Haha. It actually did, but my second 'party' choice was Green. Can't get more diverse than that.

I think one of the original creators of Greenpeace was politically on the right but also strongly into environmentalism......obviously.

He has hung his colours to the mast apropos the deal and he just wants to "Get Brexit done" so no chance of that scenario coming to pass. Surely it could if Farage wins enough seats. They could vote with Remainers to stop the deal and then we would leave on a default no deal with the Benn act repealed if that was the only option.

Although, he's somewhat of a climate change denier, which is a bit odd.

Lots of Holers saying that they aren't left or right. Mmmm...Me thinks the 'individualists' doth protest too much! Perhaps if they took the political compass test we could all actually discover the political positioning. The last time I took the test, I was a little left of centre. Mine too. I had to move back into my house.

The 'Mood music' in my circles (All leavers) is that an alliance with Farage will assist the Conservatives in our quest for an overall majority. Apropos the deal, of course some will not view it as "Perfect" but compromises had to be made.As Mark Francois said it is not Valhalla but it gets us out of the EU.

Farage has run on pretty much a No Deal Brexit, while stroking a Canada++++ or something to that effect. If you are in the 'Out means out' camp, I can't see how you'd not vote for the Brexit Party. Farage has basically said that May's deal is worse than remaining and I think he's basically said Boris's deal is worse than May's. Therefore, Farage not standing candidates anywhere is at odds with what he wants to achieve and here's the reason why; Boris and Corbyn will no deliver 'true' Brexit. It will be remain light, because I don't believe there are enough ardent No Dealers in either party. I mean, the Brexit Party has been around for almost a year and still have no policies that I'm aware of, which says a lot. Farage may be a BSer, but he's smart. He knows, unless ego gets in the way, that the most power you have isn't a PM, it's as the opposition or the big donor.
