Haven't we heard that before how long before he returns to save a sinking ship?

I have to laugh at his claim that he's never been a careerist, meanwhile he's resigning as his party's leader but keeping his seat in an institution that he's apparently so despised for seventeen years which'll earn him £70k a year, despite the fact his job is now done

Being friendly with Darth Murdoch is just another reason to find him deplorable.

Cameron has to stand down after failing. Farage steps aside gracefully after winning

He achieved what he set out for and now wants his life back. He is a refreshing change from the career politicians we're used to. In so many ways he is a refreshing change.

Mock can you enlighten us with what you mean by working class, perhaps with some examples?

I didn't say that some of them are not convincing opinions but they're still not facts. I suppose some people have a loose definition of what constitutes a "fact"... I happen to be quite picky about what I'm willing to conceed is fact.

That said, I wouldn't say that my opinion if the EU has changed, per se... I was never so much "Pro EU" as "Pro remain" which is slightly different. If we were NOT current members and we're voting on whether or not we should JOIN, I would always have said a definite "no". My Pro remain stance, as an allegory, works well like this:

You're on a mad scientists table, he asks you "Do you want me to embed this experimental microchip in your brain??". You'd have to be insane to say "sure why not." that's the vote "to join".

THIS vote, however, the scenario is... You wake up, you already HAVE the chip embedded in your brain, thousands of wires have sprouted from it and are woven throughout your skull. The question NOW is... Do you dig your fingers into the hole in your skull and rip it out (LEAVE), or do you leave it ALONE (REMAIN) because of the irreversible damage that pulling it out now will do?

Anyway, that always has been and still is my opinion. What has softened my stance is some fairly convincing arguments that the EU is now doomed to unravel anyway, and may well have been before this also. These are still not facts. It may well thrive without us still. I have been swayed to the OPINION that it will probably not.

With regard to the waking up with the chip already embedded in my brain with all the wires sprouting. It would be coming right out, even if I had to dig it out with a spoon! No one is forcing me into an experiment I don't want to be part of. Specially one that hurts developing countries with its protectionism.

Farage would be an excellent choice for your PM. It is too bad that in the UK you vote for the party and then the party votes for its leader. Wouldn't it be nice if you could directly vote for the leader?

Closed for cleaning, when i reopen I would ask you all to stop getting personal with eachother, "leavers/remainers" in general and just stick to the topic.
