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.

I'm not sure it is a tough call for leavers. 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.

Let's not forget though that this election isn't only about Brexit.

A Corbyn government would be economically disastrous as would be a hung parliament with a lib-lab pact.

We would have a repeat of when the socialists took over in France and we would see a significant proportion of wealth buggering off.

If Farage's party stood and were to take three or four points off of a Tory vote who knows what might happen.

Surveys have tended to find in recent weeks that Brexit is the top issue for Party activists.And they are being presented by Boris Johnson with an election that he hopes will “Get Brexit done”.

That being so,it is perhaps not surprising that a majority of activists believe,albeit narrowly,that it therefore makes sense to work with another party that wants to leave the EU.

Sure, that's one form that but the top ten percent of wealth in the country who don't currently run off....probably will.

The same places a few of them do already. There are plenty of places from Monaco to Switzerland....and even if that were not the case as soon as a Warren or Bernie US government existed a country would emerge to welcome them.

Where there is a demand there is a supply.....especially when it's gold tinted.

Perhaps but surely the Libs have already learnt that lesson.

Mind you at least then we would have an impressive pair of tIts to look at to add to our current resident one.
