Will it explain how members/customers can democratically change leaders? Will anyone ever ask him?

Ah all is clear, or not?

NEW @Nigel_Farage says in Workington that the Brexit Party will not publish a manifesto.
He will issue "a contract with the British people - we will not call it a manifesto.
"Let the others call theirs manifestos nobody will believe a word they say." #GE2019

Oh if only he could do everything in private Callistemon the world would be such a better place.

trisher perhaps he's doing facial yoga in an attempt to stave off the wrinkles (see wrinkles thread)

I only do that in private (I think)

Thanks Nonnie - just goes to show I’m listening (and learning)!

I read that Brexit Party candidates - carefully chosen by that well known democrat -Farage, are expected to pay the deposit and pick up the tab for election expenses.

Where’s all the money gone?

One day those fooled into giving Farage money will understand what he has done with it and perhaps bring a case if fraud.

He will be long gone to the USA by then.

M0nica the gurning is probably the result of his long exposure to Earth's gravity! There's only one solution -send him back to Sirius along with the oher candidates.

Wera Hobhouse was born in Germany but is proud to be a British citizen and LibDem MP for Bath. She has done a great job and should be re-elected with an increased majority.

Thanks MOnica

Seeing an interview with Nigel Farage yesterday, I am beginning to think he is becoming a caricature of himself, gurning and writhing.

He is rapidly becoming a live Spitting Image character.

she comes from the star Sirius etc

But surely that-s true - don't we all?

can a non-UK citizen be elected to parliament
Interesting question
I'm thinking of Peter Haig, Wera Hobhouse and wondering what their status was/is.

Didn't the Greens have an Australian leader (but not elected) at one time?

An non Uk citizen can become an MP if they are a citizen of a commonwealth country who does not require leave to enter or remain in the UK, or has indefinite leave to remain in the UK www.parliament.uk/get-involved/elections/standing/

2 Labour candidates have been found to have written online or said things that are egregiously anti-semitic.

Can a non-UK citizen be elected to parliament?

I can’t think that the candidates have been properly vetted.

??? one candidate they won’t be fielding

A former general election candidate for the Brexit Party has stood down after it emerged that she believes she comes from the star Sirius and that aliens are already working with world governments.

Jill Hughes, who was the party's prospective candidate for Batley and Spen, also believes in "elves/fairies/mermaids/unicorns and all things elemental and otherworldly", and that her horse was reincarnated as another horse.

The Australian has only been in the U.K. since 2018, so he won’t be a U.K. citizen for the whole of the next parliament

Didn't someone say they'd given the Brexit party thousands of pounds a while back?

One of them is Australian


although none of the Australians I encountered could understand why anyone would vote to leave

but didn't Farage get a rapturous reception in Sydney from a limited audience?

some of them have the weirdest of backgrounds, for sure.

One of them is Australian, lived in USA and arrived in UK last year???

You buy one, you get one free
Like double glazing

That’s what I thought Callistemon ?Did they come as a job lot?

600 candidates?
Where have they appeared from?

So what's in Johnson's version of Brexit which is better in your opinion than May's version?

No idea. Not bothered now as I shan’t be voting for them anyway. I’m backing Boris and his compromise Brexit.

Have they published a manifesto I wonder?
