The case is altered.

The UKIP's raison d'etre was to get a referendum on leaving the EU. I was a UKIP member, and put a lot of effort into the party, which, back then, was decent, although it's now unsupportable by decent folk.

When the ambition was realised, UKIP almost ceased to be.

Now that the referendum has been run, and a decision obtailed, that decision being denied by parliament (especially Labour, who deserve a bigger kicking than anyone else for their developed prevarication), Mr Farage has justifiably re-entered the fray. It is interesting to note the bookies' odds on the upcoming Peterborough by-election.

Were we to leave the "eu", the Brexit party would disappear. Until we do, it will grow.

To a very large extent (although I will support the BP as best as I can), it's a pity that they exist. Again, we should have left the "eu" on March 29th, as planned. However, vested interests, partisan interest and abysmal lack of thought and knowledge prevented our leaving. A great pity and a lost (but hopefully not permanently) opportunity.


Edit:typo.

So Peterborough is a "swing" seat with (previous) support for Cons/Lab split right down the middle. Given the 62% vote to leave I think we all know how this one will turn out!

The only way for an upset would be the left-leaning vote sticking with Labour (and the MEP elections hint of their votes being eaten by Libs and Greens) and the right-leaning vote split between Cons & TBP. Mike Greene's a local which helps (ppl tend to distrust candidates that are parachuted in) so I'd be very surprised if the vote doesn't almost totally parallel the MEP elections.

Ideally whomsoever takes up the PM position is pro-leave. Bolstered by the TBP results they can convince their MPs it's "leave or die." Although unlikely, Boris telling Juncker to "fuck off" to his face would mean a Tory landslide at the next election...

Still, strange times we live in!

Peterborough, like Lincolnshire and the Fens is very pro leave.

I could explain why, but i've done so before (It's all to do with Bliar).

The EU offered the UK a free trade agreement. "No deal" is not a thing and never was, it's just media propaganda by those Blairites who are upset about their life's work being undone.
