pongo Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I suppose Farage must need a job. Fair enough. But the woman who started that party seems proper bonkers. On the plus side it has the potential to split the UKIP vote which seems like a bit of an own goal for the loony right. And it's going to be a giggle to see who they manage to find to stand as candidates. Presumably Captain Mainwaring types and cor-blimey geezers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a dangerously nihilistic fringe support that. Some of them in the London Parliament - but most of them either unemployable or retired. The sensible majority, whether they voted leave or remain, support a pragmatic and business focused outcome which minimises disruption and does the least damage to the economy. Accepting that the very fact of Brexit is damaging the economy. As evidenced by the latest figures re the all important services sector ... one of Britain's most significant sectors. And as evidenced by the pressure many small companies are now under to stockpile resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freggyragh Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Paul Nuttal might be free to join, if he isn’t busy working on a PhD, working for charity or filing out MEP expenses claims. I suppose, after Brexit, you’ll need a party with even stupider ideas. What mental policies do you expect to see a. non-racist, post-Brexit far-right party put forward?

You need two consecutive quarters of negative growth for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
