350 Million For The Nhs....

[Bazile]

Oh hang on , that figure was a 'mistake'

Yours Sincer...
Mr Farage

[mikey4444]

One of the welcome results of yesterday vote is the imminent demise of UKIP and Mr Farage !

[Zacs-Master]

How will that work Mikey?

[sandyRoe]

Is he a man of independent means? I ask because he's talked himself out of a job.

[mikey4444]

Farage has said on many occasions that his only purpose was to get a Referendum. We have now had that and the people have voted to leave, so what possible use is there for a Party called The United Kingdom Independence Party ?

There is only one UKIP MP, and it isn't Farage, so its doesn't really matter either way I suppose.

But the Party itself has now made itself redundant !

[Zacs-Master]

Mmm.

[mikey4444]

Sandy...he made huge sums of money out of his job as an MEP. And he will have the resultant pension from that job. I have no doubt that he can find himself a few jobs on various company Boards, so its unlikely that he will signing on the dole any time soon.

They could replace the Labour party as the opposition to the Cons

Perhaps the next General Election will reflect the real views of the UK, and the political "leaders" who have spent months talking down and denigrating the British people will be given the deserved elbow.

[mikey4444]

But why would anybody now need to vote for a party that only has one policy, and that is to leave the EU, which the people have now voted for ?

Where would the Whig party sit on the present-day political spectrum? Just for comparison purposes.

[Svejk]

Could? Will. The Labour party deserted their supporters. They will pay for that.

[Hypognosis]

The Labour party has an existential crisis on its hands. They were founded on the principle of protecting the labour force from the might of industrialists. They are powerless when faced with protecting workers from an over-supply of additional workers, under the simple law of supply and demand determining pay rates. (ie any influx of workers (race/nationality immaterial) with which the indigenous workers must compete makes workplace conditions tougher and hands power to the employer).

UKIP could take the populist route and claim to serve workers rights but, being generally to the right of vanilla Tories, this should be anathema to them.

Equally, a Labourite who ditched them to support UKIP has to be the kind of person who allows a single issue to overcome all their instinctive hatred of a group who are mostly ex-Tories.

All rather puzzling.

[Svejk]

UKIP have always been the party of the working man.

It was never a mistake, it was the subscription we were to pay to the EU barring any temporary discounts. And to the best of my knowledge it was never promised to be spent on the NHS. Not paying the subscription means there will as be money available for Westminster to allocate where it wishes. Or at least will be when everything has settled down.

If you want all savings to all go to the NHS (a mistake in my opinion as there are many existing grants we would probably be wise to keep going) then at the next election vote for an MP who promises to push and vote for that.

[Old_Geezer]

Once a goal has been completed it doesn't mean that other goals are not worth staying around for. One wants to try to ensure those in power don't mess things up. We'll have to wait and see what happens.

[Togo]

Will Corbyn resign as well??

[fiction-factory]

I wonder how many of us will still be around by the time we stop paying our £350 million? I hope I'm wrong but sorting this out this could drag on for years.

[fiction-factory]

I'm not sure Corby will resign. Most could see his heart wasn't in it.

perhaps the leader of the whigs may act for the good of the country
and not his own self advancement andnothing else

[Peter Pedant]

corby being like a dead cat ( xc bouncing )

I thought that was his persona - so that he wouldnt look like a leftie Bo JO or and more right wing wild eyed Tony Benn
