Thats why people need to get behind the brexit party , and ensure that it gets carried out , because with the exception of UKIP (who have their own dubious agenda), none of the others are bothered about implementing democracy .
The sad thing is we really didn't need this. All we needed was a Government with the balls to see the referendum result through.
Frankly S Club freaking 7 cudda done a better job. Altogether now !!
Brexit's gonna show you how and There aint no party like a Brexit Party.
Well not going to disagree , but we aint got one , and the parties that are actually interested in delivering on democracy are thin on the ground ...so I'm with this one.
Polling guru makes SHOCK prediction for European election – and it will anger Brexiteers POLLING expert Sir John Curtice suggested the Brexit Party and Ukip combined may fail to secure a substantial majority at the European elections despite the growing dissent toward Theresa May for her decision to further extend Brexit.
Deluded Brexit ‘purists’ are killing off their dream of leaving the EU, says LEO McKINSTRY THE DREAM of British independence is fading. Due to bungling by our political class, the quest for national liberation has been turned into a nightmare of procrastination and paralysis.
Last week, the Brexit saga plumbed new depths of humiliation, as Theresa May was forced not only to beg the EU for a further delay in our departure but also to plead for support from the Labour Party in a desperate attempt to break the current stalemate.
Our country should have left more than a fortnight ago, yet, absurdly, we are now likely to participate in the elections for the European Parliament next month.
"Brexit is dead," said one Cabinet minister yesterday
Yet even now, there is still a chance that we could leave the EU soon if only a majority of MPs would back the Prime Minister's Withdrawal Agreement.
So far her deal has been defeated three times by an incongruous alliance of unyielding Brexiteers and Remainers and the bulk of the Labour Party. But if the Commons faced up to its democratic responsibilities and finally backed the deal, then Britain could begin the journey to freedom. On the other hand, if the rejection continues, our nation will sink deeper into the quagmire of inaction, where the only certainty will be the betrayal of the 2016 vote for Leave. Some Brexiteers still cling to the idea of a pure Brexit, but Parliament has repeatedly made clear that it will not support any departure without a deal. If there were any real push for such a step, MPs would simply revoke Article 50, by which our EU membership ends. Besides, the EU, to avoid any risk of No Deal, will keep granting further extensions after the current new deadline of October, as Donald Tusk, the European Council President, hinted at the Brussels summit last week. It is equally deluded to think that the EU would be willing to re-open negotiations on the Withdrawal Agreement. Even if such talks were held, they could backfire, since the other 27 member states might insist on far less favourable terms than Mrs May achieved. President Macron of France, who sees himself as the guardian of the federalist project, has already declared that his "patience" with Britain is wearing thin.
An even bigger fantasy is the belief that the current logjam can be smashed by a Tory leadership contest, from which a Brexit true believer will emerge and then sweep the country at a general election. This is nonsense. The Tories are hopelessly tainted by their failure to deliver Brexit so far, as will be proved by the forthcoming European elections where they face a pincer movement from Remainers and a resurgent anti-EU movement, headed by Nigel Farage's newly created Brexit party. One early poll for the EU elections put the Tories on just 17 percent, far behind the combined total of 25 percent for the Brexit party and Ukip. The wider picture for the Tories is just as dismal. A swift general election would probably mean, not a boost for Brexit, but the arrival of Jeremy Corbyn in power. Yesterday the highly respected polling expert Martin Baxter revealed that the Tories are likely to lose about 60 seats at the next contest, with the arch-Brexiteer Iain Duncan Smith among them. The internal Tory obsession with the leadership change is a self-indulgent distraction from the issue of delivering the 2016 result. The real choices facing Parliament are the Prime Minister's deal, a softer Brexit or no Brexit at all. The hardcore Eurosceptics claim they cannot vote for May's agreement because it is a compromise too far. "I would rather put a shotgun in my mouth," than vote for her deal, says Mark Francois, deputy chairman of the European Research Group. Yet May's deal delivers access to the European trading block without membership of the single market, as well as an end to free movement, large payments to Brussels, and the jurisdiction of the European courts.
The tragedy of Brexit is that Mrs May has been so woeful in selling the merits of her deal. As well as her botched 2017 general election and her reluctance to build a cross-party consensus, her greatest weakness has simply been her inability to communicate. One poll yesterday showed that 49 percent of the public would be willing to back her deal, if only she made her case for it. But sadly the Downing Street bunker rather than campaign platform remains her preferred arena. That has left the field free for her dogmatic opponents. In the process, the supposed champions of Leave have turned into Brexit wreckers
The arrogant elite stuck two fingers up at the people, says NIGEL FARAGE After 25 years of campaigning to get the UK out of the EU, I am the last person who wanted our country to be in this position. Frankly, I think it is an unforgivable state of affairs. But the refusal of the political class in Westminster to honour the referendum result of 2016 means that this unwanted election is upon us. We must make the best of it. Having said all of that, I wouldn't want anybody to think I am despondent. Far from it. And none of the 17.4 million men and women who voted for Brexit should be either. Before us all is a brilliant opportunity to bring about a revolution in Britain's political system. To that end, I want to emphasise with every fibre of my being how important it is that as many people as possible turn out next month and vote for The Brexit Party. I know that many reading this will be sceptical, thinking their vote won't make a difference. But without the people of our nation doing their democratic duty three years ago, we would not have won the EU referendum. On that occasion, we beat the Remain side by more than 1.3 million votes.
Remainers bang on about how close that result was, but I disagree. We won by a number equivalent to the population of Birmingham. That is a substantial margin of victory. The will of a majority of British people was crystal clear.
After June 2016, the overwhelming majority of MPs agreed to enact Brexit. But then Theresa May's shambles of a general election in 2017 - in which she was left with a minority government - changed things.
Remainer MPs, who make up 75 per cent of the House of Commons, started to backtrack. As time has gone on, this arrogant elite have stuck two fingers up at their own manifestos, lied to the electorate, and done everything possible to thwart the result.
They are now stone-deaf to the promises they made previously. Many are so out of touch it is as though they simply don't care anymore.
They have concocted all sorts of bogus arguments to try to kill Brexit. The sheer scale of their betrayal of the country is difficult to grasp. In light of this, the best option open to Brexiteers is to punish both Establishment parties and back The Brexit Party.
That is why I would urge anybody tempted to stay at home on May 23 not to do so. Please do not behave as though we have been defeated. Instead, remember that the 2016 result was just the first triumph.
We must now finish the job and change politics in Britain for good.
The Conservatives and Labour have been as bad as each other when it comes to choking off Brexit. In their own ways, both have connived to let down the citizens of Britain who voted to Leave in 2016.
But Remainers too should be deeply alarmed by the behaviour of our MPs in recent months. They should also vote for The Brexit Party.
Even if they didn't like the referendum result in 2016, they shouldn't be comfortable about the way democracy has been turned on its head.
Indeed, this goes way beyond old-fashioned party politics. A clear message must be sent on May 23 that people are not prepared to go on with this shattered order any longer.
I believe the European elections can be the vehicle for driving the fundamental change that is required in our politics. It is just the start of the revolution for which Britain is crying out. The Brexit Party is going to put competence back into British politics.
No decent person would ever invite anybody associated with violence, thuggery or criminality into their house.
By the same token, no selfrespecting voter should ever consider supporting a party with links to any of these appalling traits either. That is why you can count on The Brexit Party to field a wide range of candidates who are committed to openness, honesty, integrity, and promoting the public good.
After three terrible years in which the people of the UK have been deliberately misled by a group of conceited politicians who are ****-bent on pleasing themselves, we all deserve so much better.
Brexit: UK risks being flooded with dangerous products after leaving EU, experts warn
The UK could be flooded with dangerous toys, cars and electrical appliances after Brexit unless the government acts to keep EU safety standards in place, Which? has warned. Last year, the “Safety Gate” rapid warning system flagged thousands of products across the continent with serious problems. The number of serious safety problems highlighted by Safety Gate has jumped by more than a third in the past decade from 1,542 in 2008 to 2,064 in 2018.
After Brexit, UK authorities could face crucial delays in receiving information about unsafe products, unless an agreement is reached with the EU.
