To think that the Brexit Party is the most exciting thing to happen in British politics in years

[ChavvyOldBrexiteer]

1000 candidates have applied for 73 seats, nearly a million pounds raised with small donations, buzz and brexitement on the ether and the sense that the 2 party system may be over for good....at last some good news for Brexiteers.

Viva la Revolucion!

[Circeplease]

No, there have been swivel-eyed loons on the fringe for years; I don't really care how they label themselves. And I agree, anything that splits their vote is to be welcomed.

Fabulous question


"How lovely it would be to have a Brexit debate that is devoid of ageism, sexism, racism and leavism, that is based on facts (and not ad hominem attacks).

Is it possible?"

So what 'facts' support Brexit as a good idea economically, socially....

[PencilsInSpace]

Yes Nigel Farage and his Brexit Party are very exciting. I hope everyone pays close attention to The Brexit Party and what The Brexit Party stand for.

I suppose daft racists have to vote for somebody, and it's splitting the Tory vote so yes, quite exciting that we might get a Government who doesn't get a thrill out of the plebs living in poverty and starving if the turnip crop fails like the 1770s next GE.

Totally brilliant that the far right vote will be split. Didn't think that one through, did they?

[WellGoshDarnIt]

'Brexitement'????
This is NOT a word, (or a thing).
Please don't try to pretend it is.
FFS.
And as for fucking frog face Farage, he's like having bloody herpes - just when you think he's gone away, up the fucker pops again.

EU elections are not FPTP they are a party list system.

The vote won't be split as such but seats may be shared out between the Brexit Party and UKIP.

Vote for the party you support the most every vote will count - this is a PR system.

The Labour Party is not a remain party.

I thought this was the Brexit party's official website

It’s just UKIP dude, under a different name. Plus the addition of a Rees-Mogg family member. You know, the family that made all of their money from inciting political unrest. You know one of them wrote a book about exactly that right? and that they’ve made millions out of brexit. So the brexit party. What about all the other issues in this country? We don’t need a party in power that only deals with one thing. There are other things going on you know like poverty and schools and health...I bet Nigel Farage will be brilliant at dealing with all of those complicated issues (sarcasm) especially after he lied spectacularly (on the side of buses) about all the money saved by not being in the EU, going straight into the hospitals. Yeah, he’s trustworthy. He doesn’t just lie to get what he wants. He really knows what he’s doing.

[Windowsareforcheaters]

The EU elections need to be fought on EU issues. Austerity is not an EU issue, Brexit is.

[JanartaMeen]

I'm always fascinated that people continue to fall for this conman and his endless quest to milk them and the EU for money. It's quite bewildering to watch. I would feel sorry for them, but they only have themselves to blame. Fools. Embarrassing fools.

Fuck off

[BoneyBackJefferson]

And people wonder why things will never change.

[AssassinatedBeauty]

What about this party excites you? I can't see any difference between it and UKIP. What are the key policy differences?

[Windowsareforcheaters]

Honesty Assassinated can't you tell the difference.?

This party isn't racist. Honestly.

No racists in this party. None at all. Not one.

Not even a tiny little racist. None.

[JacquesHammer]

How can a single issue party who clearly won’t hold any meaningful chance come election time be exciting?

What is depressing is the further attempt at a rise of the right wing

[TalkinPaece]

I do think that this [[https://thebrexitparty.com/]
is one of the best things to happen to UK politics in ages

[Dothehappydance]

I am concerned that he is no longer 'Mr Nice Guy' because if the previous was him being 'nice' then I'm not sure I want to see 'not nice'

My local neighborhood will be pleased. Something about doing what the people want, and we'll show them how we feel.

All mouth and no trousers, I imagine though.

JanartaMeen

Yes he is the epitome of a snake oil salesman, but who else is even listening to what people are saying?

Look on the thread, we are what 40-50 posts in and its already full of racist, sexist, ageist comments, and name calling, fools, embarrassment.

there are millions of disenfranchised voters out there and nobody is even remotely serious about courting their vote.

So this is what you (as in everyone) gets.

Once more we get the politicians and the parties that we deserve not the ones that we want or need.

[Bemusedagain]

Oh and yeah, it’s a BRILLIANT idea to vote for a guy to lead our country who has mis-spent money entrusted to him. Such a good bet. We should definitely let him loose on our economy.

It’s just UKIP dude, under a different name.

Don't be so roood! I heard that Nigel Farage on the radio this morning. He said that UKIP had been unavoidably overrun with far right extremists but that The Brexit Party would be totally different and not racist at all.

[PortiaCastis]

But unfortunately we're leaving the EU ( and fuckin up my dds life) so what is the point of a brexit party

[DilliDingDillyDong]

Yeah. More far right bellends. Great.
