Perhaps if Cameron hadn't called the referendum - once that was done they were never going to be any more than a pressure group on the Tories.

Farage is a good talker but nothing else
He had no intention of ever leading a party to any (s)election success, he's already ditching the Brexit Party and moving onto something new, brexit is finished once Bobo puts the deal through, a totally rubbish deal that is basically Mays deal even Farage himself said that. Farage needs to find a new niche, and political reform is their next big target, this lot have had you vote your rights away in a near landslide, so they can achieve anything at this point. As for UKIP it was basically the Brexit Party, there to serve an agenda and that was it. Its now been taken over by loons who will never resonate with the public. |

Follow Follow @GerardBattenUK And that was the whole point of the BP. It was a device to divert votes away from Labour to help the Tories win. Those who thought they were part of something new to ‘change politics for good’ were fooled. If you think politics us about cynical manipulation you will be pleased Batten has been saying this all along and that the aim of the Brexit Party was to destroy UKIP, and this was aided by the MSM in their promotion of the Brexit Party. And post election quotes from Farage arguably back this up. Despite apparently being against Johnson's current "oven ready" deal because it's "BRINO", and having said he doesn't trust Johnson because he voted for May's Deal at the third attempt, he's now saying: All I wanted to do was to stop a second referendum Well the GE result would strongly suggest Leave would win by a even bigger majority in the event of a second referendum (though I appreciate there may not have been a credible Leave option on the ballot paper). It also seems he's quickly going cold on the idea of the "Reform Party", saying in an interview that he has to decide after 25 years whether or not to continue in politics. |
