Farage played a game here in my opinion. He knew if he crawled out of the woodwork again with a name like "The Brexit Party" he would get support from Brexiteers frustrated with the Government. I can't stand the man

Eek politics! Such a touchy subject but we are all entitled to our opinion.
I for one want to leave the EU, as soon as possible. I think immigration is putting huge pressure on schools, social housing and the NHS. We should have a system like Australia where by you have to have to have a profession to offer the UK and means to afford your own house. The majority of the UK feel this way and want out. May and Co are snakes that get big fat cheques from the EU to put up and shut up. I welcome Farage, he will hopefully get us out and put the people who are already here first.

But Nigel is a MEP for next 6months.
A big issue here is we had referendum before Europe on the UK voting system but it was badly done something lib dems pushed for, wasemt explained properly to voters and low turn out.
It was a vote on proportional representation instead of first past the post.
Sounds dry and boring.
Can't remember which general election got UKIP lots if votes possibly 1 before last one may called.
But despite UKIP getting a large %vote think they had 1 MP in parliament.
First past post makes it very difficult for small or minority parties to gain seats in UK parliament..
I believe mep European parliament elections used a version of proportional representation which is why a 6 week old brexit party scooped up so many seats and so much of the vote.
They have no manifesto to attempt to make gains in a general election so not sure how much power they yield.
Farrage and UKIP at that time pushed Cameron into calling a referendum on Europe although last time we were asked were 1970s and the European union has change a lot since then so maybe it's as right we had a vote.
Some remainders think we should have 2nd referendum because they unhappy with the result and hope older leave voters who voted leave have died and younger new voters will be more likely vote remain.
That's hardly democratic keep asking same question until we get right answer.
At end if day leave won by 2% in the referendum 52% voted leave.
Oh god Widdi's back after getting thrown around the dance floor she's now throwing her weight around on sky news apparently these results mean the people don't need any other opportunity now to be heard ! Errr yea right O Anne .
I think the mainstream media and Twitter Twats have a lot to blame for the intense divide between leave and remain. Mainly because of the tone - āleaversā being racist, xenophobic right wing gammon and āremainersā being communist/extreme left socialist, politically correct, middle class college puddings. The name calling and slander causes hackles to rise and entrenchment of position.
Every political compass test Iāve taken has planted me firmly left of centre but Iād vote leave in a second referendum (voted remain in 2016). I donāt like how the EU is going, itās fracturing, the populists are on the march and membership could drag us into recession into the next few years anyway. Immigration needs to be tempered with investment OUTSIDE of cosmopolitan city bubbles as itās literally destroying and making poverty traps in towns and villages that still havenāt recovered after the 80s denationalisation of manufacturing industries. An upcoming example being British Steel - collapsing will be catastrophic for Scunthorpe and THOUSANDS of families for generations in the area but under EU rules the government canāt bail it out. Whereās the investment in the area to keep it from relying on one source of employment? Who will help those families, who have added pressure in finding employment from an immigrant workforce who will work on minimum wage zero contract hours and keep heat in the cost of living and housing (donāt forget social housing has been decimated over the years). Itās like Sheffield and the miners all over again.
There is so much to fix in this country, itās time to get Brexit out of the way and crack on with rebuilding the ruins

If there's a General Election before the leave date, I can't really see Farage wanting to be Prime Minister and everything that entails tbh, it just seems like he wants to get out of Europe no matter what and doesn't care about the consequences (or party policies beyond Brexit by the sound of it). He'll be laughing all the way to the bank along with the likes of Reece-Mogg, etc, whilst the rest of us plebs get screwed. I think he did have a point when he said certain countries shouldn't have joined the Euro currency ( I'm glad we didn't either) but not much else. I'll never forget that disgusting poster he unveiled; it happened to be not long before poor Jo Cox was murdered. It may have been a coincidence but I'd hate to think it emboldened some nutjob to go ahead with it. It was very irresponsible of him to say he'd pick up his rifle if Brexit doesn't go ahead, he must know some people would hang on to his every word.
I fell into the trap of thinking the EU was bombarding us with all these rules and regulations but it's only for our good at the end of the day imo. They don't implement any rules without our go-ahead and we're the ones who came out with a lot of the Health & Safety stuff apparently.
It never made sense to me why Brits living or working in other EU countries weren't eligible to vote in the 2016 referendum, considering this would've had a direct impact on their lives. I reckon it would've swung the vote and we wouldn't be in this mess. It saddens me to hear so many medical and care home professionals understandably no longer feel welcome and have left the UK. Let's hope that Ā£350M on the side of that bus wasn't all lies.

They were eligible to vote, with the exception if you had been away from the UK for more than 15 years.
