I mean if I'm going to be totally honest, I'd have to say that retiring from full-time politics at 65 is probably sensible. That's not to say that older people can't be politically active and have strong political opinions but modern politics easily CAN become stuck in a rut when we have the same high profile politicians active for 30+ years and yes, Mr Corbyn is a prime example of that. A huge chunk of his politics should have been left back in the 70's / 80's where it belongs.

I don't think it's ageism. In fact, there are plenty of examples of older politically active people whose politics has moved with the times. Corbyn isn't one of them for the mostpart; and the fact that Ms Widdecombe has only now resurfaced to hammer on about Brexit doesn't give me much hope that she has anything new or fresh to add to the debate, either.

You're barely 5 minutes older than me Livia, no need to be patronising :nono:

I don't think anyone would argue Ann doesn't believe what she says. She's consistent there.

Btw, I read something not long ago that apparently Corbyn is thinking of retiring. I wonder how far the party is infiltrated with his people and how fast it could recover...?

Reactionary ideas require reactionary politicians.

IS that the new strapline for the EU?

:think:

The EU is reactionary but isolationism is modern and forward looking? You should put yourself on the the list of comedians better than Mr. Lee.

But they are getting backing from the Public
that want to leave the EU
well above Conservatives and Nasty UKIP

By supporting that party, people who are getting their knickers in a twist over it all will only ensure that they won't get what they want since this party will dillute the right wing vote more than it already was.

But its the EU Elections on May 23rd
only, so far

Not the 2nd of May half UK local Elections

Many Conservatives are not doing the EU Elections

The brexit party is a protest party, because it has no meaning after brexit .... simple

What are you talking about? After Brexit, we're going to Brexit again! Brexit is too good to only do it once. Double Brexit, Triple Brexit... the sky's the limit to be honest.

"The Brexit Party" is such a stupid name though :joker:.
