Are people really going to vote for Farage and the Brexit party? 02:10 - May 16 with 27868 viewsunstableblue

He is loathsome and completely unaccountable; he is the worst of British. And aligned with all the hate that’s building in the US under Trump.

Farages attacks on the BBC are just sickening - his approach is just to shout down any diligence of his views and history. That’s the Trump method. Are people really going to validate him at the polls? WTF is going on in this country.

Dark times.

This video almost seems like a parody, but for me it sums up the uninformed under current that has got us to this place!

l shall be voting Farage. They give plenty of time to the Tories and Labour , thats going well isnt it ?..........eeeerrrrrrrr, oh !


They give airtime to Labour and the Tories because they are the two biggest parties in the UK parliament by a distance. Farage has tried to get elected to said parliament seven times and has failed seven times. He does not warrant the amount of airtime he's given.

Farage gets proportionally more time in the arena of British and European politics considering how little he actually achieves or how little insight he has towards a workable solution.

That's gone shockingly badly for this country.

He gets more time and influence than the Lib Dems. For all their faults, they at least offer an alternative as well as grown-up policies.

Why not ? What gives you the right to say how much air time he warrants ? Do you run the BBC ?

The lib dems are a wasted vote. Farage is an alternative too, so dont see your argument there.

Although the last time Farage was leader of a party, that party did gain nearly 5% more of the vote share than the Lib Dems, so hardly a surprise that he gets exposure

that's right if they don't give air time to farage this will all go away …

go on, step out of your bubble and try listening to people who don't hold the same views as you. farage only has any relevance because a huge number of people want to use him to express how seriously pissed off they are. farage is a pretty odious git but this really isn't about him.

The coverage they get is proportional to their historical success up to a point. Once a threshold has been met (say 3% vote share for instance) then that party should get equal coverage to the other parties which have achieved that vote share.

Farage and the Brexit Party haven't reached these thresholds so he does get a disproportionate amount of airtime.

However there is also an argument that can be made that he has huge popular support from opinion polling putting him above those thresholds and thus he should have similar airtime to the major parties.

Well I've clearly just shown that's not how it works.

It's also not how it should work. You are saying that I could create a party which says that if you have the MMR you turn into a purple lizard and that I should get equal airtime.

That's clearly nonsense.

People were saying the same about UKIP and look at where they are now. If you'd vote at a GE for a party with no policies then good on you, that's not really my bag though.


So you really believe they will contest every seat in a general election with no policies in place? I must of missed the fact there is one coming up soon. You can be sure they will have a full manifesto and unlike other parties would actually stick to what they put forward if the chance however unlikely it seems at this moment arises.

The more people like your fine self shout them down the stronger they will become, thought you might of realised that by now chap.

I'd be interested to see how you think democracy is connected to airtime. I'm not sure your argument as it stands makes sense.

I'd also argue that someone spreading provable lies shouldn't be given the same airtime as someone who isn't.

If they listened back that would help tremendously. This nonsense is getting pretty worn now. Blame the liars on the far right for promising people unicorns, don't blame the people that see through their lies.
