Single midned people thinking that a sect is only for one thing is the reason they didnt get more seats. I love nige with all my heart. But hell no to him being a pm. Hes just a pre-couser to a better life for brittan. Not the final product |

They won't disband, they will disintegrate because they won't be able to blame all our problems on the EU anymore |

"Anyone else think he could be our next Churchill....Do you mean the dog in the insurance commercials? Probably not the dog has more to him than Nige."
Today there is a significant body of evidence to the contrary! |

You really need to be explain why an objective look at Nige's career would deem him a success? On today or all days?? |

How exactly will that happen tho? Greens and purple together? Just because we voted out dont mean its all gonna change over night. We have work to do. And tories can fook off as the stank cameron left behing will linger in the public eyes. Now more that ever we need a more inteligent farage as the public have clearly voted. |

"Surely UKIP should now disband, their job is done
Exactly, he'll be a Tory soon"
Well he's calling for a Brexit (hate that term, I'm just quoting) government. So that could well be a possibility that he could defect and become a Tory.
Will have to win a bi-election or possibly a seat in a general election.
As a former trader might be well positioned for Chancellor!! |

Having met the man in person with no TV cameras around or sound recording equipment I have to say that I found him very straight fwd and exactly what you see on the TV, it is not an act that he puts on, he is the exact same person off camera in person. Weather I agree or dissagree with his political views I must say that I found him an exactly what it says on the tin kind of bloke and it was a pleasure to be in his company |

So his success is to cause mayhem and confusion for most of Europe. He leads a party that is full of dubious intent and he has no real policies that stand up to rigorous testing. Maybe he is a success in you eyes. |

I know what you are saying but he's been a protest movement and no longer has anything to protest against! I'm not talking about an overnight thing, but he did well - he won - bravo but he needs a completely different set of skills going forward so can he adapt? |

I didn't vote UKIP or leave. But it's democracy with all its warts. Your problem with him is that his success has come through an agenda you don't like, that's not objective. |

I have no issue with the democratic process its just life. I was responding to the OP in so far I think that Nige and his cohorts are divisive and devoid of any long term planning strategy. Not Churchillian in my view. There is also something of the night about him.

Caveat Emptor.
I don't know why us tax payers have to fund a national education system if it produces people too thick to question the claims of politicans.
We've made our collective decision and there was bullshit on both sides like every political debate since the dawn of time. |

Dave was told to put the question before the country by the Old Etonians that make up the 1922 committee and it was part of the last Tory manifesto. It was probably the chairman of that committee who told Dave he had to go. |

Last night may have been a victory for Farage but it's absolutely vital that it isn't seen as Farage's victory.
Fortunately, there are many who voted leave who think he's dreadful too |

"Farage appeals to a certain section of the electorate. Thankfully that section is relatively small....
Yes, a tiny minority of 17,400,000."
Didn't realise they all voted to leave purely because of him. Wow, that is impressive!! |

Sorry but it is his victory, like him or loathe him he has spent many years campaigning for something he believes passionately for,without him there would not have been this vote,his party has some lunatics in it but he has defied all the hate and crap thrown at him, while I wouldnt agree with everything he says I have enormous respect for his bloody minded determination to win for his cause, this day is down to him getting the UK the chance to change our history and the majority agreed with him, agree with the result or not we should all be proud of the UK today,democracy has won, I wonder if the rest of europe's citizens are going to get the chance we had |

Well Churchill did say:
"The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter."
Suspect that, deep down, the odious charlatan Farage actually feels similarily. |

If Dave did what you said then that makes him a 'bitch' by implication whether you want to explicitly use the term yourself or not. Look up the definition of 'bitch' in the dictionary of gangsta rap if you are still confused. |

No not confused in the slightest. The Tory party has a number of factions the strongest of which is the 1922 committee whose make up resembles a whos who of relics from the past who still believe we should never have given up the empire. They are like the god fathers of the right. All major policy decisions are run by them. It was in the last Tory Party that a referendum on EU membership would take place in the life of the parliament. So if that makes Dave a bitch (Gangam Style) then he is.
Still does not make me think Nige is a success and if a victory is being claimed then I would argue its of a pyrrhic nature.
On that note I am going et bibere cervisiam , et ridebit in nobis sanus !
Enjoy you evening!

No - I don't think he's a Churchill in any form. Churchill brought the country together at a time of war! - for the moment at least - Farage has successfully campaigned for a referendum that has caused a split between the young and the old, Scotland and Ireland from England and Wales - and London from the rest of England. Scotland are already calling for another referendum to enable them to leave the UK and join Europe! In my opinion he's therefore the opposite of Churchill!
Going forward - I think whoever becomes PM (please God not Boris!) will, rightly or wrongly, distance themselves from Farage and his party as fast as they can. |

It seems the bitter losers need reminding that far from causing a split he's actually pulled together over half of the UK population and been a pivotal point of giving them exactly what they wanted . |

Dividing the country" is a laughable concept, look at the electoral map of the last 2 general elections. Nobody has united the country with a good old landslide victory since Tony |

I think it's the natural home for older voters - and perhaps those in deprived areas in the north. I've been watching the results and the political fallout all day!
The analysis of voting habits, as well as highlighting the gap between the young and the old - also highlighted that areas with a high percentage of well educated (ie degree level) residents also voted to remain in the EU - hence its divided the classes as well as the generations and England & Wales v Scotland & Ireland.
Of course I could be wrong - all anyone can do now is guess what will happen - but I really do believe that those who come in to power will try to extricate themselves from him - as his party is still viewed by many as a racist extremist party - whether they agreed with him on leaving Europe or not! |

Agreed! I don't like either of them particularly - but I believe that Farage fought for what he genuinely believes in, whereas Boris fought to further his political career! |

Well talk of divisions seems a bit stupid unless anybody advocates individual countries of the UK or whatever having their own votes then it has to be a winner takes all.
So it the case that more people believe we should be out than in end of story. |

Yeah but you have to challenge the cause and effect.
The economic benefits of the EU were not well distributed. Young, well educated people move to the areas what have the benefits (i.e south east) but we can't all live in London. Successive governments have neglected the north, Labour wanted to put them all on benefits to shut them up and Conservatives just offered a lot of rhetoric about a 'northern powerhouse' with no substance behind it.
I believe they voted out because the benefits of the EU weren't reaching the North as they should be so the obviously didn't vote to retain something they can't see. |

Yeah and if the remain camp had actually spent more time putting their case to the people of britain instead of spending most of their precious air time attacking Boris Johnson they might actually have won x |

Nope. He is an eejit buffoon. He is not the reason people voted to leave.
I am pretty sure that many potential Brexiters decided not to vote because of him. |

As in sending the Army to deal with striking workers, caring little for the most needy in society; yes I think in those ways he could

Does anyone remember Cameron invoking the spirit of churchill during the tv debate a few days ago? How we should remain and fight for britain in europe and not give up? Well now is a good a time as any to invoke that spirit and fight for britain and what does he go and do? Resign like a coward, what a joker x |

I think from chatting to people in the run up they made a huge miscalculation focusing so much on the message on the side of the bus.
A lot of people got bored of it and because neither has no real figures to deal with only fanciful projections it was never really probable either way.
While they wasted all that time they should instead have stopped spouting figures and concentrated on issues that average people did care about.. Immigration.. Laws and rights etc.
I mean does anyone really believe that the money gets sent to Brussels in a physical sense "every week" as Faisal Islam on sky news kept banging on to Michael gove about during the head to head interview.
Yes.. It gets taken through the channel tunnel every Monday morning in pound coins in a fleet of wheelbarrows..
Is that really an issue that deserves so much time at the expense of all others

"I'm not a fan , nor would I vote for him , but he sticks to his guns and fought tooth and nail for what he believed in x for that he at least has my respect x
Agreed! I don't like either of them particularly - but I believe that Farage fought for what he genuinely believes in, whereas Boris fought to further his political career!
If he becomes prime minister I'm emigrating "

I'm not one for mincing my words but Farage is simply;
Deluded
Racist
Liar
Out of touch
Donald Trumps shadow
Baffoon
Has no policies and fucking clue
Yet people like him  |

For better or worse he has become one of the most important political figures for decades. Inadvertently(or not) he has changed the course of this country's future history. We wouldn't have have had the referendum otherwise. |

personal opinion is i like him he seems pretty straighforward & Knowledgeable, watch youtube of when members of the EU have been trying to grill him he always 1 step ahead,
i think he will be (kind of) one of the best prime Minister's that never was.
i would like for him attend the meetings with the EU for the next few years as i think He would Get the Best deal For US rather than Us being walked over by the Eu
Would i Vote for UKIP in General Elections..., That all depends on the candidate and there policy's |

She even phrased the question wrong and misquoted the actually bus campaign which said we 'could' spend it on the NHS...so two bit hack looking for a scoop..

UKIP was a fringe party with very little support but his leadership pushed them into the mainstream, won the Euro election, and scared the pants off Cameron so much that he was forced to promise the referendum.
For that I would push him for a knighthood. Many others less worthy are now called Sir. |

Maybe because it was cheaper with lower through life support costs and India rarely (if ever) pays a price premium for defence equipment and hence why it's got shit loads of Israeli and Russian stuff too.
Not sure that one was much of a conspiracy! |

It's a tough market to crack but Canada, Australia and South Africa are more realistic. Honestly, if we could pull something out the bag with China that would be the jewel in the Crown. |

The average voter is indeed a cretin. The skill of politics is communicating with cretins though. Everyone knows the rules when the campaigns started and one side did better than the other. |

You can spin it either way, the 28% don't care enough to defend the EU or they don't want to leave. I expect most of them were too d*unk, high or engrossed in day time TV to give a shit about anyone else |

That's a very strange logic. He's a protest movement (i.e an outsider) you can't judge the success of a protest movement by the number of elections. If he'd won a lot he'd be the establishment and not the protest movement!! |

"Promised £350m for NHS if we left EU. Backtracks post vote denying he said it.
Caveat Emptor.
I don't know why us tax payers have to fund a national education system if it produces people too thick to question the claims of politicans.
We've made our collective decision and there was bullshit on both sides like every political debate since the dawn of time. "
this may be true.... but if everyone knew it was a lie from the beginning and you have been telling anyone that would listen for the last 3 months.... least let the pretense of your "truth" last more than 10 hrs after people have voted...
least have the decency to think more of people than
thats a bit like having a front page splash on a story....... but having a 2 line retraction on page 7 when you finally admit you got it wrong........ which the mail, the express and the sun all had to do this week when they all linked an immigrant story to the eu referendum....
the thing is people DID question it time after time after time... and they lied to out faces every single time....
they lied.... they got busted and they still tried to double down on the lie.... they got busted again... and people on here still excuse the fact they lied by saying "well other people lied!!!!"
i never want to head one more complaint about a married man lying about their status, or a person lie about their age.. or sexuality... or about a picture looking different, or a picture being them at all!!! because what we all did is condone a big fat fucking lie because it helped our chance!!!
I said i wasn't going to get angry.. and its not you personally.... but call me frustrated as hell....
we are all now it this together so we have to try to make it work.... but to see people gloating over duping people isn't going to help the healing process...
a little less ha ha ha... and a lot more humility would have been the way to go today... but i didn't see much in order.... |

everybody lies to promote what's good for them, Exxon lies and shreds their own documented scientific evidence that your lifestyle of driving and flying is gonna fucking kill us all, of course this lie was busted for thirty years and you obviously stopped flying and driving didn't you!!!!

"Immigration won't now be reduced according to the leave campaign. It will be controlled "
i just think it was ironic that everyone was crowing about the UK having the worlds 5th largest economy,... and after the vote today and the consequence..... we are now the 6th largest.... being overtaken by france..... who are in the EU......
all people can keep doing is keep making them live up to every promise they made during this for the next 3 years.... and if by any chance they don't live up to every claim they made...vote them out...
and that would be every tory AND labour mp who stood by those claims.... its not a party political issue... its a trusting politician issue for me now! |

Perhaps Fab should have an option to include political allegiances then we would have a better idea of who to avoid. Top of my avoid list would be any one who considered Farage to be anything other than a self promoting,lying opportunistic low life, followed by jingoistic, xenophobic UKIP supporters.
There - I have nailed my colours to the mast so feel free to avoid me if you don't like my politics. |
