1) Sack Boris? 2) Ignore Porridge? 3) If the confirmatory second referendum loses to Leave, run a third one?
Currently he has some credibilty, some might even describe him as the father of Brexit... But theres never been any substance or depth to this guys politcal career. Soon his will be the party that failed to get any traction in a general election again. Sensibly he drew the line on failing to get elected as an MP at seven times. After the election failiure, Nige will shrug, pull an inane grin and say "I did my best what more could I do - I gave up my own chances to be elected to support the others". Totally blameless. Then he will continue to heckle for as long as someone will put a microphone in front of him. Just like he always has.
Corbyn? If he doesn't form the next government, I'd expect that he will stand down in the months following the election, in time for a new leader at the annual general meeting. I wouldn't think he would quit the following day. I think he would continue as an MP though.
Is Farage's failure to gain traction in a GE that will determine the fate of Brexit his fault? Or the fault of an electorate that is unwilling or unable to grasp what's at stake? You can lead a Population to water but you cannot make them drink.
Partly his fault I would say. He’s kind of tried to make himself the face of Brexit and now isn’t standing, does look a bit like he’s avoiding any ‘blame’. It can’t all be the electorates fault, surely.
Ha! May & Corbyn might have used those same words. Just don't start saying deep state robbed Nige of his crown...
His standing down from being a candidate, regardless of any good reasons for it, will be and is, viewed very dimly by the voting Public. To that extent, he has sabotaged himself and his Party. Nope. (Unless GCHQ did it!) The only robbery that took place was the Deep State stealing every opportunity the electorate has had to free itself from the EU Empire, through political shenanigans, biased media, legal jiggery-pokery and a constant refusal to engage honestly in the process. Robbery indeed!
