Ewwwww arista I can't handle that many dirty names in one thread title :nono:

Should be interesting

Yes its a waste of time
UKIP are on their own
and not taking orders

Batten is a nutjob

BBCnewsHD interviewed Batten
on a roof near Parliament AM today.

He said he is setting up a Pro Brexit Means Exit March
for May 9th , 2019.

He's quite an intelligent guy as it happens. Watch his interview with Sargon, and you'll see that he knows his stuff.

People who actually belive that there's more than 2 genders, now they could rightfully be described as nut jobs, but you dare not call them it.

Nutjob doesn't mean stupid Alf. There have been countless intelligent, even hyper-intelligent, total nutjobs throughout history.

educate ha :)

How many times has Farage been leader of UKIP now?

3 or 5 times
He is no longer going to be a Leader of a Party
though

too stressful for him i think

Tommy Robinson only cares about himself and furthering his own agenda through misinformation. UKIP has struggled a lot with members that are outright racists and bigots and inviting him to join would only damage them further.

Farage is right to oppose his inclusion but in truth, UKIP needs to die. It achieved it's raison d'être by securing a leave win in the referendum and it's bleeding of seats in the last election shows that they are no longer needed. Better that than to keep flogging a dead horse with increasingly worse party leaders.

ukip=the worst of british
bury that stinking corpse in an unmarked grave and salt the earth :D

Me when Clinton runs for President again

That's become common in politics. There is usually a "dynasty" of folk who continue to rotate in and out of positions at the top of list and aren't friendly to newcomers. I remembering wishing both our parties would at least begin to pass on the baton already before half of them kick the bucket, but that's "not in the party's interest".

Hope you said the same about Bush

Bush, Kennedy, Clinton, etc... yeah, they are considered the dynasties here politically.

And it was supposed to be Bush vs Clinton last time, but Trump got in the way and upset the status quo, and that's why he's treat as an imposter. The USA wasn't supposed to elect a president, they was supposed to elect a monarch.

Clinton paid the way for the DNC (in her words) because they'd been struggling financially. I guess if the dynasties help keep the money flowing, then there's no reason to rock that boat. However, Americans can't really complain as much about the choice in candidates on the ticket (aside from when Bernie was screwed) though as we vote democratically who will be at the top of the party ticket. So in this case I was mainly referring to internal politics.

Fastforward to mid-terms and Pelosi is having an issue getting the votes to take back the speakership because the new, more progressive Democrats are willing to buck tradition and go against their party's establishment. Who knows if that will hold though and if tradition will continue.

But yeah, Jeb... he wouldn't have been many people's first choice. Too stoic for one, but when he does speak, it comes off as overly contrived. :skull: Voters are finally getting tired of political dynasties I think.

So back to Nigel, is he considered establishment or a disruptor? Guessing by this quote, he's the not the latter:
