Well yes, however, 'the Brexit Party' surely won't see themselves as a long term party? So anything bar getting their own way won't matter to them like it would other parties surely? They wouldn't have to worry about pissing off future voters...as..after Brexit there would BE no future voters if thats all the party is about? (Personally, I think the 'party' is about Farage not losing HIS seat, and his 80k wage, and not much else
)
I do think its quite unlikely they will do anywhere near as well in a GE mind. But the chance is there. Do MPs HAVE to vote for the Brexit plan? Or theoretically, could Farage just get there, say **** it, no deal brexit, do it, then leave.
Most of those who voted leave that I know (obviously not that many really) do NOT want no deal. They want to leave, but with trade deals and stuff. It really doesn't seem too popular an option, and, I don't think we can really say that 32% want it just because they voted for Farage. Theres a fair few reasons to vote for him, and it WAS voting for him, not voting for the party..in honesty really.
