Is Nigel Farage A Threat To The Tory Party? 🤔

[The_DADDY]

Nigel Farage is a very real threat to the Tory party's survival

Remainers shouldn’t get their hopes up: the public don’t want to rejoin the EU, but many are furious about illegal immigration

Well, I agree and don’t agree.

 

Farage will finish the Tories. He’ll split the vote and Starmer will take advantage 

 

But, most people now want to reverse Brexit. There are loads of polls to check out if you want to,

 

However, Farage… he’s a bit of a dick, isn’t he?

Although strangely enough empowered by the "biased" BBC.  How many times did he appear on question time despite being leader of a party with no MP's?

Personally failed seven times to win any seat in the general election.  Headed up the Brexit Party and still failed to win any seats for any of its candidates.  Now heading up the rebranded version "reform party" and still failing to make any sort of headway for any of its candidates in local government, let alone being a genuine threat in a general election.

 

The man is a serial loser. It absolutely astounds me that the media keep giving him so much prominence when politically he is nothing.  The one and only gimmick he had was the very same thing that he kept campaigning against (despite the fact it gave him a nice healthy salary for many years) and we have now left in any event.  

 

Except for being a low rent tabloid TV fodder and poster boy for the flag shaggers, I really don't understand the purpose of him.

For the same reason they invite like Julia Hartley Brewer or Diane Abbott or David lammy or Nick Griffin or Angela Rayner or Caroline Lucas.

 

It's a debate program. They want people who are going to fuel and rough up and stir debate.  They want people full of their own bluster so they have something to work with.

 

Why do you think ANY topical discussion shows usually has two polarised positions from the biggest most obnoxious mouthpieces they can find.  It's to give a debate some conflict and viewers keep interested. 

 

The vast majority of us fickle, ill informed general public don't want to see a load of dry, highly detailed, well researched, fact driven, polite conversation.  We want oversimplification, hype, arguement and strong opinions that we can all sit there feeling either totally outraged about or gleefully agreeing with like some loyal tribe.

 

We are simple creatures.

So what do you think about the theory floating around that the only reason he lost all those times is because the establishment is corrupt and afraid of him so 'they' made sure he lost ??
