If You Could Vote Again (Brexit)

Winseer:
Farage doesn’t have to be the actual “Leader”, taking over from Batten - he could go in as a “Running Mate” - squaring up for the Chancellor’s job, whilst Batten becomes Deputy Prime Minster.

Farage has enough Metals Exchange experience to be Chancellor of the Exchequer I reckon - and in any case, we NEED a Hard Brexiteer Chancellor - because they are the only ones who can really grab the Civil Servant’s ■■■■■ strings, the Bank of England, and any other places that “Brussels Money” comes from - and PULL THE PLUG on it all!

The EU will argue that this constitutes “Theft” or “Default” or maybe even “Treason” of course.

I hasten to remind them that they have already effectively frozen some £9bn of UK assets banked fairly and squarely (so we thought) at the ECB. Our Bank of England also has a rather large “long” position in the Eurocurrency, which if dumped onto the open market - would crash over half the banks in mainland Europe.

What better person to organize such a coup (if necessary…) than Nigel Farage as Chancellor?

…He might not even bother to replace Remainer Mark Carney at the helm of the Bank of England… The BoE used to be run by the Government - and could in theory go back to being run by the government… (just sack the damned Remainer who should have stood down the moment his buddies Cameron and Osbourne quit!)

Any attempt by Euro financial players to “crash the pound” - would then actually play straight into the incoming Chancellor/Govenor’s hands: It would form a nice toppy price to dump all those temporarily much higher Euros at! This not only underpins the Pound, but re-patriates a serious wedge at the same time for the UK WAY in addition of the “Brexit Dividend” money. I suspect that the Euro position being held by the Bank of England - exceeeds a trillion Euros!.

The EU would then have to capitulate, and shut down as an institution - or go bust along with their banks and currency. That would put the UK back into the same position it was in during the Summer of 1945 - BUT this time around, we’ve got a recently stuffed coffer to deal with a “new plan for Europe” that doesn’t include Germany in it this time around. Germany can keep their power stations, and they can get a trickle of income back by selling us energy at ever-deceasing prices, now that the attempt to “Corner Russian Energy” has blown up in their faces as well, by this point.

Firstly having put the suggestion of a joint leadership made up of Farage and Batten,in large part to make it more difficult for the media to apply character assassination against two leaders,the word seems to be that Farage can’t/won’t work with Batten as an equal.While Farage really cooked his own goose reghardless.By walking away when the country and UKIP needed him most and then Batten stepping up and more than saving the day.While as we’ve seen Batten is more than capable of making a better anti establishment case.While also being immune from the type of typical establishment media retaliation along the lines of being a so called ‘far right extremist’,which Farage seems too easily subjected to and obviously unable/unwilling to brush off and defend himself against.On that note UKIP is arguably in a stronger position now under Batten than it’s ever been with Farage now being an irrelevant side show by his own actions.

Although having said that I’d guess no one would complain ‘if’ Farage decided to return so long as he expressed his agreement that Batten is as good as UKIP’s leadership will ever get and is prepared to work enthusiastically with/under him.

While it’s clear that there’s not much point in deciding Farage’s position in any new administration until we can first get UKIP into the type of position held by the LibDems in the case of the previous Con/LibDem coalition,or that of the DUP over May now and for that we’ll need to take Labour voters from Corbyn added to whatever of the ■■■■■■ off anti May Con vote we can get.In which case Batten is also as good as it gets for doing that in uniting and bringing both sides of that vote together.Also bearing in mind that it’s also Batten,not Farage,who had the foresight to predict a Con implosion around the Autumn and a snap election being on the cards and putting UKIP on the alert for that.Now with the hopeless team of May loyalist Raab and May/Hammond having now obviously taken control of the Brexit agenda showing that implosion is on track.Bearing in mind that Raab is also hamstrung by a 60/40 remain constituency mandate unlike Davis and remainer May obviously knows it.With Raab already having made the statement to me,in reply to the question why was the referendum deliberately set up by the Cons as a non binding document,that it’s ultimately a question for a general election to decide not a referendum. :open_mouth: Which I then relayed to our local UKIP constituency office.:wink:

Realistically the future of the country depends on whether people choose to vote for Batten or for more of the same May/Corbyn/Cable/Sturgeon remain alliance.But what is certain is that the referendum and with it May controlled Brexit was always a dead duck from June 2016 having deliberately been made so by the remainers as an insurance policy in the unlikely event of a Leave win.With Cameron having already obviously made the required plans to keep the agenda in the hands of the remainers within the Con administration as part of that.

To which Farage’s answer at the time was let’s trust May as he walked away saying his job was done in addition to taking an increasing establishment line. :unamused: With many UKIP members/voters justifiably now not being too keen on trusting Farage to return and deliver as part of that and with Batten’s,no compromise leadership,so far having more than compensated for.

So yes there still might be a place for Farage.Just so long as he recognises his catastrophic and naive failings in the immediate aftermath of the referendum,in walking away with job nowhere near done and going soft on numerous issues and rightly delegates to Batten in the realisation of that.
