Herman 9,804 Posted November 1, 2019 40 minutes ago, Jools said: It's not just about Brexit, Ricardo -- We are all heartily sick of the Lib/Lab/Con's revolving door politics and constitutional reform is a priority for ordinary people. The Brexit Party offers that reform or it's more of the same. I'm an ex-Tory voter and I'll be staying that way. Boris has until Nov 14th to discuss an alliance before nominations close. Parliamentary sovereignty and judicial independence have held up really well against the populist onslaught of the last few years so it would be interesting to know what reform "ordinary people" want that "politicians" like Farage can offer.

Jools 584 Posted November 1, 2019 1 hour ago, ricardo said: You are wasting your vote then. Ricardo 🤔👇 Guido has been speaking to Brexiteer Tory MPs about this morning’s offer from Farage that he will stand down his election efforts if Boris scraps his deal. The reactions have been varied, one MP described the offer as “desperate” whilst another said: “I think Boris and Nigel should meet this weekend and sort this out. It’s a disaster otherwise!” When Guido asked if this MP was happy with Boris’ deal they simply replied: “I want a clean break Brexit on WTO.” Even Tory MPs are using Nigel’s lines… Several MPs were supportive of a behind-the-scenes pact where both parties put up paper candidates against each other in seats where the other has more chance of winning; with one high profile Brexiteer telling us Corbyn’s remain candidate will undoubtedly win if the Brexit Party put up a candidate against them. Nigel Evans described Boris as a “Heineken politician… he refreshes the parts other politicians cannot reach” but warned that Farage should work on Labour seats and “let the Conservatives focus on our top 70 or so targets”. No deal between the Tories and Brexit Party could lead to the opposite of a no deal Brexit… Tags: Brexit Party, Conservatives, Election 2019 People: Nigel Farage November 1, 2019 at 3:46 pm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricardo 7,395 Posted November 1, 2019 I'm with the guy who said "desperate" An alliance is going nowhere, Farage puts off as many as he enthuses. You have already seen the Remainers on here cheering him on, they are right, he adds nothing to getting Brexit done. This Brexit is the only one on offer and the only one likely to get passed. You can forget WTO, its a non runner. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How I Wrote Elastic Man 1,189 Posted November 1, 2019 On 31/10/2019 at 18:46, Jools said: The plan is for the Brexit Party to focus on just 20 or 30 seats to allow a Brexiteer majority in Parliament, Ricardo: Today’s Financial Times splash focuses on rumours that the Brexit Party is preparing not to stand in hundreds of constituencies. The party is polling in low double-digits, meaning they are unlikely to win a single seat, yet it is enough to split the vote and let Remainers pip the Tories to the post, as we saw in the Brecon by-election. The Brexit Party risks preventing exactly what they were founded to deliver if they run a national slate… Yesterday, senior party figure John Longworth MEP urged his party to focus on just “20 or 30” seats to allow a Brexiteer majority in Parliament. Guido has compiled a helpful list for Nigel of where he might want to focus: Kingston upon Hull East – 72% Leave Doncaster North – 71% Leave Barnsley East – 71% Leave Bolsover – 70% Leave Wentworth and Dearne – 70% Leave Hartlepool – 69% Leave Normanton, Pontefract and Castleford – 69% Leave Don Valley – 68% Leave Rotherham – 68% Leave Barnsley Central – 68% Leave West Bromwich East – 68% Leave Wolverhampton South East – 68% Leave Hemsworth – 68% Leave Kingston upon Hull West and Hessle – 68% Leave Redcar – 67% Leave Doncaster Central – 66% Leave Burnley – 66% Leave Stockton North – 66% Leave Sheffield South East – 66% Leave Middlesbrough – 66% Leave UKIP historically failed to win Westminster seats because it spread resources thinly. Unlike in European elections the relentless electoral logic of first-past-the-post constituencies means a 5-Star Movement type breakthrough will not happen in Britain. A laser-like focus on favourable seats with the limited resources and manpower available is the strategy most likely to reap rewards. A broad, thinly spread national campaign will simply result in a lot of lost deposits. Guido’s worried the Brexit Party will kill the best and perhaps last chance to leave the EU. Tories sympathetic to Nigel have seen the polling research that shows that a Tory-Brexit Party pact will lose more Tory votes to the LibDems than it will gain from Brexit Party loyalists. The first rule of politics is to learn to count… For a bloke who voted remain, he puts in a good shift for leave.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
