Is Boris Johnson’s Conservative Party Landslide Win in the U.K. General Election a Good Omen For Trump in 2020?

The U.K. Conservative Party under Prime Minister Boris Johnson won a landslide in yesterday’s general election with 365 seats (with one constituency still undecided). The opposition, far-left Labor (or Labour Party) won 203. According to the Guido Fawkes blog, the Conservatives (a.k.a Tories) seat count is their highest since [Margaret] Thatcher, while Labour’s is their lowest since 1953.” read more

Will the Brexit Party Win Any Seats in the U.K. Election?

If polls are to be believed, U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his Conservative Party will win a parliamentary majority of some kind in the U.K. general election on Thursday, December 12. Johnson has promised to “get Brexit done,” but that may just be a euphemism for Brexit in Name Only 2.0, which would still keep the U.K. subject to heavy handed, anti-Democratic European Union rules and regulations and its bloated bureaucracy. read more

Is Brexit a Halloween Trick or Treat?

U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson is currently meeting with European leaders in an effort to reach a Brexit deal by the current October 31 deadline. On June 23, 2016, the British electorate voted to leave the European Union and reclaim the country’s sovereignty over laws, trade, and immigration, but the divorce decree still hasn’t been signed. Although there is some equivocation, grandstanding EU officials, so far, seem less than receptive to reopening the negotiations. read more

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

Brexit Prompts U.K. Elected Officials to Go Independent

Under British law, the U.K. is scheduled to officially leave (or exit) the European Union on March 29. Because of opposition to her Brexit withdrawal agreement on both sides of the aisle for different reasons, there are rumblings that Prime Minister Theresa May may seek to extend the two-year, Article 50 deadline. This is occurring despite May’s Conservative Party promising to implement Brexit on schedule. Against this backdrop, seven pro-EU Labor Party members of parliament bolted the party to form The Independent Group [TIG] because Labor has gone hard-left under its leader Jeremy Corbyn and harbors anti-Semites. It’s difficult see how they define themselves as centrists, though, in that they want to keep the U.K. under the thumb of EU bureaucrats. They were later joined by three Conservatives who similarly oppose leaving the EU with no deal. Two additional Labor MP subsequently quit the party in protest over rampant anti-Semitism, Both declined to join TIG, one because he is pro-Brexit. read more

The Theresa May Brexit Betrayal May Bring Back UKIP and Nigel Farage

The United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP or Ukip) may be on the comeback trail in the aftermath of British Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit plan, which is seen as a capitulation to the European Union.

May has been criticized for giving away the store, the farm, and the fisheries in the negotiations over exiting the EU, which won’t officially occur until March 29, 2019.

This turn of events prompted Brexiteers David Davis and Boris Johnson, along with several lesser known politicians, to quit May’s cabinet, which is a reflection of widespread opposition to May’s plan. (Unlike the U.S. system, U.K. cabinet members are separately elected on their own as parliamentarians, so quitting the government means that they still retain their seats in the House of Commons).  Other Conservative Party officials have also resigned their positions in protest over May’s proposal.

From Breitbart London:

“It was at Chequers — the Prime Minister’s countryside retreat — on July 5th and 6th 2018 that May nailed her Brexit colours to the mast. Her proposals would see Britain effectively remain inside the EU’s Single Market for industrial goods and agricultural products forever. The country would sign up to a free trade area regulated by a so-called ‘common rulebook’ dictated by the European Court of Justice. It would remain subject to EU state aid rules and keep its employment, environment, consumer protection, and social regulations at least as stringent as the EU, and would also agree to collect customs duties on the EU’s behalf for goods destined for the bloc.”

Recall that on June 23, 2016, U.K. voters approved a referendum to exit the European Union and regain the country’s sovereignty. As leader of Ukip at the time, Nigel Farage is credited with compelling former Prime Minister David Cameron to reluctantly authorize the referendum in the first place.

Theresa May, Cameron’s successor as both Conservative Party leader and the country’s prime minister, is part of the globalist establishment that supported the Remain side, but she vowed to honor the will of the people. In was probably a precursor to what was to come when she dragged her feet about invoking Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, which was necessary to begin the EU divorce process.

What I know in my heart is that if @theresa_may stays as Prime Minister we will not get control back of our borders, our laws, our courts, and our money. It will be a fudge and leave us in a very bad place. pic.twitter.com/Lkpcvdvgoy read more
