Nigel Farage and the Brexit Party Move Forward with Domestic Agenda

While the U.S. is celebrating Independence Day July 4, the U.K. is still trying to resolve the impasse over its independence from the European Union. The British public voted for Brexit about three years ago, but parliament has yet been unable to find its way out. In the meantime, the upstart, Nigel Farage-led Brexit Party, which won big in the May EU parliamentary elections and wants to and appears to be a player domestically, has unveiled its “big vision” for the country. read more

Most of America who were watching TV during the last two nights were probably watching something else. For those who were tuned in to politics, do you think President Trump lost any votes because of the virtue-signaling pander fest otherwise known as the Democratic Debates? read more

Ilhan Omar and ‘Lingering Questions’

Congresswoman Ihan Omar is getting some bad press in the Star Tribune, her hometown newspaper. Championing her candidacy in 2018, that publication, among many virtue-signaling mainstream news outlets, chose to ignore the solid work of investigate journalists and “conservative bloggers.” The Rep.

The Brexit Party Is Partying Like It’s 2014

Brexit champion Nigel Farage, who led the United Kingdom Independence Party to victory in the European Parliamentary Elections in 2014, has done it again. As leader of the grassroots Brexit Party, which only officially launched on April 12, easily won the 2019 version, as both the establishment “Conservatives” and Labor suffered humiliating defeats. With some votes still being tabulated in the proportional representation election, the Brexit Party appears to have captured 30 or so seats in the 73-member U.K. delegation to the Brussels-based European Union.

With some votes still being counted, the Conservative Party got clobbered yesterday in local elections in the U.K. with municipal officials on the receiving end of protest vote over the Prime Minister Theresa May and her party’s failure to implement Brexit. In the low-turnout elections, thousands of voters even scrawled pro-Brexit messages on the ballot papers rather than selecting any of the candidates. “It is unusual to see a consistent message from those spoiling their ballots, reflecting the growing anger at the governmentโ€™s failure to deliver an exit from the European Union.,” Westmonster noted. read more
