Showing Original Post only (View all)UK Parties: The Brexit Party and UKIP [View all]
A thread about two parties of the far right that represent everything that is wrong with British politics and society. Both motivated by the same desire to see the UK leave the European Union at any cost.

Dear Brexiteer,
After more than three years of delays and parliamentary games there is a powerful sense of wanting to just get Brexit done. Feelings of Brexit fatigue have led some Leavers to welcome Boris Johnsons deal as the best we are likely to get. That is understandable. But it is a mistake. The Prime Ministers deal is not a proper Brexit. It is far removed from what 17.4m of us voted for in 2016. I can only suppose that pro-Brexit MPs backing the deal have not actually read the Withdrawal Agreement (WA) and the important Political Declaration (PD) that goes with it. These make up a new European Treaty that reheats 95 per cent of Theresa Mays deal.

UKIP was founded in 1993, and since its beginning, has campaigned to take Britain out of the European Union.
It was the efforts of UKIP that forced former Prime Minister David Cameron's hand into holding an In/Out Referendum on 23rd June 2016, and was instrumental in bringing about the largest democratic vote in British history.
UKIP is about more than Brexit though. We have policies on every area of governance, many of which have been "adopted" by the government.

UKIP is in more chaos than any other UK party, which is really saying something

How does the general UK public feel about Brexit? Is it split fairly evenly for staying or leaving?

We have no evidence that Putin meddled in any meaningful way in the Brexit referendum.

Bannon's a bit player and Johnny-Come-Lately, more a legend in his own mind than a real threat.

Seems the UK and the US are equally divided societies, both divisions aided and abeted by Putin.

It's mainly US posters on this United Kingdom Group who keep mentioning Putin.

Here the Putin factor seems to have shifted a very close vote to trump, by just 77k votes.

Forgive me for attributing too much influence to Putin. Trying to learn the reasons for Brexit...

Putin certainly likes to meddle, and certainly dislikes the EU for diluting his power, BUT..
