I didn...you folks don't understand this do you. I didn't vote for Farage because I really like the idea of a Dulwich college educated beer drinking throwback with dodgy mates running the country. I voted for him because he provides a vehicle for my views on the EU and our leaving it. He is not using us, we are using him. If he goes, then we will look for another vehicle. <br /><br />You cannot solve the problem of Brexit by removing Farage. But you can solve the problem of Farage by sorting Brexit.Dippernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-5349883854798990632019-05-29T13:08:31.664+01:002019-05-29T13:08:31.664+01:00Yes, as you say, with UK politics in such a mess, ...Yes, as you say, with UK politics in such a mess, Farage needs no party to perpetuate his demagogic career. In the hiatus between leaving UKIP and forming the Brexit Party, he remained omnipresent in the media and especially on the BBC. It's as if his criticism of the established Westminster parties has made him an honorary 'independent' correspondent. <br />The EU election results show that with this support, plus a few billionaire backers, his need of a party machine is negligible. Anne Widdecombe, the Rees-Mogg and the rest are entirely dispensible.<br />Tragically, Corbyn and co seem to have been ensnared in Westminster village politics and/or fantasies about a mythical industrial working class. He has the activist base, but unless he learns something from Farage's campaigning strategy, that will soon vanish again.<br /> <br /> whisperitnoreply@blogger.com
