The collapse of the Conservative vote will mean that Labour might very well win a second European seat in the South West. So Andrew Adonis is not a paper candidate.
Labour will top the poll here in the North East, of course. If it did so nationally, then Jeremy Corbyn would have achieved something that none of Tony Blair, Gordon Brown or Ed Miliband ever did. I would like that to happen, and I would like to be part of it.
But Adonis is a Labour candidate, several other hardcore Remainers are also being allowed to stand for Labour, and George Galloway has accordingly felt moved to endorsed the Brexit Party, with plenty of other people from the Left coming onto Twitter and elsewhere to agree with him.
Nigel Farage is also a supporter of Julian Assange, and his party at large is a lot sounder on that issue than Corbyn's is.
All in all, then, can anyone give me a reason not to vote for the Brexit Party?
This election, for once, we have to make sure the Brexit forces are not divided. It’s a single-issue election so we need to vote for what we believe and unite behind the Brexit Party. Come on board, Mr Lindsay.
ReplyDeleteAlthough if this election ever happens, then Brexit never will. In for another five years means in forever.
DeleteThat’s possible. But we may as well go down fighting. And hope springs eternal.
ReplyDeleteI quite agree.
DeleteIndeed. It’s worth standing for what you believe even if it seems hopeless.
ReplyDeleteIncidentally, I was at the Brexit protest in Parliament Square and it was nothing like the Jon Snow stereotype. Good atmosphere with lots of people (many with Northern accents) making friendly conversation with passing tourists.
