Nigel Farage and his Brexit party on 10:38 - Apr 23 with 4949 views | itfcjoe | If anyone votes for UKIP this time round, then they are basically admitting to being a racist or haven't been following them. If it is Brexit that you want pure and simply, then you have to vote for the Brexit party, simple as. UKIP has picked up the baton from the EDL and the BNP and have served their purpose for Farage. They are too far beyond the pale now for him, they have been useful idiots but now are just a lunatic party. | |

Nigel Farage and his Brexit party on 12:22 - Apr 23 with 4757 views | hampstead_blue | I think UKIP died a while back. That is a very good thing as they are now sliding on oiled backsides to the right at breakneck speed. Hopefully a few broken necks when they hit the wall! I think Farage is trying to simplify things (as he did so well with UKIP early doors). He wants Out, nothing else. I say 'I think' as it's the impression I get. | |

Indeed. But, as Nigel is a chief dog-whistler of the right, it's probably just in the playground of politics he sees a difference. And with the Brexit Party it can be all about him again without Tommy Robinson stealing his thunder. | |

Nigel Farage and his Brexit party on 13:13 - Apr 23 with 4640 views | positivity | farage is probably just as dangerous as batten, but he's a lot more media-savvy. didn't the person who set up the party get chucked out for islamophobic tweets? sure there's plenty more there. those polls seem to show a majority of people voting for parties supporting a second referendum (51% to 34%, not sure where to put the conservatives!) | |

Exactly that. He was happy to stand in front of that poster overtly appealing to racists during the referendum. He's distanced himself from them now because he's concluded that it's politically expedient to do so. And he wants it to be the Nigel show of course. | | | | Login to get fewer ads

Playing to the undercurrents of hate rather than the overt hate? That's like saying Trump has done well to steal the KKK's thunder when of course this form of populist approval just legitimises the far-right loons ever further. | |

Is it not just moving more of the mainstream further right? He'll soon be pulling the strings of the Conservative party and shifting them further across in my view. | |

I would need to know what right-wing things Nigel believes in apart from economic theories. EDIT; I am also not sure I agree the mainstream is right wing. It seems very much the most popular non Brexit political policies in the UK are egalitarian ones [Post edited 23 Apr 2019 13:50]

Total free market thinking, wanting the UK to effectively be a tax haven. Tiny state and privatisation of the NHS. EDIT - And I'm really only talking about Conservatism as he sees it, not views on immigrants/immigration etc as I'd wager he is all for that deep down as realistically helps the rich get richer.

Those are mostly economic apart from the tiny state part. But I take your point and will look into it myself a bit more! I jut think its very interesting how he has totally poleaxed Ukip to the point where Sargon of Akaard is a candidate for them. | |

It feels like he's dragging out the more moderates from these parties and cutting off the rest to make them more palatable. But he has to leave the looneys behind, and bring the moderates with him as opposed to pushing the looneys out, as that clearly doesn't work. | |

Farage is a racist and an Islamophobe. Whether he wears a UKIP badge or a Brexit party badge, the person is the same. Anyone taken in by the chameleon act deserves all they get. A vile, opportunistic racist who will continue to attract like minded people to his party. [Post edited 23 Apr 2019 16:09]

There are lots of definitions. Rest assured I mean populism in the style of a demagogue who plays on people's prejudice and ignorance. There's lots wrong with our politicians and political system but Farage uses and abuses that to go even further towards the dark side. He's a guttersniping, scapegoating, fear-mongering, over-simplifying and manipulative little sh!t. | |

When Jeremy Corbyn says we need to leave the EU (or do anything else) because of "the Jews" then maybe you'll have a point. Farage scapegoats and spreads fear about the EU via brown-skinned and Muslim immigrants. In fact, it was the Syrian refugee crisis that gave him his biggest campaign message and photo op. | |
