Farage the fraudster

Just a reminder that in the 2015 election UKIP was the third party for number of votes but only managed to get one seat. This meant one MP representing 3.8 million voters! By contrast the SNP managed to get 56 seats. So 56 MPs representing less than 26,000 voters. This is why the SNP were so over-represented in Parliament and UKIP were never represented as much as they should have been.

That's FPTP for you.

How about campaigning for PR, then Chestnut?

Incidentally, 3.8 million voters is fewer than 10% of 45 million voters. So that just about tallies with the polls, does it not?

He supported Marine le Pen, of the National Front and his past is questionable as to whether he was ever one of their supporters. Always proud of his initials---NF ??

Correct Chestnut so many disappointed voters. Galling in the least for them to see Ian Blackford and Joanne Cherry speak in the HoC so often!

By the way, anyone heard from paddyann recently?

Chestnut are you seriously suggesting that 56 SNP MP's were voted in by just 26 000 Scots?
Have I misinterpreted your post?
Would you please let me know the source of this astonishing statement?

Does NF support PR?

Have I misinterpreted your post?
Maybe I didn't explain clearly but if you look at the previous graph, there are only 25,972 SNP voters per MP and over 3 million UKIP voters per MP.
Here are more details, showing that UKIP had the third highest number of votes. The SNP was very over-represented.

A fraudster who has totally changed his views since he campaigned, and advised, again and again, and again some more, a Norway/Switzerland type deal - and now totally denies it. But the facts are all there for all to see

So campaign for PR Chestnut! I'm sure the LDs would support you.

Farage is not universally popular. He's popular with some voters. Brexit & Co is polling at about 13%.

Farage couldn't really care less about any of it because he doesn't give a stuff for the majority of people in the country and will be off to the US in the New Year. He needs to find himself a new gravy train.

UKIP and Brexit Party are washed up. Even Farage's own party (non) members are criticising his stance - not returning their deposits for being candidates when he pulled the rug. The so- called pact is just a retreat by Farage - the Tories didn't do any deal.

Fortunately the Conservatives don’t need Farage, as they are the Party to get Brexit through Parliament, although it could still be useful to have Brexit candidates in strong Labour seats this time around for the GE.

Its funny how some who saw Farage as next to the Almighty, threw money at him and lapped up his soundbites, criticising May's deal, now switch to adoration of St Johnson whose deal is identical to May's with a bit of change of wording. Farage and his extremists have criticised it as "terrible" and not "true Brexit", although his definition has shifted so many times over the last 4 years. Definitely a conman.

Ah, that’s life! We can chop and change with the tides. And circumstances.

Annoying ain’t it?

A lawyer has offered to help those folk conned by Farage to try to get their money back.

That might please couple of grans on here, as I believe one in particular gave a very large amount of money to his company.

At £25 a pop I felt, at the time, my donation was an investment to deliver Brexit. Money will have been spent on advertising, transport, booking venues etc.

Not a snowball in hell I imagine for getting money returned. I’m not bothered. Seems Brexit is going to be delivered by Boris anyway.

I’m happy.

According to the latest polls Brexit party support has fallen to 4%.

Ah the polls....they are never wrong are they?

Makes sense MOnica as Leave voters are now heavily relying on Boris to deliver.

I agree, the leave voters will all vote for Boris unless they're in a strong Labour seat, then they might rally round the BP.

That's the rub with democracy, it allows you to change your mind as posters on here have told us umpteen times!!??
(unless you're Nigel??!!)

This isn’t about changing your mind, it’s about being conned.

So true Jabberwork, according to some posters, there are millions of leavers that have changed their mind and are now remainers, and that of course is OK, but heaven help anyone who changes their mind about anything else . As I said on another thread, it's farcical.

Apart from Brexit and wanting the health service to be insurance based, does anyone know what Farages policies on anything else are? By the way, love how his followers refer to him as 'Nigel' as if they're 'besties' [ditto 'Boris'] ...

Urmstong ''Ah, that’s life! We can chop and change with the tides. And circumstances.''

hear, hear - totally agree. So now, give us a Referendum on the current deal - or not. Now tides have changed, and circumstances too. Ta.

No problem jura2

Let’s just implement the 2016 one first though eh? It’s only fair.
