An interesting political development – Farage steps up to the plate.

Nigel Farage - Has he made a bit of an error with this latest stunt?

 

The current big two Parliamentary parties have failed dismally to hold the Conservative government to account on anything. They’ve failed to ensure that the vote that Britons had in 2016 to leave the EU would be properly honoured and both Labour and Tory MP’s have failed to ensure that the government’s management of the covid situation is led by common sense and not foolishness.

I’ve already decided that I will no longer vote Tory either at the next locals or at the next General Election and as for voting Labour, that’s out as well. I’d rather be arse-raped by one of Tolkien’s Balrog’s than vote Labour. As for the Lib Dems, well they’ve made some nice noises about liberty and freedom in the House of Commons but they are still about as trustworthy as a Pikey selling tarmac, in other words, not at all.

In the upcoming local elections to take place in May 2021, I was intending to give my vote to either the Reclaim Party or to the Heritage Party. However, Reclaim’s registration as a political party is being held up at the Electoral Commission and may, like Heritage, not be in a position to fight a big campaign so shortly after being founded. I hope I’m proven wrong and that these two parties can get it together before then.

But, should neither Heritage or Reclaim get their act together before May, most likely because of factors beyond their control, there may be another political vehicle that Britons could use to express dissatisfaction with both the current government and their disastrous and lunatic covid policies that are killing people and killing the economy. That vehicle could well be Nigel Farage’s revamped Brexit Party which may well be re badged as the Reform Party.

According to press reports like this one, Mr Farage is restarting his party with a specific aim at dealing with the lockdown madness that we have had imposed on us by Boris and his pound shop Stalins. Mr Farage is telling it like it is and not, as the government are doing and hiding behind scary but more than likely false figures of ‘projected death tolls’ from covid. Mr Farage is going to speak of all the thousands upon thousands of Britons who have had their lives ruined and in some cases their lives ended, not by covid, but by these ill-advised, pointless and destructive lockdowns. Mr Farage is bang on 100% correct when he says that the way to deal with the covid situation is to shield the vulnerable, if they want to be shielded that is, but let the rest of us return to normal and try to rebuild an economy that the Johnson government has unnecessarily shattered.

There are of course some criticisms that can be aimed at Mr Farage’s party, it is a vehicle for Mr Farage and his views and not a ground up democratic political party, but Mr Farage is probably more in tune with the public mood than are the current incumbents in the House of Commons an those in power in many local authorities. I don’t agree with everything that Mr Farage or his parties come out with or propose, such as an elected House of Lords and I would prefer to vote for either Heritage or Reclaim, but I can’t deny that Mr Farage has pulling power at the ballot box. We saw how when he was in charge of UKIP he was able to force the Government’s hand and get them to commit to a Referendum on EU membership. When he formed the Brexit Party he managed to sweep the board in the last EU Parliament election that Britons voted in. He did I believe make an error in standing down candidates in order to help Boris Johnson’s Tories in November of last year in order to secure Brexit. The result of his actions in standing down candidates has merely been to empower a Tory party that has not only woefully mismanaged the covid issue and the economy but may yet betray Britons to the EU.

If Reclaim and Heritage cannot get their act together by the local elections then I will most likely be voting for a Reform Party candidate. This is because with Mr Farage’s undoubted ability to pull votes from those disaffected by the political system, it could do well and be a voice against the current madness we are getting from the Johnson government. If on the other hand my preferred party Reclaim hit the ground running then my vote will probably go there. We’ll just have to see what happens come May 2021.

    imo Fox & Kurten should merge into Reform UK – I would vote for all, but Farage holds the key

    London: Baily (con) should stand down and endorse Kurten

    btw

    Toby Young started a petition last night on Change.org asking MPs to take a 20% pay cut for the duration of the lockdown, just as furloughed employees are having to do. His hope is it will attract so many signatures, MPs will feel under moral pressure to do it and that, in turn, will make them reluctant to wave through the second lockdown in the House of Commons on Wednesday – or, if they do, make them more inclined to hold Boris to the December 2nd deadline.

      Thanks for that tip. Will get on with looking into that. Austria+Synagogue+Jews confined to homes can only mean one thing
