The Winter 2019 General Election Thread

McDonnell seems a pretty evil fella.

Wonder if we'll get Brexit Party 2.0 standing? Seems a few of their supporters are not happy with Farage's decision.

I'd take a three line whip from Ms Phillips all day long.

Why don't they just vote Nige out?

Oh......

Nige is playing a blinder.

Disagree.

Assuming Boris doesn't win an overall majority (which seems most likely), Farage's decision to not contest Tory held seats will make sod all difference to chances of second referendum.

I suspect that A50 will simply be revoked by a Labour/SNP/LibDem coalition government, so we won't have a second referendum anyway. I also suspect that this government won't last a year as the SNP will have to leave it after winning IndyRef 2

Regardless of the election result, the political turmoil we have seen over the last 4 odd years is set to continue into the forseeable future, imo

If your political beliefs are Nigel Farage should be knighted or have a seat in the House of Lords......If you genuinely believed what he was saying, up until a few days ago, you’ve reason to be angry/wonder what he’s up to.

I’d be utterly amazed if the Tories win and it isn’t 'Sir Nigel' or 'Lord Farage' before the following election.

Anyone who thinks I’m being unfair- what’s the innocent explanation for such a quick and dramatic reversal of his opinion on Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal?

[Roy Twing]

It's pretty obvious to anyone, I'd have thought.

I’m not sure the brexit mps he has stood down think he is playing a blinder

In fact a lot of his own party members are calling him a traitor and a fraud and demanding their money back

He's cocked up big time but will assist getting Brexit through

And how do you think he's gonna do that if, as seem likely, we will either have another hung parliament or a remain coalition government?

The brexit party ppc for my area is fully behind Farage's decision.
It really is blindingly obvious - do we want to prevent a remain coalition (and therefore no chance of even a smidgeon of brexit) or not.
Farage has done the right thing for brexiters, - it is now up to the tories to prove they really want brexit, and reciprocate.

Do you think the outcome would be any different if farage hadn't taken this action steve?

What better way to hold Boris Johnson’s feet to the fire than standing down candidates for nothing in return.

A couple of weeks ago Nigel Farage had a list of demands. The Tories publicly told him to sod off and he did what they wanted anyway.

No wonder Brexit Party members are scratching their heads.
