"I wonder if the fanatical EU supporters on here will ever admit that they were beaten by UKIP? Whether they carry on or fold it matters not now Ukip have achieved what they set out to do. ![]() Ukip have plenty of other donors besides Aaron Banks. Leader Paul Nuttal said in a speech in Dorset a couple of weeks ago that an agreement has been made by a consortium of Ukip donors to fund the party for the foreseeable future. Former leader Nigel Farage has not abandoned the party, he said on the BBC he would stand again in South Thanet on a Ukip ticket if a by election is called there after the police investigations into Tory election fraud at the general election. | |||

I think you should apply for the job. You can be in charge of all the full stops. They can give you a huuuuige pile of them and you can put them after every sentence the negotiators put together before it gets sent to Brussels. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | |||

"I wonder if the fanatical EU supporters on here will ever admit that they were beaten by UKIP? Whether they carry on or fold it matters not now Ukip have achieved what they set out to do. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() So tell me then. If Britain just point blank refuses to pay, what can they do? I would say very little as long as the British team has the balls to retaliate in kind to every threat they make. Blockade British exports? Fine then tell them to start building car parks in Rotterdam or new wine cellars in Epernay. Disrupt British flights? (as they have already threatened) Yep great. Go on flight radar and take a quick look how many trans Atlantic flights from all over Europe use British air space. I'll bet a few Spanish hoteliers may have a problem with that as well. Most of the remainers on here seem to think that Brussels holds all the aces and they can punish Britain in any way that they like. Guess what? As much as they would like to, they can't and they won't. To be honest the arrogance of the EU since the Brexit vote has even surprised me. It really confirms to me that Britain is leaving a nasty vindictive club that really doesn't deserve to have it (or anyone else) as a member. What will they threaten next? Operation Sealion mark two? ![]() | |||

"I don't support UKIP and dont care how they organise themselves. However, they have mustered a fair percentage of votes in recent elections. It seems odd that some people in this forum who claim to be pro-democracy leap around in celebration at things like this." I respect and will fight for the right for you to vote for whomever you want to. I don't have to like who that is, like you, or like what that party or candidate stands for.

"U K I P has a chief it's Aim ! But it's supporters , my self included will Hopefully move on to the next Step ![]() The dedicated UKIPers wont. They like any ideologue from the labour, troy, lib dem, SNP or Green party will view them as perfect and fail to acknowledge and denounce their failings. And this is why politics and democracy can become a mess. Because people get wrapped up in cults of charisma and ideologies. Rather than excising Dutch pragmatism. | |||

"I'm mildly puzzled by the ammount of media attention that UKIP get - they have only ever had one MP, and as such, are pretty insignificant. They somehow seem to think that leaving the EU was their idea, it wasn't, although they pushed the agenda through the media. The referendum would not have even been tabled without Conservative anti-EU politicians, as those are the only ones who have ever held any actual power. They are, as such something of a joke. T-wearing wannabes vainly attempting to somehow be"respectab;e" (in a country gent kind of way) and yet also "men of the people". " Better get back to doing your research properly Jim, Ukip have had 2 MP's in Westminster, Douglas Carswell, and the other was Mark Reckless who won a by election for Ukip in Rochester and Strood. | |||

There has been a problem building for many years with a large proportion of the electorate not catered for by the old 3 main parties. That is even more the case now. Ukip gave collapsed, lib dems a shambles, labour a shambles, leaving the tories as the only functional party. Not being a party supporter, or a ukip party supporter, I can still see the situation is dire. Some posters on here will be happy to gloat that a party they don't like is gone, and see it as some kind of victory. I would prefer to see a range of viable parties that represent different views of different parts of the population. | |||

That would be interesting to have more parties that relate to us. But how will you ensure you have a fair representative government? We may want to be anti EU, pro NHS, pro business type of government. No party represents the country. I'd go for a proportional representative but with more parties. | |||
