Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

It's a sad day to hear of Nigel Farage's resignation, UKIP won't be the
same without him.

Without Nigel Farage there wouldn't have been a referendum...


WELL DONE NIGEL FARAGE!!!

It is a shame that he has left. While he was leader it was even easier to dislike UKIP.

Rubbish, Haystack.

Nigel was a phenominal anti-EU orator, 'telling it how it is' and got pretty poor support from the two senior UK political parties whilst he was compl]aining about the negatives of the EU.

For instance, here is Nigel Farage explaining the pathetic anti-democratic appointment of Jean-Claude Juncker:

He is a rabble rouser and racist. I dislike him intensely. His immigration poster showed what he is like.

as with fred, it's very easy to rant and rave when you have no one to answer to

Screen shots from 1941 Nazi newsreel which shows the forced march of Bessarabian Jews



Nigel's racist poster

Haystack Thats your opinion(in my opinion worthless). But he gave a voice to the many millions that
felt disenfranchised, where has the party(ies) you hancker after don't give
a shit about anyone that dosn't toe the establishment line..

As to that poster, it had been published several times in the past without so
much as a murmour, it was just bad timing, as Nigel Farage said.

But if anyone took the time to peruse that poster you would see that 100%
of those individuals in the picture was young fit MALES, who had left their
own countries to invade the west, and to say they were 'all' Syrian, which
the media did was wrong, they were from Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, etc, etc..

Yes you can put up any emotive picture you like to justify your utter contempt
for someone who stood up for this country, much more then the treacherous
sycophantic pieces of shit that parade themselves in the tory party, who
litterally shit themselves at the mention of UKIP.

UKIP appeals to the lowest common denominator in society. It is no surprise that their only MP is from an area populated by rednecks.

for better or worse, there is no question that without the threat of ukip, a referendum would not have been on any party's manifesto or even agenda

May more popular even among Leave voters.

Popular across all voters

Remarkably, Theresa May is more popular than Michael Gove among both Remain voters and Leave voters. 64% of Leave voters have a favourable opinion of Theresa May, compared to 51% who view Michael Gove favourably. Among Remain voters there is no contest: Only 5% of people who voted to Remain have a favourable view of Gove, while 49% of Remain voters like Theresa May.

Haystack's found a new love.....on yer bike Dave.

I still prefer Cameron. Theresa May will do and I think will become very good. She hasn't won the leadership yet. The favourite has lost in the last three Conservative leadership contests. David Davies was favourite last time in 2005. There is a lot of double dealing in the parliamentary phase of the election that reduces the number to two.

So that's another spell binding two months of this then , think I'll cut my didgeree do off .

Nominations (110 to get on to the ballot of last 2)-

May – 112
Leadsom – 38
Gove – 26
Crabb – 23
Fox – 9

Leadsom 'I will only have members of the govt in my negotiating team' - tries to squash Farage suggestions of him taking part

Haystack we know -
you hate Farage ,
you hate UKIP,
you hate Corbyn,
you hate Labour ,

you love Dave,
you love Cons ,
you will love new leader ,
you love endless opinion polls .

Yes haystack its evident you are on the same wavelength as 'Call me Dave',
you come across as a slimey snake oil salesman and a spineless guttersnipe.

That would be a description of Farage.

I wanted Ken Clarke instead of Cameron, but he was stitched up in the second ballot because he was too pro Europe.
