Farage might be considered “unelectable” in a general election - but UKIP “won” the EU election - which people seem to forget.Farage’s strongest suit perhaps is his incorruptibility. He’s quite happy to be the “Turkey voting for Christmas”.
Should the “OUT” campaign win, then he would lose his MEP job, and would end up out of work entirely.
Should the “OUT” campaign win, then there would be no need to ever vote for UKIP again - would there?UKIPS 4m voters are up for grabs though… Either Cameron or Corbyn might yet surprise us all, and suddenly adopt the “OUT” stance… They’d take UKIP’s 4m voters - providing they made sure the Brexit was fully implemented before the next general election. How hard can THAT be?
Whoever oversees the brexit therefore - automatically wins the next election. Cameron might even realize what a huge mandate that would give him as 11th hour leader of the “OUT” campaign, and refuse to move over for Osbourne, choosing to get rid of him in an assassin’s cabinet re-shuffle instead, where Boris gets Osbourne’s job, and Theresa May stays exactly where she is, on a right-ring law & order traditional Tory ticket.
Should Corbyn jump into the driving seat for the “OUT” campaign, then the IN campaign might actually win, as the whole referendum would turn into a “keep the loony left out of office” - because there’s no way that Corbyn would let Farage anywhere near it.
May 7th Last year showed us that Farage is bleeding away former New Labour supporters rather than the anticipated “Middle England” Tory voters. Nothing has happened as yet to suggest that Middle England are suddenly going to swing towards a nationalist bent.
i’m not politically as wise as you boys but if i’m correct ,and i might not be ,i think i remember kilroy silk starting ukip with a few others and they stated[a long time ago] if they won an election they would get britain out of europe then hold another election imeadiately as there job was done
