    These two statements are mutually incompatible.
    Well spotted. If he stands on behalf of another party (albeit one yet to be created) he'll still win enough % to get in. So the idea that he might still be an MEP, and him being a UKIP MEP are not necessarily compatible. And at no point did I say they were so.
    His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

      I’m not so sure about that. A new party on his own? Not much time to get a full party PR bandwagon behind him, but I don’t doubt that he’d get a bit of a push from some friendly “businessmen” to pay for it.

      Even if he does get a new party going, there’s a fair chance he would split the UKIP vote anyway.

      And if it’s a one-man party (and even with other candidates in the party, let’s be honest, the others would all be anonymous nobodies) we can’t forget the 7-attempts-7-failures that he’s had to become an MP.

      Whatever happens, it will be interesting to watch :-)

          Split the UKIP vote? What UKIP vote? UKIP ceased to be relevant when some idiot decided they should become the Peoples Front of Judea (alright, the Popular Front).

            Indeed the UKIP vote became the Ucu*t vote, unfortunately they didn't decide to challenge the bollox they decided to encourage the hate.

                Seems like we have a majority for a No deal.

                      The Postillon: Easier than Brexit: all countries except Great Britain are leaving the EU to form a new alliance
                      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
