Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage‘s cell phone must have been blowing up over the weekend given that “Conservative, Inc.” plus Conservative Party officials freaking out for weeks over the upcoming December 12 general election. With nomination papers due into the government on November 14, Farage planned to field 600 candidates that could be spoilers.

Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage’s plan to field about 600 candidates in the December 12 U.K. general election is not without controversy. Farage, who will campaign tirelessly for his colleagues throughout the country, stands accused of being a spoiler.
With the U.K. general election scheduled for December 12, many wondered if Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage himself would stand as one of the insurgent group’s 600 or so parliamentary candidates for a seat in the House of Commons.
Today, Halloween, was supposed to be Brexit Day in the U.K., when the country would officially leave the European Union and regain its independence and sovereignty. Prime Minister Boris Johnson promised the nation that Brexit would occur on October 31 “do or die.” The avuncular Johnson also claimed that he’d rather “die in a ditch” than agree to another Brexit deadline extension.
President Donald Trump has a tendency to throw rhetorical fuel on the fire. When his riffing at a rally, or sending out a tweet storm, he often creates needless feuds. This kind of rhetoric can obscure a substantive message about his administration’s America First accomplishments. In this way, he tends to forget that when your opponents are digging a hole, let them keep digging.
Vote Democrat in 2020
The Republicans have a lot of explaining to do. Among other issues, the Iraq War was a disaster, they failed to cut the federal budget deficit when they controlled Congress, and former House Speaker Paul Ryan didn’t even lift a finger in 2018 to keep the House in GOP hands. He also played games with funding (or non-funding) the border wall.
Boris Johnson‘s lifelong dream of becoming U.K. prime minister has become something of a nightmare thus far.
He’s lost his “Conservative” majority in parliament, the House of Commons, and the pro-European Union, Remain-dominated chamber seemingly has passed legislation blocking a no-deal Brexit. Plus, the opposition Labor Party under Marxist anti-Semite Jeremy Corbyn has blocked Johnson’s call for a snap national election to break the impasse, reversing their new election advocacy. Making matters worse, the Tony Blair-appointed, globalist Supreme Court ruled that Johnson’s temporary prorogation (suspension) of parliament was illegal.
Canada is headed to a national election on October 21, and apparently the Liberals and the “Conservatives” seem to be in a close contest. The situation took a turn this week, however, that may affect the outcome.
Depending upon where you’re coming from, you can react to the same video clip of a political confrontation in a totally opposite way. For the very same viral clip, Internet users often conclude that A schooled/owned B or B schooled/owned A. Among other things, this is a form of confirmation bias.
Most people go through day-to-day life without being consumed by politics. For them, politics is an afterthought. That’s kind of the way it should be and is perhaps the best argument for the smallest-possible government.
