The middle ground is where the electorate are. Whoever realises it will win the next election. Farage is nowhere near that middle ground. He has no long term plan for Britain, like most Brexiteers, who never has been any plan of 'what next'. His main preoccupation is himself,, again like Boris et al...[COLOR="Silver"]

It will be interesting to see what it means for Brexit if these votes are translated into seats in the EU Parliament. The EU have said that they don't want anybody causing disruption to proceedings, I suppose that if they decide to be disruptive, all the EU can do is suspend them from sitting.
In itself, a large number of seats for Farage makes no difference to Brexit as it's our UK Parliament that will decide what happens, but if Farage is successful, I think that he will want to get as many people as he can to stand in the next General Election and then we will see what happens when you let the cat amongst the pigeons!

I shouldn't worry Richard, if they follow Nigel's lead they won't turn up any meetings or do any work. They will however claim the salary/expenses and pensions which we'll be paying for.
