Problem now is that whoever is chosen as a new PM, they will still have been part of the last lot and will never have the full trust of the people. The expenses scandal was bad enough, but the treachery involved over Brexit will never be forgotten. It's a pity we cannot use a broom to sweep every single one of them out and start afresh. but there we are.
We are where we are. I would imagine if there was to be General Election at this present moment, there is such disgust towards our political elite, three-quarters of the country wouldn't even bother to vote unless the Brexit Party fielded candidates. Policies they may not have yet, but trust in them at least is 100% compared to that motley crew sitting on their backsides in the HOC.

I have never joined any political party until I registered with the Brexit Party, as paying them money as a membership fee would mean you are financially supporting them.
The only one I have felt like supporting financially was, as I said, the Brexit Party and that was primarily because I believe our democracy is being threatened.

However, having fought to ensure we were given a referendum on the matter - which the government assured us would be legally binding - he would have thought his job was done.
He, like the rest of us, had no idea that our corrupt government would go back on its word - the words of Cameron that promised to abide by our decision.
Now that May and her sidekicks have done all they can to prevent Brexit, Farage has returned to finish what he started.
This, however, has now been extended to include not only our escape from the rule of the EU leaders, but also the return of the democracy this country once benefited from.

Yes, I can see a great deal of sense in that list.
I believe that the attendance of a famous public school and/or a degree in politics (or the favoured Oxbridge PPE) is not necessarily the best indication of ability when it comes to the choice of government ministers.
Far more important, in my mind, is the evidence of what people have actually achieved in their work in the 'real world'.

Once again, whilst reading through (unread) posts I have responded (my last but one post) without reading through the rest of the posts!
There are sometimes so many that I am urged to respond before I get around to reading ALL of them!

By that, I mean, I just let them get on with it whilst I worked on keeping my family together.
Brexit has changed all of that and I, probably like many many others, have learned what really goes on behind the scenes.
I am now sure that I know what I'm voting for (Brexit) and what else will be needed as election time comes around (Reform of the role & numbers of MPs and Peers).
We have learned.
I hope!

I know that he has never been an MP, but the impression I get is that he would be more likely to support the general population of this country than to look after himself.
