Now That Brexit Has Happened, Should Ukip Disband?

[sp1814]

Do we really need this party any more?

From public punch-ups, Hillborough lies, 18 days leaders to a morass of irrelevance - do we actually need them now that we are moving out of the EU?

Let me think about this question for a while......

[mikey4444]

That is long enough !

Yes, course they should disband !

Farage has said, many times, that once UKIP had achieved a Referendum, his job was complete. Well that happened last year, so why are they still here ?

[-Talbot-]

Yes ... Trump has replaced UKIP/Farage now.

[ladybirder]

Didn't Mr F say it was needed to make sure BREXIT actually happened or did I dream it?

[sp1814]

ladybirder

I believe so, but then he minced off to America to be Trump's new bestie.

[Gromit]

Disband?

Who would then keep the Monster Raving Looney candidate company on the losing stage at by-elections?

[cassa333]

What a stupid question because Brexit hasn't happened yet. Only a referendum that supports it.

The Lords are trying their level best to scupper it with amendments that ultimately will allow lefties, liberals and elitists to ignore the referendum result or make such a hash of our exit that we will lament they ever existed.

When we have exited that is the time for UKIP to reassess where they are and what, if anything they do in the future.

Right now we need people like Farage to keep snipping at the backsides of the idiot elite.

Brexit has happened ? When was that ? Last I heard the House of Lords were still trying to scupper it using the remainers plan of vetoing any deal. What, did we get out this afternoon sometime, then ?

[naomi24]

Brexit has happened? I must have missed that.

[ToraToraTora]

well they should keep the government honest until we are actually out but yes, they should disband as the most successful party in history having actually achieved their primary reason for existing. Farage should be at least knighted for having achieved more than any politician in history without ever setting foot in Parliament.

[ToraToraTora]

mikey: "Farage has said, many times, that once UKIP had achieved a Referendum, his job was complete." - err no, the clue is in the name of the party, when we are out of the EU his job is complete.

[Togo]

Noooo we need them lurking there until we are out, and if the Louse of Hoards manage to derail Brexit, we can sweep them into supreme power and get out anyway, whilst closing the day care centre for the privileged down.

[Samjenko]

The working classes need some sort of representation. If not UKIP, possibly a new party to take up the baton.

[mikey4444]

TTT....he said that on many occasions.

But just how will UKIP actually oversee our exit of the EU ?

The Party has one MP, that even his own Party doesn't like.

The current Leader Paul Nuttall is too busy defending himself against his poor showing in the Stoke By-Election and his fantasist tendency to actually do any "leading"

Farage is far too busy with his constant trips over the pond to brown-nose Trump, as well as being a presenter on LBC, to do anything other than squeeze in the occasional Media interview, to do anything pro-active with his Party.

So, just how is it going to pile on the pressure on Mrs May ? UKIP can't win By-Elections and consequently can't get any of its Leaders into the House of Commons.

UKIP's supporters on here keep saying we "need" the Party.....but to do what ?

[Baldric]

///Now That Brexit Has Happened///

Has it, when was that then?

[mikey4444]

I forgot to add....UKIP also appears to have the lost the support of its major fund raiser.

[cassa333]

Given a choice I would rather there were a UKIP than a Labour Party.

I wonder if the OP is going to come back and rephrase his question so it is an accurate representation of the current situation rather than one that is not actually?

[Old_Geezer]

Having few MPs doesn't seem to have hampered them in the past.

[mikey4444]

OG....Given what I posted at 21:12 yesterday, how is UKIP going to keep up the pressure on Mrs May ?

[ichkeria]

They will no doubt keep going. The country has lots of political parties who we don't need, but that is beside the point.
In fact I woludn't be surprised if they split into two UKIPs:
UKIP and NUKIP. That would be great entertainment.
The French writer Giraudoux, when asked about the (then distant) prospect of German reunfication once, replied:
"I love Germany so much I prefer to have two of them" (tho his reasons were slightly different)
