WTAF is Farage up to?

And you believe Farage when he says he doesn’t or won’t seek high office in the future? He sought re-election as an MEP this year when he’d apparently retired.
I don’t give him any more leniency on the credibility front than any of the rest of them.

I think another theory more plausible, that Farage is doing his utmost to destroy Brexit and keep the UK in the EU so he keeps himself relevant and the narrative of "betrayal" ongoing. Increasing his own chances of taking power as PM at a future election down the line. Quite clever if you think about it from a long term perspective.

Dom Morris is a solid chap and would be a good addition to Parliament.

I am afraid this scenario playing out is far more plausible than the 3 figure majority that some are predicting.

I'd have gone with a majority (but not a huge one) before last night's events and the deselections. Now I'm not so sure. Let's see what the polls bring out in the next few days.

what 1timetory has said isn't untrue though is it?

Hunt is pretty much continuity May and would never get a fair hearing from the party because of how he voted three years ago. I wouldn't forever pigeon-hole any fellow grassroots member on that decision so I don't think MPs should be either. But that's not how a lot of people are behaving at the moment, so we can't help that.

Boris, whilst unclear what we're going to get from him, represents the true believer brexiter strand of the party. They've wanted him for the last two years, they're now going to get him, now let's see what happens next.

He's not telling the lies that the party wants to hear. Boris is, or at least by keeping quiet he's indulging in them in a by-proxy manner. Did anyone get out of him his brexit position yesterday?

It's very difficult when lots of our members won't accept the reality of the situation we're currently in.

From two different posters:

"Rory comes across well, but he is still wedded to delivering Brexit. So, no thanks..."

"....there is a fatal flaw. He is in favour of remaining in the EU."

They both can't be right.

All this really tells us is

a.) more labour voters will stay tribally loyal to the cause, no matter what, and much more so than 'usually conservative' voters, and so as a result;
b.) the split in the 'usually conservative' vote is much more damaging than a split in the Labour vote off to the Lib Dems or Greens

1997 was when this last happened to the conservatives, and on a much smaller scale to what it seems is happening now, and that resulted in 13 years of Blair and Brown.
