Despite never having had any experience as an MP, he is the best political speaker we have bar none. He has demonstrated that both in the EU parliament and on countless TV programmes and interviews.
You would think that a country that wants to progress and improve might want to take full advantage of his abilities, yet he has never managed to become elected to parliament.
I'm afraid that the blame for that lies not only with the government and the system, but also with us the electorate!

Thousands of Brexit supporters were poised to vote for Nigel in the
last election, but lm afraid he threw our votes away by standing
more than half his candidates down at the last minute leaving us
with no vote ,or vote for Boris??
I am not fully convinced by his reasons for doing this??

By Phil ... enjoy the hanging with the rest of yesterday's men in the HoL.
If it went to the public vote on getting rid of the HoL with Hammond, Clark et al there... I think we know what would happen
Maybe that's the plan, who knows. Fingers crossed.

Boris explained to Nigel that the danger of him standing was the likelihood of him splitting the pro-Brexit vote.
That would have resulted in Compo becoming our next PM!
I'm afraid that I have to agree with that decision.
However, now that the Loony Party is heading toward the level of support now enjoyed by the Limp Dems, things might be different.
If things go the way I hope, by the time the next GE comes along the Conservatives will have taken even more votes from the Loonies, who will hopefully be heading toward non-existence.
That means that we'd need a proper opposition.
My ideal parliament would look like two pretty equally numbered parties: the Conservatives and the new Reform Party.
Hopefully, two parties who would be inclined to support what the majority of the electorate want.
If the one in government was to continue to push for HS2 or to reward 'traitors', for example(!), they'd risk the other party taking control.
The people at last would have the control we deserve.
