for this other politician to make the pledge in the first place?

Re: UKIP leader Nigel Farage stands down
 

+1 Exactly

Now tell me who the racist is here.
