Let alone have any intention of providing any of the change people are calling for & have consistently voted for.

@DerrickBerthel1 Worth keeping in mind that, aside from the rigged euro-elections, he's never won an election.

@DGWilkinson Rigged?

@DerrickBerthel1 Like all despots, the elite imagine they can ride the anger, quell it - and perhaps they can. But if they're wrong, things could get rocky very quickly, and in ways that are impossible to predict.

@EC2man Indeed

@DerrickBerthel1 Doesn't matter when FPTP means that many votes doesn't lead to Parliamentary success...

@PaulSmyth2015 In a FPTP political system the hurdle rate is higher but once the newcomer consistently polls higher than the incumbent it very rapidly becomes the incumbent where votes are wasted.

@DerrickBerthel1 Suppose this has legs. And magic Grandpa gets a new lefty party up and running and X% of labour vote for it? The election would start to look like a very interesting 4 way battle.

@MattPachent There is a new electoral majority in the country. No political party has yet risen to lead it. But someone will.

@DerrickBerthel1 Impossible to pretend that the far right state capture is not happening in the UK. Once it happens the consequences under the FPTP system will have disastrous consequences...or they will just go back on their word like their european buddies

@DerrickBerthel1 @nigel_farage will hold live @GBNEWs Thursday sessions at #Wellingborough and then declare his position a day or 2 before #Wellingboroughby

@DerrickBerthel1 Fortunately the fascists would need more than 33% to form a government. In the real world under FPTP they would be lucky to poll 7% in a GE.

@DerrickBerthel1 "a real revolutionary like Farage" you misspelt lying racist snake oil peddling charlatan

@DerrickBerthel1 Gets my vote 👍

@DerrickBerthel1 @BathBollard Based on what made up poll?

@DerrickBerthel1 Just to mention that Public First - the group behind these figures - isn't a pollster, but a PR firm advising & promoting various right-wing causes & organisations. Its staff have worked for the TaxPayers’ Alliance, Vote Leave etc; it has strong links to the fracking industry.

@DerrickBerthel1 Kin hell

@DerrickBerthel1 So two thirds would not? I thought the point of populists is they are popular.

@DerrickBerthel1 This isn't going to happen. Farage doesn't want to be an MP the day to day grind he likes the commentator's job.
